2021 Acura RDX Safety Features
The 2021 Acura RDX is one of the most technologically advanced vehicles on the road. In addition, you can find a long host of safety and security features that are designed to keep you and your occupants safe. At West Side Acura, you can find a great selection of new vehicles packed with all the features and options you want and need.
Anti-lock Brakes
Anti-lock brakes have become a standard feature on 99% of vehicles. If the system senses a wheel that has stopped spinning under hard braking, it will apply brake power in spurts to help the wheel rotate again. This gives the driver more control of their vehicle when braking hard.
Stability Control
Stability control is vital in all driving conditions, especially in Canadian winters. If the system senses the vehicle has gone past its handling limits, it will reduce engine power and apply the brakes to help the driver not lose complete control.
Front-impact Airbags
Front-impact airbags deploy when front sensors detect a severe accident. They help the driver and passenger avoid head injury in a frontal crash.
Side-impact Airbags
Side impact airbags are usually positioned in the front row and deploy when the vehicle is in a side collision. They help to protect the driver and passenger's torso, head, and shoulders.
Overhead Airbags
Overhead airbags deploy if the vehicle is in a side collision or rollover. They help to protect the occupant's head and upper body.
Knee Airbags
Knee airbags have become a vital safety feature in new vehicles. They protect the lower extremities of occupants in the event of an accident.
Pretensioners
As technology has progressed, so has the advancement of older features. Belt pretensioners automatically tighten your seatbelt to ensure the occupant does not move forward more than they have to during a collision. This happens in mere milliseconds.
Security System
The RDX is equipped with a factory-installed security system that detects any unwanted intrusion. If a thief does happen to get inside, the system will disable the ignition, not allowing them to start the vehicle. If you have any questions regarding any of these great features, please don't hesitate to contact us.
