detects lane markers, the color
changes from gray to white. When the conditions below are met,
LKA SYSTEM will be enabled to
assist steering.
Vehicle speed is above 40 mph (64
km/h).

Driving your vehicle
If the vehicle moves out its lanebecause steering torque for assis-
tance is not enough, the line indi-
cator will blink.
If all the conditions to activate LKA SYSTEM are not satisfied, the sys-
tem will convert to LDW system
(Lane Departure Warning) and
only warn the driver when the driv-
er crosses the lane lines. In this
scenario, the LDW system does
not provide any steering inputs into
the vehicle for you. Accordingly,
you must take the necessary steps
to maintain control of the vehicle
and keep it within the lanes.
If the driver takes hands off the steer-
ing wheel for several seconds while
the LKA is activated, the system will
warn the driver.✽ ✽
NOTICE
• Always keep your hands on the
steering wheel while driving.
• If you hold the steering wheel with a light grip, the system may also
generate the generate hands off
warning.
If the driver still does not have their
hands on the steering wheel after
several seconds, the system will only
warn the driver when the driver
crosses the lane lines. In this sce-
nario, the system does not provide
any steering inputs into the vehicle
for you. Accordingly, you must take
the necessary steps to maintain con-
trol of the vehicle and keep it within
the lanes.
However, if the driver has their hands
on the steering wheel again, the sys-
tem will again provide steering inputs
if it detects the vehicle leaving the
lane.

Even though the steering is assist- ed by the system, the driver may
control the steering wheel.
Turn off the system in the following situations.
- In bad weather
- In bad road conditions
- When the steering wheel needsto be controlled by the driver fre-
quently.
The steering wheel may feel heav- ier when the steering wheel is
assisted by the system than when
it is not.✽ ✽
NOTICE
• Even though the steering is assist-
ed by the system, the driver may
control the steering.
• The steering wheel may feel heav- ier when the steering wheel is
assisted by the system than when it
is not.
The system will be cancelled when:
You change lanes with the turn sig-
nal.
- Using the turn signal to change lanes.
- If you change lanes without the turn signal on, the steering wheel
might be controlled.
LKA SYSTEM can transit to steer- ing assist mode when the car is
near to middle of the lane after sys-
tem on or the lane was changed.
LKA SYSTEM can not assist steer-
ing if the vehicle follows lane mark-
er too close continuously before
transition to steering assist mode.
The control of ESC (Electronic Stability Control) or VSM (Vehicle
Stability Management) is activated.
The steering will not be assisted when your drive fast on a sharp
curve.
The steering will not be assisted when vehicle speed is below 40
mph (64 km/h) and over 110 mph

Lane Departure Warning
LDW alerts the driver with a visual
and acoustic warning when the sys-
tem detects the vehicle leaving the
lane. In this mode, the system will not
provide steering inputs. When the
vehicle’s front wheel contacts the
inside edge of lane line, LKA SYS-
TEM issues the lane departure warn-
ing.
Standard. Lane Keeping Assist
The Standard LKA mode guides the
driver to keep the vehicle within the
lanes. It provides inputs to the steer-
ing, when the vehicle is about to
deviate from the lanes.
Active Lane Keep. Assist
The active LKA mode provides more
frequent inputs to the steering in
comparison with the Standard LKA
mode.
