Driving your vehicle
Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) system 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.
LANE KEEPING ASSIST (LKA) SYSTEM

ORJ058197L
WARNING
The 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.
LKA helps prevent the driver from moving out of the lane
unintentionally by assisting
the driver’s steering. However,
the system is just a conven-
ience function and the steer-
ing wheel is not always con-
trolled. While driving, the driv-
er should pay attention to the
steering wheel.
Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) system 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.

Do not disassemble the front
view camera for window tint-
ing or installing any forms of
coatings or accessories.
If you disassemble and
reassemble the camera, take
your vehicle to an authorized
K900 Kia dealer and have the
system checked to see if a
calibration is needed.
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 see if a calibration is need-
ed.
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.
(Continued)(Continued)
When the lane markers arehard to detect, please refer to
“Driver’s Attention”.
Do not remove or damage the related parts of LKA system.
Do not place objects on the dashboard that reflect light
such as mirrors, white paper,
etc. It may cause malfunction
of LKA system if the sunlight
is reflected.
You may not hear the warning sound of LKA system because
of excessive audio sound.
When other beeps such as the seat belt warning sound are in
operation and override LKA
alarming system, LKA beeps
may not occur.
At high vehicle speeds, the steering torque assistance
may not be enough to keep
your vehicle within the lane,
and the vehicle may move out
of its lane. Obey all speed lim-
its 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, the hands off
alarm may not work properly.

LKA system operation
To activate/deactivate the LKA:
With the ignition ON status, press LKA
button located on the instrument panel
on the lower left hand side of the driv-
er. The indicator ( ) in the cluster
display will initially illuminate white.
When the indicator (white) activated in
the previous ignition cycle, the system
turns on without any control.
If you press LKA button again, the indi-
cator on the cluster display will go off.The color of indicator will change
depend on the condition of LKA sys-
tem.
- White : Sensor does not detect the lane marker or vehicle
speed is less than 40
mph (64 km/h).
- Green : Sensor detects the lane
marker and system is able
to control the steering.
LKA system activation
To see LKA system screen on the
LCD display in the cluster, Tab to
the ASSIST mode ( ).
For further details, refer to [menu settings] in chapter 4, [LCD win-
dows].
After LKA system is activated, if both lane markers are detected,
vehicle speed is over 40 mph (64
km/h). and all the activation condi-
tions are satisfied, the indicator will
turn green and the steering wheel
will be controlled.

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
system is not satisfied, the system
will convert to LDW (Lane Departure
Warning) and warn the driver only
when the driver crosses the lane

When the conditions below are met,
LKA system will be enable to assist
steering.
Vehicle speed is above 40 mph (64km/h).
Both lane markers are detected by LKA system.
The vehicle is between the lane markers.
If LKA system can assist steering, a
green LKA system indicator will illu-
minate.
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
LKA is activated, the system will
warn the driver.
WARNING
The warning message may bedelayed according to road
conditions. Therefore, always
have your hands on the steer-

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
