The Acura “Safety Through Innovation” philosophy is the idea
that an enhanced driving experience starts with the most
advanced safety features. The proof is in the comprehensive
standard driver and passenger safety measures and exceptional
technologies in all Acura vehicles.
AIRBAGS
Maximum safety is achieved with six
airbags designed to protect all occupants
inside the cabin. Depending on the
point and force of impact, the RDX will
deploy: dual-stage, dual-threshold front
airbags that activate at one of two rates
depending on severity of impact; front side
airbags with the innovative passenger-
side Occupant Position Detection System
(OPDS) that will not release if the system
detects a child or small sized passenger;
and side curtain airbags with state-of-the-
art rollover sensors. Plus, for the driver
and passenger, Active Head Restraints
provide excellent neck protection in
case of rear impact.
ABS
The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) helps
maintain steering control when braking
hard on wet, slippery or loose surfaces,
while Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD)
balances braking forces at each wheel to
help compensate for cargo and passenger
weight distribution inside the cabin. Plus,
there’s a Brake Assist feature that senses a
panic stop and applies maximum braking
power to help you stop quickly.
TIRE PRESSURE
Correct tire pressure is critical to safety,
performance, and fuel efficiency. Enter
the RDX’s innovative Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) that
continually monitors the air pressure
in each tire. If pressure drops in any of
your tires, 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.

REARVIEW CAMERA
Featured in the RDX
Technology Package, the
rearview camera shows
a colour image on the
navigation-system screen
of the area directly behind
the vehicle. Even if the
navigation system is turned
off, the camera is activated
automatically when you
engage reverse, giving you
a clear picture of what is
behind you.
SOLID STRUCTURE
The innovative Advanced
Compatibility Engineering™
(ACE™) body structure adopts
a high-tensile, high-efficiency
steel body structure to provide
enhanced protection from
multi-directional collision.
ACE reduces the concentrated
force of a frontal impact by
absorbing energy over a large
area and dispersing it away
from you and other occupants
of the cabin area. Additionally,
ACE is designed to help reduce
occupant injuries caused by
misalignment in collisions
between vehicles of
different sizes.
STABILITY AND TRACTION
The advanced Vehicle
Stability Assist (VSA®)
system with Traction Control
will automatically detect
and correct understeer
or oversteer situations,
sometimes before you’re even
aware there’s a problem. The
system intuitively analyses the
conditions and then reduces
throttle and/or applies braking
to individual wheels. Should
a loss of traction occur on
a slippery surface, Traction
Control will compensate to get
you under way safely.
HIGH-INTENSITY DISCHARGE
(HID) HEADLIGHTS
Light up more than just your
nightlife with high-power
HID headlights. Producing an
intensely brilliant beam of
focused light, HID headlights
enhance your ability to
identify what’s ahead, and
what to avoid.
