The Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) system is designed to detect the lane markers on the road with a front view camera at the front windshield, and assists the driver's steering to help keep the vehicle in the lanes.

When the system detects the vehicle straying from its lane, it alerts the driver with a visual and audible warning, while applying a slight countersteering torque, trying to prevent the vehicle from moving out of its lane.

WARNING

Do not turn the steering wheel suddenly when the vehicle is being directed by the LKA system. This can result in a sudden loss of control and crash of the vehicle.

WARNING

The Lane Keeping Assist system is a supplemental system and is not a substitute for safe driving practices. It is the responsibility of the driver to always pay attention and drive safely.

✽ NOTICE

Driver is responsible for being aware of surroundings and steering the vehicle, and safe driving practices.

• Do not disassemble the front view camera temporarily for tinted windows or attaching any types of coatings and accessories. If you disassemble the camera and assemble it again, take your vehicle to an authorized Kia dealer and have the system checked.
• When you replace the windshield glass, front view camera or system, take your vehicle to an authorized Kia dealer and have the system checked.
• The system is designed to detect lane markers using a front view camera. If the lane markers are hard to detect, then the system may be limited. Always be cautious when using the system.
• When the lane markers are hard to detect, please refer to “Driver’s Attention”.
• Do not remove or damage the related parts of LKA system.
• Do not place objects on the dashboard that reflect light such as mirrors, white paper, etc. This may prevent the system from functioning.
• You may not hear warning sound of LKA system because of excessive audio sound.
• If you drive with your hands off the steering wheel, the LKA system will stop controlling the steering wheel after the hands off alarm. Afterwards, if you drive with your hands on the steering wheel, the control will be activated again.

✽ NOTICE

• If the vehicle speed is high, steering torque for assistance will not be enough to keep your vehicle within the lane. If so, the vehicle may move out of its lane. Obey speed limit when using LKA system.
• If you attach objects to the steering wheel, the system may not assist steering.
• If you attach objects to the steering wheel, hands off alarm may not work properly.
