Lane Keeping Aid

Lane Keeping Aid (LKA1) is designed to actively steer the vehicle on freeways, highways and other major roads to help the driver reduce the risk of the vehicle unintentionally veering out of the lane.

Lake Keeping Assistance steers the vehicle back into the lane and/or alerts the driver using vibrations in the steering wheel.

Lane Keeping Aid is active at speeds between 65-200 km/h (40-125 mph) on roads with clearly visible traffic lane marker lines.

On narrow roads, the function may be unavailable and go into standby mode. The function will become available again when the road becomes sufficiently wide.

Depending on the settings used, Lane Keeping Aid functions in different ways:
  • With Assist3 activated: When the vehicle approaches a lane marker line, LKA will actively steer the vehicle back into the lane using light pressure on the steering wheel.
  • With Warning3 activated: If the vehicle is about to move over a lane marker line, the driver will be alerted by vibrations in the steering wheel.

 Note

When the direction indicator is activated, the Lane Keeping Aid does not provide any warning or intervene with steering.

 Warning

  • The Lane Keeping Aid function is supplementary driver support intended to help improve driving safety – it cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather and road conditions.
  • The function is not a substitute for the driver's attention and judgment. The driver is always responsible for ensuring the vehicle is driven in a safe manner, at the appropriate speed, with an appropriate distance to other vehicles, and in accordance with current traffic rules and regulations.

Lane Keeping Aid does not intervene

Lane Keeping Aid does not intervene in sharp inside curves.

In certain cases, such as when a turn signal is used or when "straightening out" an inside curve, Lane Keeping Aid will not provide steering assistance or alerts.
