Driving your vehicle
Lane Following Assist is designed to
center the vehicle in the chosen lane
by using a front view camera on top
of the windshield.
It can only become active in combi-
nation with Smart Cruise Control
and therefore assists the driver in his
task to control the lateral movement
of the vehicle.
* LFA stands for Lane Following
Assist.
LANE FOLLOWING ASSIST (LFA) (IF EQUIPPED)
ODEP059029
WARNING
It is the driver's responsibility
to operate the steering wheel
for safe driving.
Do not turn the steering wheel
hastily if LFA is operating.
LFA assists the steering
wheel control so that the vehi-
cle can stay in the center of
the lane. LFA does not auto-
matically control the steering
wheel at all times, which
means the driver must keep
hands on the wheel at all
times while driving.
When using LFA, always be
aware of surroundings and
road conditions that may
interrupt or stop LFA.
CAUTION
- Do not attach glass tinting,
stickers, accessories to the
windshield where the front
view camera near the indoor
mirror is placed.
- The removal or re-assembly of
the front view camera to
attach tinting, stickers, acces-
sories may require LFA to be
thoroughly inspected and
modified. In such case, have
your vehicle inspected by an
authorized Kia dealer.
- Inspection or modification
may be required when replac-
ing parts related to the wind-
shield or front view camera,
steering. we recommend that
the system be checked by an
authorized Kia dealer.

START/STOP button in the [ON],
select or release the setting from
“User setting Driver Assistance 
Driving Assist Lane Following
Assist”.
Select LFA in the user setting of the
instrument panel.
LFA status is remembered by the
function and therefore does not need
to be enabled again for each new
journey.
(Continued)
- Depending on your surround-
ings and road conditions, LFA
could fail to recognize the
lane and stop working. In turn,
extra caution is required
while driving with LFA on.
- Be sure to check the non-
operating conditions and cau-
tions for the driver before
using LFA.
- Do not place reflective materi-
als such as white paper or
mirror on the crash pad.
Sunlight reflections can cause
a malfunction in LFA.
- Too big sound from the sound
function can interrupt the
alarming sound from LFA.
(Continued)(Continued)
- Keeping your hands off the
wheel while driving will trigger
the hands-off warning and
deactivate the steering-assist
function. Put your hands back
on the wheel, then the steer-
ing-assist system will be re-
activated.
- When driving at a high speed,
the steering assist force can
become weak and the vehicle
can drive out of its lane. Extra
caution is required, and com-
ply with the speed limit.
- Attaching an object to the
steering wheel could deter
steering assistance.
- Attaching an object to the
