START/STOP button in the [ON],
select or release the setting from
“User setting → Driver Assistance →
Driving Assist →Lane Following
Assist”.
Select LFA system in the user setting
of the instrument panel.
The LFA system status is remem-
bered by the system and therefore

- Depending on your surround- ings and road conditions, LFAsystem could fail to recognizethe lane and stop working. Inturn, extra caution is requiredwhile driving with LFA systemon.
- Be sure to check the non- operating conditions and cau-tions for the driver beforeusing LFA system.
- Do not place reflective materi- als such as white paper ormirror on the crash pad.Sunlight reflections can causea malfunction in LFA system.
- Too big sound from the sound system can interrupt thealarming sound from LFA sys-tem.

LFA system activation
If the vehicle is inside the lane with
both lanes recognized by the sys-
tem, and there is no steep steering
made by the driver, LFA system
changes into steering assist mode.
The indicator light will come on
green, and the system helps the
vehicle stay in line by controlling the
steering wheel.
When the steering wheel is not con-
trolled temporarily, the indicator light
will flash green and changes to
white.
When the both lanes are not recog-
nized by the system, the system con-
trols the steering wheel limitedly
whether there is a vehicle in front or
not.
Warning
If you keep your hands off the wheel
while driving with LFA system assist-
ing the steering, the hands-off warn-
ing will be triggered.
If the driver keeps hands off the
wheel even with the hands-off warn-
ing on, the steering assist is tem-
porarily released automatically.
If you put your hands back on the
wheel with LFA system released, the
steering assist will re-start.
WARNING
LFA system ensures the vehicle
stays in its lane. LFA system
does not guarantee 100% safe-
ty. Make sure you always check
road conditions and drive safe-
ly at all times.
Never completely rely on your
LFA system.

LFA system malfunction
The warning message popped up
(turned off after a certain period of
time)means a problem with LFA sys-
tem. If this occurs, we recommend
that the system be checked by an
authorized Kia dealer.
CAUTION
Hands-off warnings may be
delayed depending on roadconditions. Always keep yourhands on the steering wheelwhile driving.
Hold the steering wheel tight. Otherwise, LFA system couldmisjudge that the driverhands off the wheel, and ahands-off warning may occur.
CAUTION
It is the driver’s responsibility to operate the steering wheelwhile driving.
With LFA system on, the driv- er can steer the vehicle byoperating the wheel on hisown.
We recommend that the driver turns off LFA system andoperates the steering wheelby himself in the followingcases
- bad weather- bad road conditions- when frequent operation of the steering wheel is required
- when towing other vehicle or trailers
The steering wheel can feel heavy or light if LFA system isassisting the steering.

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 lightswitch before changing the lane
- If you change the lane without operating the turn signal lights,
steering reaction force of the
wheel may occur.
Once 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, 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 110 mph (180 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 the system is not able to recog- nize a vehicle in front and either of
the lanes is not recognized, 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 Driving to the left or right lane by bus lane or on the bus lane
- If there is no enough distance between the front car or if the lane

ous curve
- When passing through speed bump, sudden up / down or left /
right slope
- If the vehicle is severely shaken
- When the temperature around the mirror is very high due to direct sun-
light • When the front camera has poor vis-
