2018 Acura MDX Owners Manual - Lane Keeping



Lane Keeping

Assist System (LKAS)

Provides steering input to help keep the vehicle in the middle of a detected lane and visual and tactile alerts if the vehicle is detected drifting out of its lane while driving between 45-90 mph (72-145 km/h).

Lane departure message

Light steering assistance

If your vehicle begins to drift away from the center of a detected lane without a turn signal activated, steering torque is applied to help keep your vehicle centered within the lane.

If your vehicle continues to drift and gets too close to detected left or right side lane markings, a Lane Departure message appears on the MID and the steering wheel vibrates. In either case, take appropriate action to stay within your driving lane.

Turning LKAS On or Off

  1. Press MAIN. LKAS appears in the MID.

Important Safety Reminder

LKAS is for your convenience only. It is not a substitute for your vehicle control. The system does not work if you take your hands off the steering wheel or fail to steer the vehicle.

Do not place an object on the top of the instrument panel. It may reflect onto the windshield and prevent the system from detecting lane lines properly.

Do not use when towing.
