when assisting.
This light is amber and flashes as a
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
alert, to indicate that the lane
marking has been crossed. LKA will not assist or alert if the turn
signal is active in the direction of the
lane departure, or if LKA detects
that you are accelerating, braking,
or actively steering.

display green when a vehicle is
detected ahead and amber when
