Kia Stinger CK: Driving your vehicle / Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) system
Contents:


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.

Blade inspection
Commercial hot waxes applied by automatic car washes have been known to make
the windshield difficult to clean.
Contamination of either the windshield or the wiper blades with foreign matter
can reduce the effectiveness of the windshield wipers. Common sources of contamination
are insects, tree sap, and hot wax treatments used by some commercial car washes.
