Driving and Operating 143
Lane Keep Assist (LKA)
If equipped, LKA may help avoid crashes due
to unintentional lane departures. This
system uses a camera to detect lane
markings. The LKA system can be ready to
assist at speeds between approximately
50 km/h (31 mph) and 180 km/h (112 mph).
LKA may assist by gently turning the
steering wheel if the vehicle approaches a
detected lane marking. It may also provide a
Lane Departure Warning (LDW) alert, if the
vehicle unintentionally crosses a detected
lane marking. The LKA system is not
intended to keep the vehicle centered in the
lane. LKA will not assist or alert if the turn
signal is active in the direction of lane
departure, or if it detects that you are
accelerating, braking, or actively steering.
LKA can be overridden by turning the
steering wheel. If the system detects you
are steering intentionally across a lane
marker, the LDW may not be given. Do not
expect the LDW to occur when you are
intentionally crossing the lane marker.
{
Warning
The LKA system does not continuously
steer the vehicle. It may not keep the
vehicle in the lane or give a Lane
Departure Warning (LDW) alert, even if a
lane marking is detected.
The LKA and LDW systems may not:
.
Provide an alert or enough steering
assist to avoid a lane departure or
crash.
.
Detect lane markings under poor
weather or visibility conditions. This
can occur if the windshield or
headlamps are blocked by dirt, snow,
or ice; if they are not in proper
condition; or if the sun shines directly
into the camera.
.
Detect road edges.
.
Detect lanes on winding or hilly roads.
If LKA only detects lane markings on one
side of the road, it will only assist or
provide an LDW alert when approaching
the lane on the side where it has
detected a lane marking. Even with LKA
and LDW, you must steer the vehicle.

Warning (Continued)
Always keep your attention on the road
and maintain proper vehicle position
within the lane, or vehicle damage,
injury, or death could occur. Always keep
the windshield, headlamps, and camera
sensors clean and in good repair. Do not
use LKA in bad weather conditions or on
roads with unclear lane markings, such as
construction zones.
{
Warning
Using LKA on slippery roads could cause
loss of control of the vehicle and a crash.
Turn the system off.
{
Warning
LKA will not alert the driver if a towed
trailer crosses into an adjacent lane of
travel. Serious injury or property damage
may occur if the trailer moves into
another lane. Always monitor the trailer
position while towing to make sure it is
within the same lane as the tow vehicle.
