Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)

Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)*

Lane Keeping Assist is designed to detect the lane markers on the road, and in certain circumstances may assist the driver’s steering to potentially help prevent your vehicle departing from its travel lane. When turned on, the Instrument Cluster indicator will initially illuminate white. It will remain white when the vehicle is traveling slower than 40 mph or when LKA does not detect the lane markers. When LKA detects the lane markers and can assist the steering, the LKA icon will illuminate green.

If the LKA detects that you are moving outside of your lane, without using the turn signal, LKA may emit an audible warning and display Lane Departure Warning on the Instrument Cluster or LKA may provide steering inputs, trying to prevent the vehicle from moving outside its lane.

Hands-Off Warning - If the driver takes their hands off the Steering Wheel for several seconds, a warning message will appear on the Instrument Cluster, and if hands on the Steering Wheel is not detected continually, LKA will be turned off with additional emergency warning.

LKA Settings:

  • Press and hold the Lane Driving Assist button to turn LKA on or off, when it is first enabled in the User Settings* in the Instrument Cluster or Vehicle Settings* in the Infotainment System
  • Only adjust settings when the vehicle is at a standstill, gear shift is in Park and the ignition is on or the Power button* is in the on position
  • To access User settings* in the Instrument Cluster - Press the MODE button on the Steering Wheel to toggle to User Settings
  • Press the OK button up/down to toggle to Driver Assistance and then Lane Safety
  • To access Vehicle settings* in the Infotainment System – Press the SETUP key or the onscreen SETUP button. Press VEHICLE to enter Vehicle Settings. Select Driver Assistance, Driving Safety and then Lane Safety

LKA will operate under the following conditions:

  • The vehicle speed exceeds approximately 40 mph
  • LKA recognizes both sides of the lane markers the vehicle is traveling in
  • The vehicle is between the lane markers

When LKA detects the lane markers, both lanes are displayed white.

When LKA does not detect the lane markers, the lanes are displayed gray (right).

When LKA detects the vehicle moving outside of the lane being traveled in, a yellow lane marker will illuminate either on the left or right lane (shown in both images above).

Quick Tips:

  • The Warning Volume can be adjusted in the User Settings in the Instrument Cluster or the Vehicle Settings* on the Infotainment System. Go to Driver Assistance, Warning Method, then Warning Volume.
  • Adjusting the Warning Time and Warning Methods or Volume will adjust settings for the other driver assistance systems

Reminders:

  • LKA will not issue a warning if the turn signals or hazard lights are activated
  • When the ignition is cycled, LKA will return to the previously set state
