Acura TLX Blind Spot Detection
The Acura TLX is equipped with the Blind Spot Information (BSI) System, which assists drivers before making lane changes. When a vehicle in either adjacent lane is detected in one of the two alert zones, an indicator will appear on that side’s front door A-pillar close to the side mirror. This system is available on all Acura TLX models with the Technology, A-Spec, and Advance Packages.
The BSI system uses a series of proximity sensors to monitor for vehicles entering the alert zone in adjacent lanes. If a vehicle is detected, an illuminated indicator appears on the corresponding sides mirror or windshield pillar to passively alert the driver. The system is only active when traveling over 20 mph to avoid unneeded proximity alerts when driving in bumper-to-bumper traffic or while parking.
It’s important to note that the BSI system is not a substitute for the driver’s own visual assessment before changing lanes. The accuracy of the system will vary based on weather, the size of the object, and speed. The driver remains responsible for safely operating the vehicle and avoiding collisions.
In summary, the Acura TLX is equipped with the Blind Spot Information (BSI) System, which is available on specific packages and assists drivers by detecting vehicles in adjacent lanes and providing visual alerts to the driver.
