LANE KEEPING ASSIST (LKA)*

Lane Keeping Assist is designed to detect the lane markers on the road and in certain circumstances may assist with steering to help prevent the vehicle from departing the lane. When turned on, the Instrument Cluster indicator will initially illuminate gray. It will remain gray 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 Lane Safety icon will illuminate green.

If the LKA detects that you are moving outside of your lane without using the turn signal, LKA may give an audible warning and steering wheel vibration, and display Lane Departure Warning on the Instrument Cluster. 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.
