Lane Keeping Aid (LKA)*
Lane Keeping Aid is one of the functions in
the Driver Alert System - sometimes also
referred to as LKA (Lane Keeping Aid).
The function is intended for use on motor-
ways and similar major roads in order to
reduce the risk of the vehicle accidentally
leaving its own lane in certain situations.
Lane Departure Warning LDW or LKA
Volvo has developed two different systems
for lane keeping assistance:
•
LDW -
Lane Departure Warning which
only warns the driver.
•
LKA -
Lane Keeping Aid
(Lane Keeping Aid) which, in addition to
warning the driver, also actively steers the
car.
A Volvo S60 can be supplied with both vari-
ants - market and engine alternatives deter-
mine which of the systems the car is equip-
ped with.
In the event of uncertainty whether the car
has LDW or LKA:
•
Open the menu system MY CAR and
locate
Settings Driver support
system
- which specifies Lane
Departure Warning
whether the car has
LDW or Lane Keeping Aid for LKA.
Principle for LKA
(The figure is schematic - not model specific.)
A camera detects the painted the side lines of
the road/lane. If the car is about to cross a
side line, the Lane Keeping Aid will actively
steer the car back into the lane with a slight
steering torque in the steering wheel.
If the car reaches or crosses a side line, the
Lane Keeping Aid will also alert the driver with
pulsating vibration in the steering wheel.
WARNING
LKA is merely a driver's aid and does not
engage in all driving situations or traffic,
weather or road conditions.
The driver always bears ultimate responsi-
bility for ensuring that the vehicle is driven
safely and that applicable laws and road
traffic regulations are followed.
