LANE KEEP ASSIST (LKA) [G2781340]

WARNING:

Make sure the relevant safety warnings and notes have been read and understood before driving the vehicle. See DRIVING AIDS SAFETY.

NOTE:

Make sure the Lane Keep Assist (LKA) system is disabled when connecting a trailer.

Lane Keep Assist (LKA) monitors the road lane markings in order to be able to detect unintentional road lane departure. If the vehicle is about to cross a lane boundary, a rotational force is applied to the steering wheel to counter the lane boundary crossing. The instrument panel displays a warning icon when a rotational force is applied to the steering wheel.

NOTE:

The LKA system does not assist the driver if road lane markings tracking is not available.

The Lane Keep Assist (LKA) system can be switched on and off via the driver assistance button (1). The button icon illuminates green when the LKA system is switched on.

NOTE:

The driver assistance button (1) also controls operation of the Blind Spot Assist (BSA) system. See BLIND SPOT ASSIST.

NOTE:

The LKA system selection is retained in the vehicle's memory after the vehicle is switched off.

The instrument panel displays an icon when the LKA system is switched on. The icon changes colour as follows:

Grey lines indicates:
1. The lane boundaries are not being tracked.
2. The driver is indicating on the same side.
  
  NOTE:
  
  When indicating left, the left side only is greyed out. The same strategy applies when indicating right.
3. One or more of the system limitations criteria may have been met. See LANE KEEP ASSIST (LKA) LIMITATIONS.
Green lines indicate that the line markings are being tracked.
Red lines indicate when the LKA feature is intervening.

The same LKA icon information can be also be viewed via the Driver Assistance instrument panel view. See CONFIGURING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL.

The Driver Assistance view displays the same LKA icon information via an enhanced graphic.

NOTE:

The same LKA icon information can be displayed in the Head Up Display (HUD).
