Thanks to content provided by http://www.acura.com, we're continuing our little 3-part mini-series this week to help familiarize our audience with Acura's amazing technology. This is part 2 of our 3-part series... enjoy!

AcuraLink Real-Time Traffic
To get a reliable traffic prognosis, the navigation system screen displays freeway traffic flow, accident locations, plus possible slowdowns from construction and weather conditions. And it's all right on the map so you can find alternate routes to alleviate the blockage.

Acura/ELS Premium Surround Sound System
Bask in a warm bath of Surround Sound with the Acura/ELS Premium Surround Sound System which delivers six distinct channels of sound from any digital source, including CDs, XM Satellite Radio, iPod or audiophile DVD-audio discs. It'll even make your 20th Century tunes sound fresh.
Super Handling All-Wheel Drive System
There's a reason turns are quicker, more stable, and seem to defy the laws of physics. Super Handling All-Wheel Drive knows which wheels need the most power in a turn and sends it there. SH-AWD knows this forwards, backwards, and sideways.

Keyless Access System
Walk up to your Acura. As your remote is detected, the door will unlock as you touch the handle. The driver's seat and mirrors will instantly move to your preferred positions. Even your climate control and audio system will be set to your preferences. You can then start your car without ever having touched the key.

Acura Navigation System with Voice Recognition
With a single voice command, an Acura can guide you home. The system will also direct you to about seven million other destinations in its database, from museums to the nearest ATM machines. It will take you to any address you enter, and with the Zagat restaurant reviews, it can even lead you to the best spicy tuna roll in town.

Come back next week as we bring you the 3rd and final part of Acura's breakthrough technology...

Thanks to content provided by http://www.acura.com/, we've decided to bring you a little 3-part mini-series to help familiarize our audience with Acura's amazing technology. Each week we'll give you details on the different technology advancements and features found in our Acura line-up.

VTEC
In your daily routine, you breathe through your nose. When you exert yourself, you breathe through your mouth. VTEC gives you more power on demand by using this same principal. Valves open longer and wider, taking in more air when the engine is working harder. A VTEC variation known as i-VTEC on 4-cylinder engines also adjusts valve timing across the rev range. For both systems, the result is greater acceleration - without the panting.

Active Sound Control
This cunning way of reducing cabin noise actually amps up the solitude. Opposing sound frequencies are created by the audio system, which cancel out all extraneous noise. This lowers the ambient sound levels by almost 10 decibels so the silence comes through loud and clear.

Active Front Lighting System
If there's something out there, these private eyes will be the first to find the evidence. Steer to the right, and the right headlight automatically pivots in the direction of your turn, illuminating where you're heading - not just what's in front of you.

Bluetooth HandsFree Link
Not only can you talk on the phone while your hands are on the wheel, you can call up to 50 friends in your HandsFreeLink phonebook and hardly even lift a finger. With voice command actviation, simply say your friend's name and the system dials the number for you.

Collision Mitigation Braking System
We've all succumbed to a daydream or two while driving. Fortunately, the system can sense if a frontal collision is likely and alerts you. If an impact seems imminent, and no action has been taken by the driver, the front belts tighten and brakes are applied automatically to reduce impact speed.

stay tuned for part 2 next week as we bring you more definitions and details of Acura's breakthrough technology...
