LANE KEEPING ASSIST SYSTEM (LKAS) (IF EQUIPPED)
05'4
The Lane Keeping Assist System de‐
tects lane markers on the road, and as‐ sists the driver’s steering to help keep
the vehicle between lanes. When the system detects the vehicle
straying from its lane, it alerts the driv‐
er with a visual and audible warning, while applying a slight counter steering
torque, trying to prevent the vehicle
from moving out of its lane.
WARNING
•The steering wheel is not continu‐ously controlled so if the vehiclespeed is very fast when leaving alane the vehicle may not be con‐trolled by the system.
•The operation of the LKAS can beaffected by several factors (in‐cluding environmental conditions).It is the responsibility of the driverto pay attention to the roadwayand to maintain the vehicle in itslane at all times.
•Do not steer the steering wheelsuddenly when the steering wheelis being assisted by the system.

•LKAS prevents the driver frommoving out of the lane uninten‐tionally by assisting the driver'ssteering. However, the drivershould not solely rely on the sys‐tem but always pay attention onthe steering wheel to stay in thelane.
•Always check the road conditionand surroundings and be cautiouswhen the system cancels, doesnot operate or malfunctions.
•Do not place any accessories,stickers or tint the windshield nearthe rearview mirror.
