TL Safety

At Acura, Safety Through Innovation is based on the idea that an advanced driving experience starts with advanced safety features. This guiding principle is reinforced through the extensive number of standard safety features and use of innovative technologies you'll find in all Acura vehicles.

The Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) system with Traction Control will automatically detect and correct understeer or oversteer situations before you're even aware there's a need. The system intuitively monitors your driving conditions and automatically reduces the throttle and/or applies braking to individual wheels. Should a loss of traction occur during acceleration on slippery road surfaces, Traction Control will compensate to get you safely underway.

Correct tire pressure is critical to safety, performance and fuel efficiency. Enter the RL's Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), which continually monitors the air pressure in each tire. If pressure drops in any tire, a transponder attached to the wheel's valve stem transmits the information to a receiver, and a warning appears on your instrument panel indicating which tire requires attention.

Instead of following a traditional kilometre-and-calendar maintenance schedule, the RL instinctively calculates service needs based on your driving habits. This advanced system takes into account engine revolutions, stop-and-go traffic experience, weather extremes and the frequency of short trips to determine when your next service visit should be. The system helps coordinate oil-servicing dates and other routine maintenance as well.

Available with the TL Technology and SH-AWD Technology Packages, a rearview camera located in the rear spoiler shows a colour image of the area directly behind the vehicle with steering gridlines on your navigation-system screen. Plus, even if the navigation system is turned off, the camera is activated automatically when you engage reverse.
