LANE KEEPING ASSIST (LKA) SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)

When the system detects the vehicle

straying from its lane, it alerts the

driver with a visual and audible warn-

ing, while applying a slight counter-

steering torque, trying to prevent the

vehicle from moving out of its lane.

WARNING

• Driver is responsible for being

aware of surroundings and

steering the vehicle for safe

driving practices.

• Do not turn the steering wheel

suddenly when the steering

wheel is being assisted by the

system.

WARNING

The Lane Keeping Assist System

is a supplemental system and is

OQL058203L

not a substitute for safe driving

practices. It is the responsibility

of the driver to always pay atten-

tion and drive safely.

OQL048057L

The Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) sys-

tem is designed to detect the lane

markers on the road with a front view

camera at the front windshield, and

assists the driver’s steering to help

keep the vehicle in the lanes.

WARNING

• The system is designed to

detect lane markers using a

front view camera. If the lane

markers are hard to detect,

then the system may be limit-

ed. Always be cautious when

using the system.

• When the lane markers are

hard to detect, please refer to

“Driver’s Attention”.

• If you drive with your hands

off the steering wheel, the

LKA will stop controlling the

steering wheel after the hands

off alarm. If you drive with

your hands on the steering

wheel again, the control will

be activated again.

• If the vehicle speed is high,

steering torque for assistance

will not be enough to keep

your vehicle within the lane. If

so, the vehicle may move out

of its lane. Obey speed limit

when using LKA.

• If you attach objects to the

steering wheel, the system

may not assist steering.

• If you attach objects to the

steering wheel, hands off

alarm may not work properly.

• The operation of the LKA can

be canceled or not work prop-

erly according to road condi-

tion

and

surroundings.

Always be cautious when

driving.

• Do not disassemble the front

view camera temporarily for

tinting windows or attaching

any types of coatings and

accessories.

Do not disassemble the cam-

era. take your vehicle to an

authorized Kia dealer and

have the system checked to

need a calibration.

• When you replace the wind-

shield glass, front view cam-

era or parts of the steering,

take your vehicle to an author-

ized Kia dealer and have the

system checked to need a cal-

ibration.

• Do not remove or damage the

related parts of LKA.

• Do not place objects on the

dashboard that reflects light

such as mirrors, white paper,

etc. it may cause malfunction

of This may prevent the LKA

system from functioning

properly.

• You may not hear warning

sound of LKA if the audio vol-

ume is high.

over 64 km/h (40 mph) and all the

activation conditions are satisfied,

a green indicator will illuminate and

the system will provide steering

inputs.

To activate/deactivate the LKA:

With the ignition switch in the ON

position, press the LKA button locat-

ed on the instrument panel on the

lower left hand side of the driver.

The indicator in the cluster display

will initially illuminate white.

If the indicated (white) was activated

in the previous ignition cycle, the

When the conditions below are met,

LKA will be enable to assist steering.

• Vehicle speed is above 64 km/h

(40 mph).

• Lane marker (one or both side) is

detected by LKA.

OQL058244L/OQL058245L

If the vehicle leaves a lane, the lane

marker you cross will blink on the

LCD display.

If the vehicle moves out its lane

because steering torque for assis-

tance is not enough, the line indica-

tor will blink.

If LKA can assist steering, a green

steering wheel indicator will illumi-

• If all the conditions to activate LKA

are not satisfied, the system will

convert to the Lane Departure

Warning (LDW) system and warn

the driver only when the driver

crosses the lane markers. In this

scenario, the LDW system does

not provide any steering inputs into

the vehicle for you. Accordingly,

you must take the necessary steps

to maintain control of the vehicle

and keep it within the lanes.

WARNING

• Always have your hands on the

steering wheel while driving.

• If you hold the steering wheel

with a light grip, the system

may generate a hands off

• Turn off LKA system and drive

without using the system in

the following situations:

OQL058246L

- In bad weather

- In bad road conditions

- When the steering wheel

needs to be controlled by the

driver frequently.

• If there is a problem with the sys-

tem a message will appear. If the

problem continues the LKA fail

indicator will illuminate.

• The steering wheel may feel

heavier when the steering

wheel is assisted by the sys-

tem than when it is not.

5 116

Driving your vehicle

When there is a problem with the sys-

tem do one of the following:

• Turn the system on after turning

the engine off and on again.

• Check if the ignition switch is in the

ON position.

• Check if the system is affected by

the weather. (ex: fog, heavy rain,

etc.)

Standard LKA

LKA system Function Change

The Standard LKA mode guides the

driver to keep the vehicle within the

lanes. It provides steering inputs

when the vehicle is about to deviate

from the lanes.

The driver can change LKA to Lane

Departure Warning System (LDW

system) or change the LKA system

mode between Standard LKA and

Active LKA from the User Settings

Mode on the LCD display.

The driver can choose them by plac-

ing the ignition switch to the ON posi-

tion and by selecting ‘User Settings’,

‘Driver Assistance’, and ‘Lane

Keeping Assist’.

Active LKA

The active LKA mode provides more

frequent steering inputs in compari-

son with the Standard LKA mode.

• Check if there is foreign matter

covering the camera lens

The system is automatically set to

Standard LKA.

If the problem is not solved, take your

vehicle to an authorized Kia dealer

and have the system checked.

Lane Departure

LDW alerts the driver with a visual

and acoustic warning when the sys-

tem detects the vehicle leaving the

lane. In this mode, the system will not

provide steering inputs. When the

vehicle’s front wheel contacts the

inside edge of lane line, LKA issues

the lane departure warning.

5 117

Driving your vehicle

The system will be cancelled when:

• You change lanes with the turn sig-

nal.

• The steering will not be assisted

when vehicle speed is below 64

km/h (40 mph) and over 177 km/h

(110 mph). Always obey all traffic

laws and drive safely.

• The steering will not be assisted

when you change lanes quickly.

• The steering will not be assisted

when you brake suddenly.

• The steering will not be assisted

when the lane is very wide or nar-

row.

• The steering will not be assisted

when only one side lane marker is

detected.

• There are more than two lane

markers such as a construction

area.

DRIVER’S ATTENTION

The driver must be cautious in the

following situations because the sys-

tem may be limited when recogni-

tion of the lane marker is poor or

limited :

- Using the turn signal to change

lanes.

- If you change lanes without the

turn signal on, the steering wheel

might be controlled.

• LKA can transit to steering assist

mode when the car is near to mid-

dle of the lane after system on or

the lane was changed. LKA cannot

assist steering if the vehicle follows

a lane marker too closely.

• The control of ESC (Electronic

Stability Control) or VSM (Vehicle

Stability Management) is activated.

ꢀ

When lane and road condition is

poor

• It is difficult to distinguish the lane

marker from road when the lane

marker is covered with dust or

sand.

• It is difficult to distinguish the

color of the lane marker from

road.

• There is something that resembles

a lane marker.

• The lane marker is indistinct or

damaged.

• The steering will not be assisted

when you drive fast on a sharp

curve.

• Radius of a curve is too small.

• The number of lanes increases/

decreases or the lane lines are

crossing (Driving through a toll

plaza/toll gate, merged/divided

lane).

• When you turn steering wheel sud-

denly, the LKA will be disabled

temporarily.

• Driving on a steep slope or hill.

• There are more than two lane

markers.

• The lane marker is very thick or

thin.
