Lane change flashes

Our family purchased a 2017 RDX Elite. Came from a 2012 TSX and haven't been active for a while because switched over the Lexus for the past couple of year. Glad to be back though!

Was wondering if there was a way to change the number of flashes for the one-touch lane change function? It's set to three flashes and I didn't see anything in the manual that indicated this could be changed...

I suspect that is the only choice. The RDX isn't top of the line for Acura so they don't put their top shelf stuff in it.

3 flashes is it. If you want more just use the turn signal. And why would you want less than three?

I was hoping for 4 or 5 flashes actually. Three blinks is just a tad short for me.

It's adjustable on recent Lexus models by the dealer so I was just wondering if Acura had similar adjustments.

It was adjustable on my 2004 touareg so you aren't crazy for wanting it. My current 2012 Sorento only has 3 flashes for that feature too and I agree it is a tad short, but on the flip side I had the Touareg set to 5 flashes and when I accidentally tapped the stalk it flashed so long that I forced my to switch to another lane a few times because people thought I was really turning and made room for me so I felt bad lmao.

Three seems like the appropriate length. Five or six blinks followed by no action is kind of dangerous.
