2021 KIA STINGER warning

5117
Driving your vehicle
If the vehicle moves out its lane
because steering torque for assis-
tance is not enough, the line indi-
cator will blink.
If all the conditions to activate LKA
system are not satisfied, the sys-
tem will convert to Lane Departure
Warning (LDW) system and only
warn the driver when the driver
crosses the lane lines. In this sce-
nario, LDW system does not pro-
vide any steering inputs into the
vehicle for you. Accordingly, you
must take the necessary steps to
maintain control of the vehicle and
keep it within 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.✽ ✽

NOTICE
• Always keep your hands on the
steering wheel while driving.
• If you hold the steering wheel with
a light grip, the system may also
generate the hands off warning.
If the driver still does not have their
hands on the steering wheel after
several seconds, the system will only
warn the driver when the driver
crosses the lane lines. In this sce-
nario, the system 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 within
the lanes.
However, if the driver has their hands
on the steering wheel again, the sys-
tem will again provide steering inputs
if it detects the vehicle leaving the
lane.
