Driving your vehicle
The Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) sys-
tem helps detect lane markers on the
road with a front view camera at the
front windshield, and assists the dri-
ver's steering to help keep the vehi-
cle 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 counter-steer-
ing torque, to try to prevent the vehi-
cle from moving out of its lane.

The Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)
system is not a substitute for
safe driving practices, but a
convenience function only. It is
the responsibility of the driver
to always be aware of the sur-
rounding and steer the vehicle.
WARNING
Take the following precautions
when using the Lane Keeping
Assist (LKA) system:
Do not steer the steering
wheel suddenly when the
steering wheel is being assist-
ed by the system.
LKA system helps to prevent
the driver from moving out of
the lane unintentionally by
assisting the driver's steering.
However, the driver should not
solely rely on the system but
always pay attention on the
steering wheel to stay in the
lane.
WARNING
The operation of the LKA sys-
tem can be canceled or not
work properly according to
road condition and surround-
ings. Always be cautious
when driving.
Do not disassemble the LKA
system camera temporarily to
tint the window or attach any
types of coatings and acces-
sories. If you disassemble the
camera and assemble it again,
take your vehicle to an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer and
have the system checked for
calibration.
When you replace the wind-
shield glass, LKA system
camera or related parts of the
steering wheel, take your
vehicle to an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer and have the
system checked for calibra-
tion.

LKA System Operation
With the POWER button in the ON
position, press the LKA button locat-
ed on the instrument panel on the
lower left hand side of the driver.
The indicator ( ) in the clusterdisplay will initially illuminate white.
When the indicator(white) activat- ed in the previous ignition cycle,
the system turns on without any
control.
If you press the LKA button again, the indicator on the cluster display
will go off.
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.
When you tow a trailer, make
sure that you turn off the LKA
system.
The system detects lane lines
and controls the steering
wheel by a camera, therefore,
if the lane lines 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.
Always have your hands on the
steering wheel while the LKA
system is activated. Also, when
Active LKA is selected from the
OFE058189N

The Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)
is a system to help prevent the
driver from leaving the lane.
However, the driver should not
solely rely on the system but
always check the road condi-
tions when driving.
WARNING

5-82
Driving your vehicle
If vehicle speed is over 40 mph (64 km/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
marker in the cluster LCD display
will blink depending on which
direction the vehicle is veering.
Also, a warning 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 (64 km/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.
