Home/2027 Niro Hybrid/Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)
LANE KEEPING ASSIST (LKA)

Lane Keeping Assist is designed to detect the lane markers on the road with a front view camera on the windshield, and may assist the driver’s steering to potentially help keep the vehicle in 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 the system does not detect the lane markers. When the system 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 auditory warning and display Lane Departure Warning on the Instrument Cluster or LKA may provide steering inputs to help prevent the vehicle from moving outside its lane. If LKA detects that the vehicle continues moving outside of the lane, LKA may give an auditory warning and display a Lane Departure Warning on the Instrument Cluster.

When enabled press and hold the Lane Safety button to turn it on or off.

When the front-view camera does not detect the lane traveled in the lanes are not illuminated

When the front-view camera detects the lane traveled in, both lanes are illuminated

When the front-view camera detects the vehicle moving outside of the lane being traveled in, a red indicator will illuminate either on the left or right lane (shown in both images above)
