Steering assistLKA attempts to keep the vehicle within the lane's side marker lines.
LKA provides steering assistance
If the vehicle approaches one of the lane's side marker lines and the turn signals are
not being used , LKA will attempt to steer the
vehicle back into the lane.
Vibration warnings
LKA provides vibrations in the steering wheel and steering assistance 11
.
If the vehicle crosses a marker line, LKA pro- vides a warning in the form of vibrations inthe steering wheel. This occurs even if thesteering assist function has been deactivated.
Dynamic cornering
LKA does not intervene in sharp left curves
In certain cases, LKA allows the vehicle to cross marker lines without providing a vibra-tion warning or steering assistance, for exam-ple, during dynamic cornering as shown inthe illustration where the driver's view of theroad and traffic conditions make this possi-ble.
