Test driving 2016 RDX, how do you tell if RDX has Acurawatch

Just finished test driving 2016 RDX Tech. I found the blind spot warnings near mirrors but could not tell if this model had Acurawatch. Dealer clueless since not Acura.

Wondering if there is way to tell if Acurawatch purchased on any base or Tech model 2016/17 that I am test driving. I presume not on car fax. Looking at mostly non Acura dealers due to price of certified cars and most cars non Acura still under warranty. Thanks

What Kipsy said. Also, put the car in reverse and have someone walk toward the rear. You'll hear a loud beeping and an icon will appear on the screen warning you of cross traffic.

that applies to the "advanced" model I presume.

Nah, my Tech package has this feature. No AcuraWatch though.


Here's a non-AcuraWatch steering wheel:

You can see the two AcuraWatch buttons on the right, just below the cruise control buttons.
