The 2009 Acura MDX is as versatile and well-suited for errands and excursions around Denver as it is for mountain getaways with family or friends. The 2009 Acura MDX has tons of available features, and combined with its exceptional utility and safety is a choice for many Denver area residents in need of a 7-passenger vehicle.
On the topic of safety, braking and stopping ability are central themes. According to published information from Acura:
The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) helps you retain steering control when braking hard, as sensors monitor your wheel speed for slippage.
- If lock-up seems imminent, ABS first brakes, then reduces hydraulic pressure to the affected wheel, letting it regain traction before full braking resumes—a process it can repeat more rapidly than is humanly possible.
- Keeping the brakes on the brink of lock-up enables the brakes to achieve their maximum level of stopping power, while still allowing the driver to steer the vehicle.
- The Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD) system uses the ABS sensors to direct braking power among the four wheels.
- Brake power distribution is varied, depending on how the car is dynamically loaded.
- EBD also helps optimize the level of brake force prior to activation of the Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS).
Brake Assist
The Brake Assist system can detect an emergency braking situation and will supply additional brake force if pressure on the brake pedal is determined to be insufficient.
- Sensors monitor the speed at which the brake pedal is depressed and the level of force the brake pedal is being held at.
- When emergency braking is detected, Brake Assist steps in to insure the ABS system is activated
- Brake Assist terminates immediately upon release of the brake pedal.
