Acura Wins Top Value Award & Earns Highest Safety Ratings
Acura has the highest expected resale value of any luxury brandAs the
winner of the 2009 Automotive Leasing Guide (ALG) Residual Value Award
for Overall Luxury Brand*, Acura vehicles have earned the distinction
of having the highest expected resale value of any luxury brand. With
such meticulous engineering, craftsmanship and forward-looking
technology, it's little wonder that Acura vehicles are built to
last-and that Acura was awarded the top prize. The only brand to
receive top safety ratings from IIHS and NHTSA across all modelsAcura
is the first car company ever to receive Top Safety Pick designations
from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) for every one of
its vehicles. All five 2009 Acura models, both passenger cars and SUVs,
earned "good"-the highest score possible-on frontal, side and rear
crash tests. In addition, Acura is the only luxury brand to receive
five-star crash test safety ratings from the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA)** for all of its models, as a result of
the government's front and side impact tests. But impact tests are only
part of Acura's safety success story. Our myriad of advanced
technologies help prevent collisions from ever happening, thanks to
state-of-the-art features like Active Front Lighting System (AFS),
Brake Assist, Electronic Brake Distribution, Vehicle Stability Assist?
(VSA®), and Collision Mitigation Braking System? (CMBS?).

Unique HandsFreeLink (HFL) Operational Features on the 2009 TL
Unique HandsFreeLink (HFL) Operational Features on the 2009 TL
Please note the following unique operational features for the HFL system on the 2009 TL:
* On Tech models, the TALK and BACK buttons are used for all voice commands, including HFL and navigation.
* On Tech models, use the TRANSFER function of the navigation system controls to transfer a phone call between HFL and your phone. Voice commands may no longer be used to perform this function.
* The "voice control" system can only be used in the driver's seat because the microphone unit for the system, located in the ceiling console, removes noises from the front passenger's side. Consequently, if you want to demonstrate the voice control system to your customers, you must do so while seated in the driver's seat.
* The microphone unit will pick up passenger voices during a Handsfree Bluetooth phone conversation.
