Driving and Operating] 233
vehicle is in a forward gear, the left or right
side mirror display will light up if a moving
vehicle is detected in the next lane over in
that blind zone or rapidly approaching that
zone. If the turn signal is activated in the
same direction as a detected vehicle, this
display will flash as an extra warning not to
change lanes.
LCA can be disabled through vehicle settings.
When you disable LCA, Side Blind Zone Alert
is also disabled. To view available settings
from the infotainment screen, touch Settings
> Vehicle > Collision/Detection Systems.
If LCA is disabled by the driver, the LCA
mirror displays will not light up.
When the System Does Not Seem to
Work Properly
The LCA system requires some driving for
the system to calibrate to maximum
performance. This calibration may occur
more quickly if the vehicle is driven on a
straight highway road with traffic and
roadside objects (e.g., guardrails, barriers).
LCA displays may not come on when
passing a vehicle quickly, for a stopped
vehicle, or when towing a trailer. The LCA
detection zones that extend back from the
side of the vehicle do not move further back
when a trailer is towed. Use caution while
changing lanes when towing a trailer. LCA
may alert to objects attached to the vehicle,
such as a trailer, bicycle, or object extending
out to either side of the vehicle. Attached
objects may also interfere with the
detection of vehicles. This is normal system
operation; the vehicle does not need service.
LCA may not always alert the driver to
vehicles in the next lane over, especially in
wet conditions or when driving on sharp
curves. The system does not need to be
serviced. The system may light up due to
guardrails, signs, trees, shrubs, and other
non-moving objects. This is normal system
operation; the vehicle does not need service.
LCA may not operate when the LCA sensors
in the left or right corners of the rear
bumper are covered with mud, dirt, snow,
ice, or slush, or in heavy rainstorms. For
cleaning instructions, see "Washing the
Vehicle" under Exterior Care 0 302. If the
DIC still displays the system unavailable
message after cleaning both sides of the
vehicle toward the rear corners of the
vehicle, see your dealer.
If the LCA displays do not light up when
moving vehicles are in the blind zone or are
rapidly approaching that zone and the
system is clean, the system may need
service. Take the vehicle to your dealer.
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 can be ready to assist at
speeds between 60 km/h (37 mph) and
180 km/h (112 mph). On some vehicles, the
system will instead operate above 50 km/h
(31 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 crosses a detected lane marking. This
system is not intended to keep the vehicle
centered in the lane. LKA will not assist and
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 a lane marker.
