2020 KIA FORTE warning

5129
Driving your vehicle
If the driver takes hands off the steer-
ing wheel for several seconds while
the LKA is activated, the system will
warn the driver.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 cross-
es the lane lines. In this scenario, the
system does not provide any steering
inputs to the vehicle for you.
Accordingly, you must take the neces-
sary steps to maintain control of the
vehicle and keep it within the lanes.
However, once the driver has their
hands on the steering wheel again,
the system will again provide steer-
ing inputs if it detects the vehicle
leaving the lane.
WARNING
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 hands
off warning because LKA can
treat the situation as you not
grabbing the wheel.

ing wheel.

Driving your vehicle
When there is a problem with the sys-
tem, do one of the following:
Turn the system on after turningthe engine off and on again.
Check if the ignition switch is in the ON position.
Check if the system is affected by the weather. (ex: fog, heavy rain,
etc.)
Check if there is foreign matter on the camera lens
If the problem is not solved, take your
vehicle to an authorized Kia dealer
and have the system checked.LKA function change
The driver can change LKA to Lane
Departure Warning (LDW) system or
change the LKA mode between
Standard LKA and Active LKA from
the User Settings Mode on the LCD
display. The driver can choose the mode by
placing the ignition switch to the ON
position and by selecting ‘User
Settings’, ‘Driver Assistance’, and
‘Lane Safety’.
The system is automatically set to
Standard LKA when your vehicle is
first delivered from the factory.
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 the lane, LKA issues
the lane departure warning.
Standard LKA
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 devi-
ate from the lanes.
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 by assisting the steering
to help maintain the vehicle in the
middle of the lane.
