2005 Acura Rl Owners Manual
2005 Acura RL (US) Overview Manufacturer Also called Production 1995–2012 1996–2012 Assembly, Japan Body and chassis 4-door Chronology Predecessor Successor The Acura RL is a / executive / medium-sized that was manufactured by the division of for the 1996–2012 over two generations. The RL was the of the marque, having succeeded the, and was replaced in 2013 by the. All models of the Legend, RL and RLX lines have been adapted from the. The model name 'RL' is an abbreviation for 'Refined Luxury.' The first-generation Acura RL was a version of the third-generation Honda Legend, and was first introduced to the market in 1996, to replace the second-generation. The second-generation Acura RL was a rebadged version of the fourth-generation Honda Legend, introduced to the North American market in September 2004, as a 2005 model. This iteration of the RL received an extensive for the 2009 model year, and a further update for 2011.
The third-generation debuted for the 2014 model year as the. 1996–1998 Acura 3.5RL (base) Overview Also called Acura 3.5RL Production December 15, 1995—2004 1996–2004 Mitsuhiro Honda Tamotsu Okamoto (1993) Powertrain 3.5 L 4-speed Dimensions 114.6 in (2,911 mm) Length 1996–1998:195.1 in (4,956 mm) 1999–2001:196.6 in (4,994 mm) 2002–2004:196.7 in (4,996 mm) Width 1996–1998:71.3 in (1,811 mm) 1999–2001:71.4 in (1,814 mm) 2002–2004:71.7 in (1,821 mm) Height 1996–1998:54.5 in (1,384 mm) 1999–2001:56.5 in (1,435 mm) 2002–2004:54.5 in (1,384 mm) 1996 (KA9) In 1996, Acura introduced the Acura 3.5RL, known internally as 'KA9,' to replace the Legend. Acura dropped the Legend name when market research showed that consumers knew Acura products by their model names, 'Legend' and 'Integra,' and did not necessarily associate the names with Honda's 'Acura' brand. The 3.5RL's longitudinally mounted V6 engine had its center-line mounted in-line with the car's axis, and not transversely (i.e., 90 degrees offset from the vehicle axis) like most other front-wheel-drive cars. This longitudinal placement allowed for a smaller turning radius and easy in-town maneuverability, as well as 56/44 front/rear weight distribution.
Rear view In late 1998, the 1999 3.5RL received a front and rear facelift with integrated foglights, revised bumpers and hood, as well as driver and front passenger side airbags. The suspension and chassis were stiffened, and new alloy wheels were offered. In 1999, a larger navigation system screen was added for the 2000 model year. Along with that larger screen came the conversion to easy-to-replace DVD map databases. In 2001, the 2002 model year 3.5RL received painted lower trim and mudflaps along with redesigned alloys and a newer, sportier suspension setup. Perhaps the more important change was the engine, which was upgraded to produce 225 hp (168 kW) and 231 lb⋅ft (313 N⋅m) of torque.
More insulation was added in the engine compartment for MY2002. In 2004 RLs received clear turn signal lenses in the rear lights, another new alloy wheel design, and various interior upgrades including new color schemes.
For model year 2004, the 3.5RL offered as standard equipment a revised navigation system and integrated satellite radio in addition to a redesigned center console and chrome door lock pulls. The 2004 3.5RL was the first production saloon car to offer satellite radio as standard equipment. The 1996–2004 3.5RL's engine was the last in the Acura lineup not to use Honda's variable valve timing system , This 3.5 L 90-degree V6 engine was internally designated as the C35A, and was the last of the V6 engines used in Honda and Acura lineups, being replaced by the newer 60-degree V6 engines. The 2004 RL was also the last Acura to use the numeric designation (i.e., 3.5) for its engine displacement.
Acura RL 2005 (KB1) A new-generation car, known internally as 'KB1,' was launched in late 2004 for the 2005 model year. Still without the much-rumored, it featured a sophisticated system Acura calls 'Super Handling-All Wheel Drive'. It integrates with the all-wheel-drive system and traction control to improve handling, similar to the 'ATTS' system featured on the 1997 SH. At the time of its introduction, the Acura RL's SH-AWD was the first all-wheel-drive system to vary the distribution of power not only from front to back, but also side to side in the rear using a technique called torque vectoring. The RL can direct up to 70% of available torque to the rear wheels, and up to 100% of that available rear torque can be directed to just one wheel. In combination with a specially designed planetary gear set which can over-drive the rear wheels at up to 5% greater speed than the front wheels, the torque directed to one wheel, or torque vectoring, can have a steering effect. As the car speeds around a curve, torque vectored to the outside rear wheel will push the rear end around the curve faster, just as paddling the outside oar of a row boat faster than the inside oar will cause the row boat to turn, to minimize the understeer common in front-heavy vehicles.
The first-generation RL was powered by a 225 hp (168 kW) 90° V6 non- engine. The second-generation RL uses a newer design 60° 3.5 L V6 VTEC engine delivering 300 hp (224 kW; later revised to 290 hp (220 kW) due to new SAE testing procedures). To give the car a more sporty feel, the car featured drive-by-wire throttle control and a five-speed sequential sport shifting with shift paddles mounted on the steering wheel. As with the first-generation Acura RL, the second-generation Acura RL used premium unleaded fuel rated at 91 (R+M)/2 octane.
A first for the RL was the use of aluminum 4-piston front brake calipers over 12.6-inch cast-iron ventilated front rotors. These multi-piston calipers derived from racing applications, are extremely rigid. In the rear, 12.2-inch cast-iron ventilated discs attached to their hub with lightweight aluminum collets and were gripped by one-piston aluminum brake calipers. The RL was equipped with unique five-spoke 17-inch alloy wheels and Michelin Pilot HX MXM 4 245/50-R-17 98V all season grand touring tires. These wheels were one inch larger in diameter, and the tires 20 mm wider in section, than those found on the first-generation Acura RL. New features on the 2005 RL included a which allowed the driver to both lock and unlock the car by touching the door handle, without having to use the remote control, and a keyless start system. A new 260 watt, ten speaker DVD-Audio sound system equalized for the RL cabin featured several Bose technologies.
Bose AudioPilot is a noise compensation technology which analyzes background environmental cabin noise and uses an algorithm based on cabin acoustics to boost certain portions of the musical signal so that it may be heard more clearly above environmental sound 'clutter' without any apparent change in volume. Bose Centerpoint processes stereo and matrix surround sound recordings to allow play through the 5.1 sound system even though the source may only be a stereo sound track. Bose Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) rounded out the suite. Always on, whether the stereo was on or not, ANC took input from two microphones placed in the cabin to analyze drivetrain-related low-frequency sound waves entering the cabin.
The ANC sent information to the sound system to create a precisely shaped and timed reverse-phased audio signal from the door speakers and the subwoofer. The result was a dramatic reduction in engine and exhaust noise., integrated hands-free technology for wireless phone use, voice recognition technology with over 560 voice commands to control navigation system and displays, wireless phone, audio system, heating and ventilation controls rounded out the cabin's technological features.
Heating and air conditioning systems were tied into a solar sensor and GPS positioning so that cabin temperature remained constant in a mixed sun and shade situation. Based on sun position and cabin orientation, the system could automatically send additional cooling air to the sunny side of the car to keep that occupant comfortable, while not freezing out the occupant on the shady side. The DVD-based navigation system was integrated with an 8-inch LCD display and a multi-use Interface Dial, which could move up, down, left and right like a mouse, turn like a knob, scroll through preset menus, and click when pushed to act as a selector button.
Unlike many in-car navigation systems, the Alpine DVD-based navigation unit allowed the driver to change destinations and routes 'on the fly' while driving, rather than being locked out unless the car was in Park. The tightly integrated voice recognition system worked with the navigation system and could recognize spoken city and street names. Also unique at the time was two-way communication via AcuraLink satellite communication. Using a facility of XM Radio service, the system could send a variety of messages to the car, including service appointment reminders (appointments first made via Internet) or important messages such as recall notices. The use of was carried over from the previous generation RL. Use of digital/analog trimode (two digital bands and one analog band) technology allowed the 2005 RL OnStar technology to survive the planned 2007 phase-out of the analog OnStar to fully digital OnStar service. Other new RL features included the, in which the high intensity discharge headlamps swiveled in concert with the steering up to twenty degrees, for improved night cornering vision.

Light emitting diodes replaced traditional incandescent bulbs in the tail and brake lights, the turn signals integrated in the side mirror housings, and many interior cabin lights. Engine bay of the Acura RL The 2005 RL was also the first Honda vehicle to use the Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body structure, which has since proliferated throughout every newly introduced Honda and Acura vehicle design.
The ACE structure features extensive use of high-tensile steel and lightweight aluminum components in a front-mounted polygonal main frame, designed to engage vehicles of differing size and weight in a frontal collision and spread the forces through multiple structural pathways, while preventing or minimizing cabin deformation. In practical terms, this means in an versus ACE structure car collision, there is a greater chance that the ACE body structure will engage with the SUV's frame and dissipate collision forces around the passenger compartment.
In more conventional non-ACE car structures, the SUV frame has a much greater chance of missing or over-riding the conventional car's major structural components and a greater chance of deforming the passenger compartment. The 2005 RL car structure made extensive use of somewhat 'exotic' materials for a car at this price point. These included aluminum alloy in the hood, front fenders, trunk lid and frame, front and rear subframes, suspension arms, front knuckles and bumper beams. Magnesium was used in the intake manifold, and the two-piece center drive shaft was made of a carbon reinforced composite. The new RL featured extensive aerodynamic design treatment including details such as industry-first flush side glass, plus underbody covers and diffusers to reduce lift, resulting in a very low of 0.29. 2009–2010 Acura RL For the 2009 model year, the RL received an extensive (MMC), and made its introduction at the on February 6, 2008, billed as 'the most extensive Acura MMC ever'. The new sedan was designated KB2 in the VIN codes, differentiating it from the 2005–2008 KB1 chassis VIN code.
The revised sedan was released on July 1, 2008 to dealerships. The engine is upgraded to 3.7L with 300 hp (220 kW). While on paper, the engine may seem to be the same unit as shared with the, it is actually a variant that introduces, for the first time ever on an SOHC Honda, an implementation of the Honda variable valve train technology on both intake and exhaust for improved horsepower and torque.
Heretofore, all previous SOHC Honda engines with VTEC used the technology on the intake side only. Engine emissions were reduced to meet the stricter (EPA) TIER 2 – BIN 5 and ULEV-2 standards. Implementation of the SH-AWD was adjusted for earlier intervention and a greater rear-wheel bias for better handling dynamics.
The MMC RL suspension was upgraded with higher-rate coil springs, larger diameter anti-sway bars and stiffer bushings all around. The MMC RL was equipped with a new larger front anti-sway bar of hollow construction, 30 mm diameter overall with a 6.5 mm wall thickness, and a larger rear solid anti-sway bar, 19 mm in diameter. The pre-MMC models sported a solid 29 mm front and 17 mm rear sway bar.
Standard 18- x 8-inch seven-spoke alloy wheels with 245/45-18 tires replaced the previous years' 17- x 8-inch five-spoke offerings for not only the Base and Tech package models, but also for the highest trim level, the ACC/CMBS equipped model. Previous years' ACC/CMBS equipped models were equipped with Michelin PAX System run-flat tires on 18-inch equivalent (460 mm diameter) five-spoke wheels. Inside, the front seats were revised for greater comfort and to allow a slight increase in rear leg room. The passenger front seat received the same full 10-way power control as the driver's seat. Both front seats featured active head restraint systems, and the existing seat-heating feature was supplemented by six levels of cooling ventilation. Controls for heating and air conditioning were simplified, and additional individual vent controls were added for the driver and passenger.
The shift gear no longer had a gated sequence, but moved straight fore and aft like the ones in the and. Simulated woodgrain trim was added to the steering wheel and the top of the shifter, to emphasize the RL's upscale aspirations compared to its less costly TL and TSX siblings. Additional insulation, improved acoustic isolation windshield design, and a new implementation of the Active Noise Cancellation system (ANC) combined to make the 2009 RL's interior quieter in a variety of conditions.
Whereas the former ANC was set to cancel out only low frequency boominess from the engine and exhaust, the MMC system, called Active Sound Control, was expanded in its range to cancel some higher frequency road and tire noise as well. Unlike its predecessor ANC, Active Sound Control was now linked to throttle position and engine RPM to provide a quieter cockpit during normal cruising, yet allowed more of the new 3.7L engine's 'muscular sound' to be heard during higher-RPM, higher-speed excursions. An additional microphone as well as some switchable directionality was added to the HFL (Hands Free Link) and Voice Activated Navigation and Convenience controls. When the system was in 'accept commands' mode, the new microphone system provided more accurate system 'understanding' of the driver's voice. Extraneous sounds, such as other voices in the cabin and wind noise, were better distinguished and filtered out by the dual microphone system.
Directionality was removed when an HFL voice call was established, so that all passengers could still participate in a phone call as in the pre-MMC model. The new dual microphone system used real estate in the overhead console that was previously used in the 2005 and 2006 models for OnStar control electronics. The number of voice recognition commands was increased to over 700, up from 560 previously. The DVD-based navigation system improved on previous XM satellite-linked traffic flow reporting, adding continuously updated real-time weather reporting and the capability to reroute based on current traffic conditions. The DVD Audio-capable 10-speaker sound system remained, but integration with the audio system was improved with the addition of Bluetooth stereo and a USB port that allowed integration and operation of and other type devices. Also new was the ability to display iPod or other MP3 device (such as a USB flash memory device) folder and playlist information on the car's 8-inch central navigation display screen.
New shifter and center console arrangements were added, including a Sport mode. The steering wheel paddle shifters were reprogrammed for faster response, and the paddle shifters could be operated in both Drive and Sport modes. In pre-MMC models, the gear selector had to be put in manual mode for the paddle shifters to operate. In exterior length, the 2009 RL grew slightly by 2.2 inches (56 mm).
The height grew by a scant 0.1 inches (2.5 mm), while the width, track and wheelbase remained the same. The front end including the hood, and the rear including the trunkline, were revised, and the headlights and taillights redesigned. One of the most controversial features of the 2009 RL was its 'Power Plenum' grille design, the first of three similar designs that was soon joined by the second-generation 2009 and the fourth-generation 2009. Curb weights increased for 2009. The MMC Base weighed in at 4083 lbs, the Technology Package model 4085 lbs, and the ACC/CMBS with no PAX weighed 4110.
The equivalent 2006 pre-MMC Technology Package had weighed 4012 lbs, and the pre-MMC with ACC/CMBS/PAX weighed 4074 lbs. MSRP for the 2009 Acura RL increased by $500 over 2008 model for each of its three trim levels.
For 2009, the Michelin PAX Run Flat Tire system was no longer offered in combination with the CMBS/ACC package. ACC was now featured alongside CMBS as part of the package name, after a two-year hiatus. In reality, ACC was always included as a part of the CMBS. Colors were also added and deleted. 2009 RL Exterior Colors.
2011–2013 Acura RL (US) The 2011 Acura RL added new color combinations and new features: six-speed automatic transmission, power folding mirrors, and rear backup/parking sensors. The six-speed automatic transmission, first introduced on the 2010, finally replaced the RL's five-speed automatic, long criticized by the press as outdated. The transmission upgrade was credited for an EPA gas mileage improvement to 17/24/20 (City/Highway/Combined) an increase of 2 mpg in highway driving.
In addition, 0-60 times were said to decrease by 0.5 seconds, to 6.0 seconds. There have been reports that the 2009 Acura RL Mid Model Change was originally the introduction candidate for the six-speed feature within the Acura lineup, but that the transmission was still undergoing testing and was not yet ready at that time.
Power folding mirrors had been available in markets other than North America since the 2004 introduction in Japan. Parking/backup sensors had been available in the North American market as a dealer installed option since the second generation Acura RL's introduction in late 2004. A host of other features had also been available since the car's introduction in late 2004, some of which are detailed in the Safety section below. The RL exterior was updated for 2011 with a toned-down version of the controversial 'power plenum' front grille. Inside, the RL offered a new interior color (Sea Coast), new Dark Burlwood interior trim, and thin-thread stitching on the steering wheel. Unique new 18' x 8' diameter 15-spoke aluminum wheels included a new noise quieting technology: a polypropylene 'Helmholtz resonator' that encircled the center portion of the inside of the wheel.
The resonator served to suppress specific frequencies between 100 and 500 hertz, and in combination with increased floorboard insulation, decreased interior noise by 1.3 dB, or 15%. The in the wheels were touted as a 'world's first' for a passenger vehicle.
The new wheels appeared to be conventional alloy wheels modified to incorporate an internal noise reduction device. A diagram showed an elastomer-type ring with multiple hollow chambers surrounding the center line of the wheel circumference. This resonator was designed to absorb the resonances generated by rough road surfaces such as highway seams. 2011 RL Exterior Colors 2011 RL Interior Colors Alberta White Pearl Ebony, Seacoast (Seacoast is added; Parchment is dropped) Crystal Black Pearl Ebony, Taupe (Taupe is added, Parchment is dropped) Graphite Luster Metallic Ebony, Taupe Forged Silver Metallic Ebony, Taupe Pomegranate Pearl Seacoast Opulent Blue Pearl is dropped Grigio Metallic is dropped Platinum Frost Metallic is dropped Silver Jade Metallic is dropped 2011 RL Base Package US$47,200 2011 RL Technology Package US$51,350 2011 RL Technology + Advance Package US$55,150 2012 update. 2011–2013 Acura RL (US) The 2012 Acura RL appears to be a carryover from the 2011 refresh with no substantive changes.

The SH-AWD all-wheel-drive system was lauded by as one of the best automotive innovations of 2004, and earned the 2005 'Tech Car of the Year' from CNET.com. In a comparison of 2006–2007 model year mid-luxury sedans with all-wheel drive (prices ranging from $60,000 to 65,000 CAD), the RL compared favorably to a and a with. Subsequent moves by both Audi and BMW to design and market their own versions of torque vectoring all-wheel-drive systems bear out the innovative nature of the SH-AWD design. While critically acclaimed, sales have not met expectations. Despite the mid-generational update in 2009, only 2,043 cars were sold in the U.S., a 55 percent drop from 2008.
Among Japanese luxury flagships marketed in America during the first six months of 2010, Acura sold only 872 RLs, compared to 5,650 and 6,602 sedans. Only 379 RLs were sold in North America in 2012. Enthusiasts and dealers said that the RL was not competitive because it lacked the full-size dimensions (the back seat was regarded as tight for a car of this size), a V8 engine performance option, and the better handling and balanced rear-wheel drive of its larger rivals in the mid-luxury segment. The 2009 refresh and 2011 update did not keep the RL competitive enough in acceleration or fuel economy, considering that other marques had released new generations of their mid-size luxury sedans, and as the 2009-10 RL retained a five-speed automatic transmission while other rivals had automatics with six or seven gears. Other competitors that were midway through their model cycle, such as the 2004-07 BMW 530i and 2005–08 Audi A6 3.2 FSI (with naturally-aspirated 6-cylinder engines that were less powerful than the Acura RL's 3.5L V6) received updated engines with turbocharging/supercharging; the resulting 2008 BMW 535i and 2009 Audi A6 3.0 TFSI proved more powerful and fuel-efficient than the 2009 Acura RL (with a 3.7L V6).
The RL's styling, while generally considered handsome, was not viewed as inspiring or passionate enough to alert buyers to its technological features or stand out in a crowded field, and the 2009 model was criticized for its 'power plenum' grille, a bright horizontal pentagon of chrome that formed a shield across the upper center. Some have suggested that the Acura RL's failure in the market was due to its initial pricing which was perceived to be out of its bracket. Honda Japan believed that the new RL offered more features and performance than the base version of its luxury competitors (i.e., the base six-cylinder ), and suggested that it could charge more, though Honda Canada disagreed. The RL's initial MRSP was $69,500 CAD, more than the six-cylinder BMW 525i and close to that of the V8-powered 2005 BMW 545i at $70,000 CAD.

At the RL's price point, most consumers expected a V8. Furthermore, they did not perceive the Acura brand as being on par with its German rivals and expected more value from the Japanese marque, particularly with more expensive offerings (as opposed to entry-level offerings like the Acura TL which were much more successful in their price brackets). The damage from Honda Japan's alleged hubris was done, perhaps giving the RL an unfavorable image that could not be removed, even though Honda Canada has since reduced the RL's price.
Although other Japanese manufacturers have had limited success in the mid-luxury market which has been dominated by the Germans, the 350 and 35 (which debuted around the same time as the second-generation Acura RL) followed a strategy of undercutting the German executive cars with lower pricing and/or more standard features and sold considerably better than the RL. Late in its production lifespan the RL also faced competition from the which was less expensive yet similarly refined, while featuring rear wheel drive and an optional V8 engine. In 2009, the new generation of the was released. The TL's high performance trim features essentially the same engine (but slightly more horsepower, so Acura advertised the TL as its most powerful car), the SH-AWD system, similar dimensions, and many of the RL's other key features for only $44,900 CAD, causing some to question whether it rendered the costlier RL superfluous in Acura's own showrooms. An auto journalist remarked of the RL's successor, the, saying 'Making the RLX bigger fixes nothing.
The RL's problem, and now the RLX's, is that the car looks and feels like an exalted, compulsively over-equipped Honda Accord'. Safety In October 2010, the Acura RL was named by as the most reliable new car among luxury sedans, one of five Honda models so honored in their respective categories.
The others were the front-wheel-drive version of the Acura TL among upscale sedans, the Honda CR-V small SUV, the Acura RDX small upscale SUV, and the Honda Ridgeline compact pickup truck. From 2005 to 2008, Acura RL has been ranked #1 and has achieved the best car safety score (46.4) in 's '2003–2009 Vehicle risk index SCOREs'.
For both the 2009 and 2010 model years, the Acura RL received a five-star crash safety ratings from the (NHTSA). For the 2009 model year, the Acura RL received a Top Safety Pick designation from the (IIHS) earning a 'Good' — the highest score possible — on frontal offset, side impact and rear crash protection tests. The 'Good' scores continued for all tests conducted on the 2010 model. When a roof strength (rollover) evaluation was added to the battery of tests, the RL was rated only 'Marginal' in this category, causing it to lose the Top Safety Pick award. The Acura RL consistently garnered National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Five Star (the highest rating) ratings for Frontal, Side and Rollover crash testing. The injury measures on the driver in the front test were some of the lowest ever recorded in a NHTSA test at the time, and were still considered top notch as of 2010. The Acura RL consistently earned a green G for 'Good' (the highest rating) in Frontal Offset and Side Impact tests conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
The facelifted 2009 Acura RL has revised head restraints, thus improving the rear crash protection rating for the 2005–2008 models from Marginal to Good for the 2009, and earning it recognition as an IIHS Top Safety Pick. The Acura RL incorporated most modern, and some unique, safety features including:. Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body structure - ACE features extensive use of high-tensile steel and lightweight aluminum components in a front-mounted polygonal main frame, designed to engage vehicles of differing size and weight in a frontal collision and spread the forces through multiple structural pathways, while preventing or minimizing cabin deformation. The Acura RL was the launch vehicle for the ACE body structure. In 2009, all production Acura vehicles featured the ACE body structure.
