light and neglect to see the
surrounding of the vehicle.

vehicle is equipped with a
Blind-spot Collision Warning

driving.

The driver can change LKA to the
Lane Departure Warning (LDW) sys-
tem or change the LKA system mode
between Standard LKA and Active
LKA from the LCD display. Go to the
"User Settings → Driver Assistance
→ LKA (Lane Keeping Assist) →
LDW (Lane Departure Warning)/
Standard LKA/Active LKA".
The system is automatically set to
Standard LKA if a function is not
selected.
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.
Standard LKA
The Standard LKA mode guides the
driver to help keep the vehicle within
the lanes. It rarely controls the steer-
ing wheel, when the vehicle drives
well inside the lanes. However, it
starts to control the steering wheel,
when the vehicle is about to deviate
out of the lane.
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.
