LKA (Lane-Keeping Assist) (if equipped)
Lane departure warning function
If the system judges that the vehicle may deviate from its lane, it alerts the driver using
beeping, screen displays 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 thecenter of the lane.
Lane keeping assist function
• This function will be active when the vehicl e-to-vehicle distance control mode of the
cruise control is set with vehicle speed above approximately 45 mph (72 km/h) and
while the lane departure wa rning function is active.
• When the lane keeping assist function is acti ve, a slight steering torque will be applied,
to help the driver maintain the vehicle inside the lane.

the system recognizes the lanes using a came ra located above the inside rear view mir-
ror as a sensor to assist the driver with st aying in the lane. The LKA system has two func-
tions.
