Radio Frequency Information
SeeRadio Frequency Statement 0335.
Lane Keep Assist (LKA)
If equipped, LKA may help avoid crashes due
to unintentional lane departures. This
system uses a camera to detect lane
markings. The LKA may be ready to assist at
speeds between 50 km/h (31 mph) and 180
km/h (112 mph). LKA may assist by gently
turning the steering wheel if the vehicle
approaches a detected lane marking. It may
also provide a Lane Departure Warning
(LDW) alert if the vehicle crosses a detected
lane marking. This system is not intended to
keep the vehicle centered in the lane. LKA
will not assist and alert if the turn signal is
active in the direction of lane departure,
or if it detects that you are accelerating,
braking or actively steering. LKA can be overridden by turning the steering wheel.
If the system detects you are steering
intentionally across a lane marker, the LDW
will not be given. Do not expect the LDW to
occur when you are intentionally crossing a
lane marker.
{Warning
The LKA system does not continuously
steer the vehicle. It may not keep the
vehicle in the lane or give a Lane
Departure Warning (LDW) alert, even if a
lane marking is detected.
The LKA and LDW systems may not:
.Provide an alert or enough steering
assist to avoid a lane departure or
crash.
.Detect lane markings under poor
weather or visibility conditions. This
can occur if the windshield or
headlamps are blocked by dirt, snow,
or ice; if they are not in proper
condition; or if the sun shines directly
into the camera.
.Detect road edges.
.Detect lanes on winding or hilly roads.
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
If LKA only detects lane markings on one
side of the road, it will only assist or
provide an LDW alert when approaching
the lane on the side where it has
detected a lane marking. Even with LKA
and LDW, you must steer the vehicle.
Always keep your attention on the road
and maintain proper vehicle position
within the lane, or vehicle damage,
injury, or death could occur. Always keep
the windshield, headlamps, and camera
sensors clean and in good repair. Do not
use LKA in bad weather conditions or on
roads with unclear lane markings, such as
construction zones.
{Warning
Using LKA on slippery roads could cause
loss of control of the vehicle and a crash.
Turn the system off.
