Lane Following Assist (LFA)*†7
REMINDERS:
•
If the ignition is cycled, LFA returns to its previous state, on or off, if activated in the User Settings menu and when combined with SCC. If using the Steering Wheel LK A button, then LK A defaults to off
•
LFA is not a substitute for safe and proper driving. Always drive safely and use caution
Lane Following Assist (LFA) is designed to help ensure that the vehicle stays centered in its
lane A by monitoring the detected lane markings ahead and adjust the steering. When turned
on, the instrument cluster indicator will initially illuminate white when turned ON, and on
some vehicles, when SCC is engaged. It will remain white when the system does not detect
the lane markers. When the system detects the lane markers and can assist the steering, the
LFA icon will illuminate green B.
LFA will operate only when these conditions are met:
• When the SCC is on and operating
• LK A recognizes both sides of the lane markers the vehicle is traveling in
• The vehicle is traveling slower than 95 mph
LFA User Settings:
• To go to User Settings in the Instrument Cluster, press the Mode button C on the
Steering Wheel when the vehicle is at a standstill, gear shift is in Park and with the ignition
on or the Engine Start /Stop button* in the ON position, and select User Settings
• To enable LFA, when in User Settings, press the Move (OK ) button D up/down and
Select Driver Assistance then Driving Assist and select Lane Following Assist. Press the
OK button D
• Some models access settings through the Vehicle Settings in the audio head unit. Press the
SETUP hard key on the audio head unit, then VEHICLE on the screen to enter Vehicle Settings
• Some vehicles have a Lane Driving Assist / Lane Safety button* on the Driver’s Panel or the
Steering Wheel . Press to activate Lane Following Assist
(Buttons located on steering wheel)
Images are for illustrative purposes only and may not reflect actual feature or operation.
LFA is supplemental. Do not solely rely on this system and always pay attention to the road and its conditions.
Actual User Settings steps may vary by model. See section 5 in the Owner’s Manual for more detailed information, limitations and conditions.
Lane Following Assist (LFA)* is not a substitute for safe and proper driving. Always drive safely and use caution. LFA may not always alert the driver when the vehicle is approaching another vehicle.
