Driving Your Vehicle -> Lane Keeping Assist for Your Hyundai Tucson SUV 2020

LANE KEEPING ASSIST (LKA) SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)  
The operation of the LKA sys-  
tem can be canceled or not  
work properly according to  
road condition and surround-  
ings. Always be cautious  
when driving.  
Do not disassemble the LKA  
system camera temporarily to  
tint the window or attach any  
types of coatings and acces-  
sories. If you disassemble the  
camera and assemble it again,  
take your vehicle to an author-  
ized HYUNDAI dealer and  
have the system checked for  
calibration.  
When you replace the wind-  
shield glass, LKA system  
camera or related parts of the  
steering wheel, take your  
vehicle to an authorized  
HYUNDAI dealer and have the  
system checked for calibra-  
tion.  
WARNING  
The Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)  
system is not a substitute for  
safe driving practices. It is the  
responsibility of the driver to  
always be aware of the sur-  
rounding and steer the vehicle.  
WARNING  
OTLE058182  
The Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) sys-  
tem detects lane markers on the  
road using a forward facing front  
camera located on the top center of  
the windshield. The LKA system  
assists the driver's steering to help  
keep the vehicle between the lane  
markers.  
Take the following precautions  
when using the Lane Keeping  
Assist (LKA) system:  
Do not steer the steering  
wheel suddenly when the  
steering wheel is being assist-  
ed by the system.  
LKA system helps to prevent  
the driver from moving out of  
the lane unintentionally by  
assisting the driver's steering.  
However, the driver should not  
solely rely on the system but  
always pay attention on the  
steering wheel to stay in the  
lane.  
5
When the system detects the vehicle  
straying from its lane, it alerts the  
driver with a visual and audible warn-  
ing, while applying a counter-steer-  
ing torque, to try to prevent the vehi-  
cle from moving out of its lane.  
5-87  
Driving your vehicle  
The system detects lane lines  
and controls the steering  
wheel by a camera, therefore,  
if the lane lines are hard to  
detect, the system may not  
work properly.  
Please refer to "Limitations of  
the system".  
Do not remove or damage the  
related parts of LKA system.  
Always have your hands on  
the steering wheel while the  
LKA system is activated. Also,  
when Active LKA is selected  
from the User Settings mode  
and if you continue to drive  
with your hands off the steer-  
ing wheel after the "Keep  
hands on steering wheel"  
warning message appears,  
the system will stop control-  
ling the steering wheel.  
However, if the driver has their  
hands on the steering wheel  
again, the system will start  
If you attach objects to the  
steering wheel, the system  
may not assist steering or the  
hands off alarm may not work  
properly.When you tow a trail-  
er, make sure that you turn off  
the LKA system.  
When you tow a trailer, make  
sure that you turn off the LKA

Do not place objects on the

The steering wheel is not con-  
tinuously controlled so if the  
vehicle speed is at a higher  
speed when leaving a lane the  
vehicle may not be able to be  
controlled by the system. The  
driver must always follow the  
speed limit when using the  
system.

If there is a problem with the system  
a message will appear for a few sec-  
onds. If the problem continues the  
LKA system failure indicator will illu-  
minate.  
• Even though the steering is assisted  
by the system, the driver can still  
steer to control the steering wheel.  
If the driver still does not have their  
hands on the steering wheel after the  
message "Keep hands on steering  
wheel", the system will not control  
the steering wheel and warn the driv-  
er only when the driver crosses the  
lane markers.  
However, if the driver has their hands  
on the steering wheel again, the sys-  
tem will start controlling the steering  
wheel.  
• The steering wheel may feel heavier  
when the steering wheel is assisted  
by the system than when it is not.  
This warning message is available  
when Active LKA is selected from the  
User Settings mode.

The LKA system will not be in the  
ENABLED state and/or the steering  
wheel will not be assisted when:  
• The turn signal is turned on before  
changing a lane. If you change  
lanes without the turn signal on, the  
steering wheel might be controlled.  
• Radius of a curve is too small.  
• The vehicle is driven on a steep  
incline.  
• The steering wheel is turned sud-  
denly.

Information  
Active LKA  
This device complies with Part 15 of  
the FCC rules.  
The Active LKA mode provides more  
frequent steering wheel control in  
comparison with the Standard LKA  
mode.  
Operation is subject to the following  
two conditions:  
1. This device may not cause harmful  
5
interference, and  
Lane Keeping Assist  
2. This device must accept any inter-  
ference received, including interfer-  
ence that may cause undesired  
operation.  
This mode guides the driver to help  
keep the vehicle within the lanes. It  
rarely controls the steering wheel,  
when the vehicle drives well inside  
the lanes. However, it starts to con-  
trol the steering wheel, when the  
vehicle is about to deviate out of the  
lane.
