LKA (Lane-Keeping Assist)∗∗
: If equipped
While driving on a freeway or motor highway that has lane markers, this
system recognizes the lanes using a camera as a sensor to assist the driver
with staying in the lane. The LKA system has two functions.
■Lane departure warning function
If the system judges that the vehicle may deviate from its lane, it
alerts the driver using rapid beeping, indications on the multi-infor-
mation display, and a sensory warning
* given via the steering wheel.
*: A slight steering torque is applied for a short period of time in the
direction of the center of the lane.
■ Lane keeping assist function
This function will be active when the vehicle-to-vehicle distance
control mode of the cruise control ( →P. 216) is set with vehicle
speed above approx. 45 mph (approx. 72 km/h) and while the lane
departure warning function is active. When the lane keeping assist
function is active, a slight steering torque will be applied, to help the
driver maintain the vehicle inside the lane.
