Equipment and practical details

Acura RLX · Generation 1 · USA · 12.2012 - 10.2017. These features occur in different versions of this generation. They are not a shared specification for every car: check the selected trim for the equipment you need and how it operates.

Generation and equipment description ↗

Double-wishbone front suspension
On a version with double-wishbone front suspension, identify the upper and lower arms by body code. A shared suspension layout does not guarantee parts compatibility between versions.
Multi-link rear suspension
For a version with multi-link rear suspension, identify parts by drivetrain and body code. The layout name does not establish a link count or identical settings across all specifications.
Seat-position memory
Check that positions can be stored and recalled, particularly if several drivers will use the car.
Ventilated seats
Try the different settings and listen to the fans. Seat upholstery alone does not establish that this feature is fitted.
Adaptive cruise control
Check distance controls and available modes. The name alone does not establish stop-and-go capability.
Automatic braking assistance
Check the sensor equipment and fault messages. Confirm recognized obstacles and operating speeds for the specific version.
