Automobile safety is high on the list of criteria for consideration among Colorado car buyers. Ask anyone who’s ever been in an accident and they’ll tell you how much they value safety features. And just as important, many who never have an accident can thank the safety features that help prevent accidents.
The 2009 Acura TSX has such features. The TSX has an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) to help you retain steering control of the vehicle even during hard braking.
- It uses sensors to determine if a wheel is about to lock up.
- If imminent lockup is detected, the system pumps and releases brake pressure on the individual wheel several times per second, holding it at the brink of lockup.
- In a braking emergency, the system is designed to allow the driver to apply the maximum level of brake force available while remaining in control.
The Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®) system continually monitors vehicle speed, throttle position, individual wheel speeds, steering angle, lateral g-force, and yaw rate to detect oversteer or understeer.
- When necessary, VSA automatically reduces the engine’s torque and uses the ABS system to apply brakes to each wheel as needed, to help stabilize the vehicle.
- The response is so quick that the instability may be corrected before the driver even knows it’s occurring.
