2006 Acura RL – In Depth

The 2006 Acura RL combines performance, technology, style and safety in an athletic luxury package that pushes the boundaries of automotive design on multiple fronts. No production car at any price has ever offered more advanced electronic technology or drive-system sophistication. And none has made its driver more connected-with real time traffic information, personal assistance, phone communication and audio entertainment. True to form for Acura, the many advanced systems of the RL are engineered to function smoothly, efficiently and intuitively. 

As part of its commitment to providing safety through innovation, Acura now offers an optional Technology Package for the 2006 RL that includes two leading-edge safety features: a Collision Mitigation Braking System(TM) (CMBS), and Michelin(R) PAX(R) Run-Flat Tires. The RL is the first North American vehicle to be equipped with CMBS. It uses a millimeter-wave radar unit mounted inside the front grille to detect vehicles ahead and monitor potential rear-end collisions, alert the driver when the likelihood of a collision increases, and help reduce the impact on front occupants by tightening the seatbelts and applying the brakes should a collision prove to be imminent.

The Michelin PAX System run-flat tire technology helps provide enhanced safety and security with continuous mobility of up to 125 miles at 50 mph following a tire puncture.

The Technology Package also adds the convenience of Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC). Adaptive Cruise Control also uses the radar system mounted inside the front grille to measure the distance between the RL and the vehicle directly ahead. To compensate for varying traffic flow, ACC adjusts vehicle speed automatically by applying throttle and braking to maintain a consistent following interval.

We love the car, only selling because we just bought a minvan. Never eaten in, no pets, non smoker, always garaged, no accidents, new tags, title in hand.
