Lane Keep Assist (LKA) is a driving aid only. The driver is responsible for driving with due care and attention, and in a manner which is safe for the vehicle, its occupants, and other road users. The driver should still observe all road markings. Driver distraction can lead to accidents, potentially causing serious injury or death.
Low tyre pressure and/or steering tracking out of alignment affects the performance of the LKA feature. Both of these conditions may apply an effect where constant steering adjustment is required. Drive safely at all times, and use the door mirrors and rear-view mirror to avoid accidents.
LKA is an enhancement of the lane departure warning system.
The LKA aids the driver to keep the vehicle in the current carriageway lane, e.g., while driving on a multi-lane road. If the vehicle becomes too close to lane markings on either side, without the direction indicators being used, the system alerts the driver.
A rotational force is automatically applied to the steering wheel. The LKA alerts the driver that a steering correction should be made via rotational force felt through the steering wheel. The rotational force can be overridden to make a lane change without use of the direction indicators.
If an override is made, and a lane change is made without use of the direction indicators, lane departure warning alerts are triggered. See LANE DEPARTURE WARNING.
The LKA feature can be enabled or disabled via the Driver assistance menu, in the instrument panel, when the lane departure warning system is switched on. See INSTRUMENT PANEL MENU.
When the ignition is switched off and on again, the LKA system settings remain as previously set.
The LKA disables if a fault is detected. The instrument panel displays a message. If the fault does not clear after the ignition is switched off and on again, consult a retailer/authorised repairer.
