Driving your vehicle
Limitation of the system
If the driver turns on the turn signallight or the emergency warning
light to change the lane
Operate the turn signal light switch before changing the lane.
If you change the lane without operating the turn signal lights,
steering reaction force of the wheel
may occur.
Once the LFA system is turned on or the lane is changed, the vehicle
should be in the center of the road
to switch to the steering assist
mode. If the driver keeps driving
along the lane, the LFA system will
not assist the steering.
When the ESC or VSM is activat- ed, the system does not assist
steering.
When driving on a curved road at a high speed, steering assist mode
may not work.
When driving at a speed faster than 95 mph (150 km/h), steering
assist mode may not work. When sudden steering is made,
the system could be temporarily
deactivated.
If you change the lane in a hurry, the system does not assist the
steering.
If the vehicle suddenly stops, it does not assist the steering.
If the lane is too narrow or too wide, steering is not assisted.
If either of the lanes is not recog- nized, the steering is not assisted
If the radius is too small for the curve
Cautions for the driver
If the lane recognition is difficult or
limited for the LFA system as shown
below, the driver may need to be
careful because it may not operate or
may cause unnecessary operation.
• Roads or lane markings in bad con-
dition
- When The lane is tainted or invisible
- When the driver cannot see the lane due to rain, snow, dust,
sand, oil, puddles, etc
- When roads are set or the colors of the lane and road are not dis-
tinctive
- If there is a sign other than the lane near the lane or a mark sim-
ilar to the lane
- When the lane is not clear or damaged
- If the road is covered in the shad- ows of objects around the road,
such as medians, guard rails,
noise walls, and trees

Driving your vehicle
The Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) sys-
tem is designed to detect the lane
markers on the road with a front view
camera at the front windshield, and
assists the driver’s steering to help
keep the vehicle in the 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, trying to prevent the vehi-
cle from moving out of its lane.

WARNING
Driver is responsible for being
aware of surroundings and
steering the vehicle for safe
driving practices.
Do not turn the steering wheel suddenly when the steering
wheel is being assisted by the
system.
The LKA system is a supple- mental system and is not a
substitute for safe driving
practices. It is the responsibil-
ity of the driver to always pay
attention and drive safely.
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 a front view camera temporarily for
tinted window or attaching
any types of coatings and
accesorsories.

If you disassemble the cam-
era and assemble it again,
take your vehicle to an author-
ized K900 Kia dealer and have
the system checked to need a
calibration.
When you replace the wind- shield glass, front view cam-
era or related parts of the
steering, take your vehicle to
an authorized K900 Kia dealer
and have the system checked
to need a calibration.
The system is designed to detect lane markers using a
front view camera. If the lane
markers are hard to detect,
then the system may be limit-
ed. Always be cautious when
using the system.
When the lane markers are hard to detect, please refer to
“Driver’s Attention”.
(Continued)(Continued)
Do not remove or damage therelated parts of LKA system.
Do not place objects on the dashboard that reflects light
such as mirrors, white paper,
etc. This may prevent the LKA
system from functioning
properly.
You may not hear warning sound of LKA system because
of the excessive audio sound.
When other beeps such as the seat belt warning sound are in
operation and override the
LKA alarming system, LKA
beeps may not occur.
If the vehicle speed is high, steering torque for assistance
will not be enough to keep
your vehicle within the lane. If
so, the vehicle may move out
of its lane. Obey speed limit
when using LKA system.
(Continued)(Continued)
If you attach objects to thesteering wheel, the system
may not assist steering.
If you attach objects to the steering wheel, hands off
alarm may not work properly.

If the speed of the vehicle is over 40
mph (64 km/h). and the system
detects lane markers, the color
changes from gray to white.
Warning
If the vehicle leaves a lane or road
edge, the lane marker you cross will
blink on the LCD display and the
warning sound is provided.
❈ Haptic specification
If the vehicle leaves a lane, the lane
marker you cross will blink on the
LCD display with steering wheel
vibration warning.
If all the conditions to activate LKA is
not satisfied, the system will convert
to LAW (Lane Departure Warning)
and warm the driver only when the
driver crosses the lane lines.

Driving your vehicle
When the conditions below are met,
LKA will be enable to assist steering.
Vehicle speed is above 40 mph (64km/h).
Both lane markers are detected by LKA.
The vehicle is between the lane markers.
If LKA can assist steering, a green
LKA indicator will illuminate.
If the vehicle moves out its lane
because steering torque for assis-
tance is not enough, the line indica-
tor of deviation direction will blink
and the warning sound or steering
wheel vibration warning is provided.
If the driver takes hands off the steer-
ing wheel for several seconds while
the LKA is activated, the system will
warn the driver.
WARNING
The warning message mayappear late according to road
conditions. Therefore, always
have your hands on the steer-
ing wheel while driving.
If you hold the steering wheel lightly, the system would gen-
erate hands off warning
because LKA system can
treat the situation as you do
not grab the wheel.

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 canceled when:
You change lanes with the turn sig-
nal.
- Using the turn signal to changelanes.
- If you change lanes without the turn signal on, the steering wheel
might be controlled.
LKA system can transit to steering assist mode when the car is near
to middle of the lane after system
on or the lane was changed. LKA
system can not assist steering if
the vehicle follows lane marker too
close continuously before transi-
tion 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.
WARNING
The LKA system is a supple-mental system only. It is the
responsibility of the driver to
safely steer the vehicle and to
maintain it in its lane.
Even though the steering is assisted by the system, the
driver may control the steer-
ing wheel.
Turn off the LKA system and drive without using the sys-
tem in the following situa-
tions:
- In bad weather
- In bad road condition
- When the steering wheelneeds to be controlled by the
driver frequently.
- When towing a vehicle or trailer.
The steering wheel may feel heavier when the steering
wheel is assisted by the sys-
tem than when it is not.

LKA system fail indicator
The LKA system fail indicator (yel-
low) will illuminate if the LKA system
is not working properly. In this case,
have the system checked by an
authorized K900 Kia dealer.
LKA system function change
The driver can change LKA to Lane
Departure Warning (LDW) or change
the LKA mode from the AVN.
Lane Keeping Assist
The LKA mode guides the driver to
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 from the
lanes.
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 issues
the lane departure warning.
