The Lane Keeping Assist 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 slight counter-
steering torque, trying to prevent the
vehicle from moving out of its lane.
LANE KEEPING ASSIST (LKA) SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
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.
WARNING
The Lane Keeping Assist System
is a supplemental system and is
not a substitute for safe driving
practices. It is the responsibility
of the driver to always pay atten-
tion and drive safely.
OJFHP058305L
WARNING
The operation of the LKA canbe cancelled or not work
properly according to road

OJFHP058308
(Continued)
The system is designed todetect 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”.
Do not remove or damage the related parts of LKA.
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 if the audio vol-
ume is high.
(Continued)(Continued)
If you to drive with your handsoff the steering wheel, the
LKA will stop controlling the
steering wheel after the hands
off alarm. If you drive with
your hands on the steering
wheel again the control will be
activated again.
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.
If you attach objects to the steering wheel, the system
may not assist steering.
If you attach objects to the steering wheel, hands off
alarm may not work properly.

The color of indicator will change
depend on the condition of LKA.
- White : Sensor does not detect the lane marker or vehicle
speed is less than 37 mph
(60 km/h).
- Green : Sensor detects the lane
marker and system is able
to control the steering.LKA activation
To see the LKA screen on the LCD
display in the cluster, Tab to the
ASSIST mode ( ).
For further details, refer to ‘menu settings’ in chapter 4.
After LKA is activated, if both lane markers are detected, vehicle
speed is over 37 mph (60 km/h)
and all the activation conditions are
satisfied, a green steering wheel
indicator will illuminate and the
system will provide steering inputs.WARNING
The Lane Keeping Assist system
is a system to help prevent the
driver from leaving the lane.
However, the driver should not
solely rely on the system but
always check the road condi-
tions when driving.

Driving your vehicle
If the speed of the vehicle is over 37
mph (60 km/h) and the system
detects lane markers, the color
changes from gray to white
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
steering wheel indicator will illumi-
nate.
Warning
If the vehicle leaves a lane, the lane
marker you cross will blink on the
LCD display.
If the vehicle moves out its lane
because steering torque for assis-
tance is not enough, the line indica-
tor will blink.
If all the conditions to activate LKA are not satisfied, the system will
convert to the Lane Departure
Warning (LDW) system and warn
the driver only when the driver
crosses the lane markers. If the driver takes hands off the steer-
