Blind Spot Assist
Acura’s blind spot information system solves one of the oldest safety issues. Using radars, this system looks for vehicles where you can’t see them and then alerts you if it finds one. Whenever the blind spot assist senses a car where you can’t see it, a light on the windshield pillar comes on to warn you. Also, when you turn on your turn signal, a light flashes and a warning beep sounds to better get your attention. Blind spot assist works when you are traveling over 20 mph.
