Basic distance function

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Acura MDX, 2012 Acura MDX, 2011 Acura MDX, and 2010 Acura MDX. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The millimeter wave radar radiates 76-77 GHz radar waves up to a range of 100 m (328 ft) ahead, 16 degrees horizontally, 3.9 degrees vertically, and it receives the reflected waves. In doing so, it can calculate the distance to the vehicle ahead, the relative speed (the difference in speed between the two vehicles), and its position. This data is sent to the ACC unit.
