Steering assist
LKA 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 steer- ing assistance 11
.
If the vehicle crosses a marker line, LKA provides a warning in the form of vibrations in the steeringwheel. This occurs even if the steering assistfunction 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 vibration warningor steering assistance, for example, duringdynamic cornering as shown in the illustrationwhere the driver's view of the road and trafficconditions make this possible.
