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 audible warn-
ing, while applying a slight counter-
steering torque, trying to prevent the
vehicle from moving out of its lane.• The steering wheel is not continu-
ously controlled so if the vehicle
speed is very fast when leaving a
lane the vehicle may not be con-
trolled by the system.
• It is the responsibility of the driver
to drive safely.
• Do not steer the steering wheel
suddenly when the steering wheel
is being assisted by the system.
• LKAS prevents the driver from
moving out of the lane unintention-
ally by assisting the driver's steer-
ing. However, the driver should not
solely rely on the system but
always pay attention on the steer-
ing wheel to stay in the lane.
• Always check the road condition
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.

vers while the LKAS is activated.
If the vehicle is driven at high
speeds, the LKAS may not
adjust the steering wheel. It is
the driver's responsibility to
always pay attention to the road
