Lane Keeping Assist
LKA mode guides the driver to keep
the vehicle within the lanes. It rarely
controls the steering wheel, when
the vehicle drives well inside the
lanes. However, it starts to control
the steering wheel, when the vehicle
is about to deviate from the lanes.

LDW warns the driver with a visual
and acoustic warning when the func-
tion detects the vehicle leaving the
lane. In this mode, the steering wheel
will not be controlled. When the vehi-
cle’s front wheel contacts the inside
edge of lane line, the contacted line
will be displayed on the LCD display.

both lanes recognized by the func-
tion, and there is no steep steering
made by the driver, LFA changes into
steering assist mode. The indicator
light will come on green, and the
function helps the vehicle stay in line
by controlling the steering wheel.

trolled temporarily, the indicator light
will flash green and changes to
white.

nized by the function, the function
controls the steering wheel limitedly
whether there is a vehicle in front or
not.
