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.

• If all the conditions to activate LKAare not satisfied, the system will
convert to the Lane Departure
Warning (LDW) and warn the driv-
er only when the driver crosses the
lane markers. In this scenario,
LDW does not provide any steering
inputs into the vehicle for you.
Accordingly, you must take the
necessary steps to maintain con-
trol of the vehicle and keep it with-
in the lanes.
If the driver takes hands off the steer-
ing wheel for several seconds while
LKA is activated, the system will
warn the driver. If the driver still does not have their
hands on the steering wheel after
several seconds, the system will not
control the steering wheel and warn
the driver only when the driver cross-
es the lane markers.
However, if the driver has their hands
on the steering wheel again, the sys-
tem will start providing steering
inputs.
