LKA System Operation
To activate/deactivate the LKA sys-
tem:
With the ignition switch in the ON
position, press the LKA system
switch located on the instrument
panel on the left hand side of the
steering wheel. The indicator in the
cluster display will initially illuminate
white. This indicates the LKA system
is in the READY but NOT ENABLED
state.
If you press the LKA button again,
the indicator on the switch and clus-
ter display will go off.
Always have your hands on the
steering wheel while the LKA
system is activated. Also, when
Active LKA is selected from the
User Settings mode and if you
continue to drive with your
hands off the steering wheel
after the "Keep hands on steer-
ing wheel" warning message
appears, the system will stop
controlling the steering wheel.
However, if the driver has their
hands on the steering wheel
again, the system will start con-
trolling the steering wheel.
The steering wheel is not con-
tinuously controlled so if the
vehicle speed is at a higher
speed when leaving a lane the
vehicle may not be able to be
controlled by the system. The
driver must always follow the
speed limit when using the
system.
If you attach objects to the
steering wheel, the system
may not assist steering or the
hands off alarm may not work
properly. When you tow a trail-
er, make sure that you turn off
the LKA system.
The system helps detect lane
markers and controls the
steering wheel by a camera,
therefore, if the lane markers
are hard to detect, the system
may not work properly.
Please refer to "Limitations of
the system".
Do not remove or damage the
related parts of LKA system.
You may not hear a warning
sound of LKA system because
of excessive audio sound.
If any other warning sound
such as seat belt warning
chime is already generated,
the Lane Keeping Assist
(LKA) system warning may
not sound.
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.

If vehicle speed is over 40 mph (64km/h) and the system detects lane
markers, the color changes from
gray to white.
Both lane markers must be detect- ed for the system to fully activate. If your vehicle departs from the
projected lane in front of you, the
LKA system operates as follows:
1.A visual warning appears on the cluster LCD display. Either the left
lane marker or the right lane mark-
er in the cluster LCD display will
blink depending on which direction
the vehicle is veering. Also, a warn-
ing sound will be heard. 2.The LKA system will control the
vehicle's steering to prevent the
vehicle from crossing the lane
maker in below conditions.
- Vehicle speed is over 40 mph (64km/h)
- The system detects both lane markers
- When driving, the vehicle is located between both lanes nor-
mally.
- The steering wheel is not turned suddenly.
When lanes are detected and all the
conditions to activate the LKA sys-
tem are satisfied, a LKA system indi-
cator light will change from white to
green. This indicates that the LKA
system is in the ENABLED state and
the steering wheel will be able to be
controlled.

Warning Light and Message
Keep hands on steering wheel
If the driver takes their hands off the
steering wheel for several seconds
while the LKA system is activated,
the system will warn the driver.
Information
If the steering wheel is held very light-
ly, the message may still appear
because the LKA system may not rec-
ognize that the driver has their hands
on the wheel.
Driver's grasp not detected.LKA system will be disabledtemporarily
If the driver still does not have their
hands on the steering wheel after the
message "Keep hands on steering
wheel", the system will not control
the steering wheel and warn the driv-
er only when the driver crosses the
lane markers.
However, if the driver has their hands
on the steering wheel again, the sys-
tem will start controlling the steering
wheel.
This warning message is available
when Active LKA is selected from the
User Settings mode.
i
The warning message may
appear late according to road
conditions. Therefore, always
have your hands on the steering
wheel while driving.

maturely even if the vehicle does not
depart from the intended lane, OR,
the LKA system may not warn you if
the vehicle leaves the intended lane
under the following circumstances:
When the lane and road condi-
tions are poor
It is difficult to distinguish the lane marker from the road because the
lane marker is covered with dust or
sand.
It is difficult to distinguish the color of the lane marker from the road.
There are markings on the road surface that look like a lane marker
that is inadvertently being detected

There are more than two lanemarkers on the road in front of you.
The lane marker is very thick or thin.
The lane is very wide or narrow.
The lane marker ahead is not visi- ble due to rain, snow, water on the
road, damaged or stained road
surface, or other factors.
The shadow is on the lane marker by a median strip, trees, guardrail,
noise barriers, etc.
The lane markers are complicated or a structure substitutes for the
lines such as a construction area.
There are crosswalk signs or other symbols on the road.
The lane marker in a tunnel is stained with oil, etc.
The lane suddenly disappears such as at the intersection. When external condition is inter-
vened
The brightness outside changes
suddenly such as when entering or
exiting a tunnel, or when passing
under a bridge.
The brightness outside is too low such as when the headlamps are
not on at night or the vehicle is
going through a tunnel.
There is a boundary structure in the roadway such as a concrete
barrier, guardrail and reflector post
that is inadvertently being detected
by the camera.
When light coming from a street light or an oncoming vehicle is
reflected on a wet road surface
such as a puddle in the road.
The field of view in front is obstructed by sun glare.
There is not enough distance between you and the vehicle in
front to be able to detect the lane
marker or the vehicle ahead is driv-
ing on the lane marker. Driving on a steep grade, over a
hill, or when driving on a curved
road.
The adverse road conditions cause excessive vehicle vibrations while
driving.
The surrounding of the inside rear view mirror temperature is high
due to direct sunlight, etc.

LKA System Function Change
The driver can change LKA to Lane
Departure Warning from the LCD
display. Go to the 'User Settings →
Driver Assistance → Lane Safety →
Active LKA/Lane Keeping Assist
/Lane Departure Warning/Off'.
Active LKA
The Active LKA mode provides more
frequent steering wheel control in
comparison with the Standard LKA
mode. Active LKA can reduce the dri-
ver's fatigue to assist the steering for
maintaining the vehicle in the middle
of the lane.
Standard LKA
This mode guides the driver to help
keep the vehicle within the lanes. It
rarely controls the steering wheel,
when the vehicle drives well inside
the lanes. However, it starts to con-
trol the steering wheel, when the
vehicle is about to deviate out of the
lane.
Lane Departure Warning
LDW system alerts the driver with a
visual warning and a warning alarm
when the system detects the vehicle
departing the lane. The steering
wheel will not be controlled.
Off
If you select "Off", the LKA system is
deactivated.
The Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)
system is a system to help pre-
vent the driver from leaving the
lane. However, the driver should
not solely rely on the system
but always take the necessary
actions for safe driving prac-
tices.
