AcuraWatch™ is Acura’s advanced suite of driver-assistance and safety technologies designed to keep you more aware and better protected every time you get behind the wheel. Whether you’re commuting down I-684, navigating busy roads in Bedford Hills, or heading out on a road trip, AcuraWatch keeps an extra set of eyes on the road so you can drive with added confidence.
At Acura of Bedford Hills, we believe safety should be smart, seamless, and standard – and that’s exactly what AcuraWatch delivers.
AcuraWatch™ is a package of intelligent safety and driver-assist technologies included on most new Acura models. It combines sensors, cameras, and real-time processing to help monitor the road and alert you to potential hazards. In some cases, it can even intervene to help avoid or reduce the severity of a collision.
Whether you’re driving an Integra, TLX, RDX, or MDX, AcuraWatch comes standard or is available depending on trim, giving you advanced safety tools without forcing you into a top-tier model.
Let’s break down the key features you’ll find in AcuraWatch and how they help on the road.
CMBS™ uses a forward-facing camera and radar to detect vehicles or pedestrians ahead. If it senses a potential frontal collision, it alerts you – and if you don’t react in time, it can automatically apply the brakes.
Why it Matters: CMBS™ gives you a critical head start in emergencies. Whether you’re in stop-and-go traffic or cruising at highway speeds, it’s always scanning.
This isn’t your everyday cruise control. ACC maintains a set speed, but also adjusts to the flow of traffic by automatically slowing down or speeding up to maintain a safe following distance.
Why it Matters: Long drives up the Taconic or down the Hutchinson Parkway just got easier. No more constant pedal work in light traffic.
LKAS subtly adjusts the steering to help keep you centered in your lane when markings are visible. If you begin to drift without signaling, the system gently nudges you back.
Why it Matters: Fatigue and distractions happen. LKAS helps prevent unintentional lane departures and keeps your drive smoother.
Using a camera to detect road edges and lane lines, RDM can alert you if you start to leave the road and gently steer or brake to help keep you on track.
Why it Matters: If you’re driving on narrow backroads or through unfamiliar territory, this system provides a helpful layer of support.
A camera scans the road for speed limit signs and displays them on your dash or head-up display, helping you stay informed without having to scan the roadside.
Why it Matters: No more wondering if the limit dropped when you weren’t looking. It’s like having a road-savvy co-pilot.
