Driving your vehicle
The Lane Keeping Assist System
detects lane markers on the road,
and assists the driver’s steering to
help keep the vehicle between lanes.When the system detects the vehicle
straying from its lane, it alerts the
driver with a visual and steering
wheel vibration warning, while apply-
ing a slight counter-steering torque,
trying to prevent the vehicle from
moving out of its lane.
LANE KEEPING ASSIST SYSTEM (LKAS) (IF EQUIPPED)
ODH053029
ODH053161L
Take the following precautions
when using the Lane Keeping
Assist System (LKAS):
•The steering wheel is not con-
tinuously controlled so if the
vehicle speed is at a higher
rate when leaving a lane the
vehicle may not be controlled
by the system.
•Do not steer the steering
wheel suddenly when the
steering wheel is being assist-
ed by the system.
•LKAS prevents the driver
from moving out of the lane
unintentionally by assisting
the driver's steering. However,
the driver should not solely
rely on the system but always
pay attention on the steering
wheel to stay in the lane.

WARNING
The Lane Keeping Assist System
is not a substitute for safe driving
practices, but a convenience
function only. It is the responsi-
bility of the driver to always be
aware of the surrounding and
steer the vehicle.

LKAS operation
To operate:
Press the LKAS button with the
Engine Start/Stop button in the ON
position. The indicator (white) illumi-
nates on the cluster.
To cancel:
Press the LKAS button again. The
indicator on the cluster will go off. (Continued)
•Always check the road condi-
tion and surroundings and be
cautious when the system
cancels, does not operate or
malfunctions.
•Do not place any accessories,
stickers or tint the windshield
near the rearview mirror.
•The system detects lane lines
and controls the steering
wheel by a camera, therefore,
if the lane lines are hard to
detect, the system may not
work properly.
Please refer to "Driver's
Attention".
•Do not remove the LKAS parts
and do not damage the sen-
sor.
•Do not place objects on the
dashboard that reflects light
such as mirrors, white paper,
etc. The system may malfunc-
tion if the sunlight is reflected.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•The operation of the LKAS
can be affected by several fac-
tors (including environmental
conditions). It is the responsi-
bility of the driver to pay
attention to the roadway and
to maintain the vehicle in its
lane at all times.
•Always have your hands on
the steering wheel while the
LKAS system is activated. If
you continue to drive with
your hands off the steering
wheel after the "Keep hands
on steering wheel" warning
illumination, the system will
turn off automatically.
•Always be cautious when
using the system.

LKAS activation
• The LKAS screen will appear on
the LCD display if the system is
activated.
• When both lane lines are detected
and all the conditions to activate
the LKAS are satisfied (green
steering wheel indicator will illumi-
nate and the LKAS indicator light
will change from white to green),
the steering wheel will be con-
trolled.If the system detects a lane line, the
color changes from gray to white. The Lane Keeping Assist System
is a system to prevent the driver
from leaving the lane. However,
the driver should not solely rely
on the system but always check
the road conditions when driving.

Lane Departure Warning System
(LDWS)
LDWS alerts the driver with a visual
warning and steering wheel vibration
warning when the system detects the
vehicle departing the lane. The steer-
ing wheel will not be controlled.
Pre-Departure Control
LKAS assists the driver by control-
ling the steering wheel before lane
departure. When the vehicle is near
the edge of the lane, LKAS starts
controlling the steering wheel to
assist the driver to stay in the lane.
Post-Departure Control
LKAS assists the driver by control-
ling the steering wheel when lane
departure has started. When the
vehicle's front wheel contacts the
inside edge of lane line, LKAS starts
controlling the steering wheel to
assist the driver to stay in the lane.
