Driving your vehicle
The Lane Keeping Assist System
detects lane markers on the road,
and assists the driver's steering to
help keep the vehicle between lanes.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, to try to prevent the
vehicle from moving out of its lane.

The lane keeping assist system
is not a substitute for safe driv-
ing practices, but a conven-
ience function only. It is the
responsibility of the driver to
always be aware of the sur-
rounding and steer the vehicle.
WARNING
Take the following precautions
when using the Lane Keeping
Assist System (LKAS):
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.
Do not steer the steering
wheel suddenly when the
steering wheel is being assist-
ed by the system.
LKAS prevents 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.

LKAS Operation
To activate the LKAS:
With the ignition switch in the ON
position, press the LKAS button
located on the instrument panel on
the lower left hand side of the driver.
The indicator in the cluster display
will initially illuminate white. This indi-
cates the LKAS is in the READY but
NOT ENABLED state.
Driving your vehicle(Continued)
Always check the road condi-
tion and surroundings and be
cautious when the system
cancels, does not operate or
malfunctions.
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 attempt to repair the
LKAS camera and do not
remove any parts.
Do not place objects that
reflect light on the dashboard
while driving.
Do not place any accessories
near the rearview mirror. (Continued)
(Continued)
The operation of the LKAS
may be affected by several
factors including environmen-
tal conditions that affect the
ability of the camera to detect
the lanes in front of you. It is
the responsibility of the driver
to pay careful attention to the
roadway and to maintain the
vehicle in its intended lane at
all times.
Always have your hands on
the steering wheel while the
LKAS system is activated. If
you continue to drive with
your hands off the steering
wheel after the "Keep hands
on steering wheel" warning
message appears, the system
will turn off automatically.
Always be cautious when
using the system.

LKAS activation
The LKAS screen will appear onthe SCC/LKAS screen of the LCD
display if the system is activated.
When both lane lines are detected and all the conditions to activate
the LKAS are satisfied, a green
steering wheel indicator will illumi-
nate and the LKAS indicator light
will change from white to green.
This indicates that the LKAS sys-
tem is in the ENABLED state and
the steering wheel will be able to
be controlled. If the system detects the left lane
line, the left lane line color will
change from gray to white.
If the system detects the right lane line, the right lane line color will
change from gray to white.
Both lane lines must be detected for the system to fully activate.5

The Lane Keeping Assist
System is a system to prevent
the driver from leaving the lane.
However, the driver should not
solely rely on the system but
always check the road condi-
tions when driving.
WARNING

Warning
If you cross a lane line, the laneline you cross will blink (yellow) on
the LCD display.
If the steering wheel appears, the system will try to control the vehi-
cle’s steering to prevent the vehicle
from crossing the lane line. If all the conditions to activate LKAS
is not satisfied, the system will con-
vert to LDWS (Lane Departure
Warning System) and warn the driv-
er only when the driver crosses the
lane lines.
If the driver takes their hands off the
steering wheel for several seconds
while the LKAS is activated, the sys-
tem will warn the driver with a visual
and audible warning.

Driving your vehicle
If the driver still does not have their
hands on the steering wheel after
several seconds, the system will not
control the steering wheel and warn
the driver only when the driver cross-
es the lane lines.
Information
• Even though the steering is assistedby the system, the driver can still
steer to control the steering wheel.
• The steering wheel may feel heavier when the steering wheel is assisted
by the system than when it is not.
The LKAS system will not be in the
ENABLED state and the steering
wheel will not be assisted when:
Vehicle speed is below 40 mph (60 km/h) and over 110 mph (180
km/h).
Only one lane line is detected.
The turn signal is turned on before changing a lane. If you change
lanes without the turn signal on,
the steering wheel might be con-
trolled.
The hazard warning flasher is on.
The width of the lane is below 10 feet (3.1 m) and over 15 feet
(4.5 m).
ESC (Electronic Stability Control) is activated.
The vehicle is driven on a sharp curve.
The vehicle brakes suddenly.
The vehicle makes sharp lane changes.
Information
When the system is turned on or right
after changing a lane, drive in the
middle of the lane. If not, the system
will not provide steering assist func-
tion.

situations.
- In bad weather
- In bad road condition
- When the steering wheelneeds to be controlled by the
driver frequently.
WARNING

Limitations of the System
The LDWS may operate prematurely
even if the vehicle does not depart
from the intended lane, OR, the
LDWS may not warn you if the vehi-
cle leaves the intended lane under
the following circumstances:
The lanes ahead are not visibledue to rain, snow, water on the
road, damaged or stained road
surface, or other factors.
The brightness outside changes suddenly such as when entering or
exiting a tunnel.
The brightness outside is too low such as when the headlamps are
not on at night or the vehicle is
going through a tunnel.
It is difficult to distinguish the lane marking from the road surface or
the lane marking is faded or not
clearly marked.
Driving on a steep grade, over a hill, or when driving on a curved
road. When light coming from a street
light or an oncoming vehicle is
reflected on a wet road surface
such as a puddle in the road.
The windshield or the LDWS cam- era lens is blocked with dirt or
debris.
The field of view in front is obstructed by sun glare.
The lanes are incomplete or the area is in a construction zone.
There are more than two lane lines on the road in front of you.
The lane markings are not clearly visible from the road.
The lane width is too wide or too narrow. See previous page.
The windshield glass is fogged up; a clear view of the road is obstruct-
ed.
There are markings on the road surface that look like a lane line
that is inadvertently being detected
by the camera. There is a boundary structure in
the roadway such as a concrete
barrier that is inadvertently being
detected by the camera.
There is not enough distance between you and the vehicle in
front to be able to detect the lane
line or the vehicle ahead is driving
on the lane line.
The adverse road conditions cause excessive vehicle vibrations while
driving.

LKAS Function Change Lane Departure Warning System(LDWS)
LDWS alerts the driver with a visual
warning and a warning alarm when
the system detects the vehicle
departing the lane. The steering
wheel will not be controlled.
Standard LKA
The Standard LKA mode guides the
driver to keep the vehicle within the
lanes. It rarely controls the steering
wheel, when the vehicle drives well
inside the lanes. However, it starts to
control the steering wheel, when the
vehicle is about to deviate out of the
lanes.
Driving your vehicle
OTLE055031/OTLE055032/OTLE055033
The driver can change LKAS to Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) or
change the LKAS mode between Standard LKA and Active LKA from the
User Settings mode on the LCD display. The system is automatically set to
Standard LKA if a function is not selected.

Active LKA
The Active LKA mode provides more
frequent steering wheel control in
comparison with the Standard LKA
mode. The driver may not feel the
onset of the steering wheel control,
because the Active LKA may be con-
stantly controlling the steering with
lighter corrections.Information
This device complies with Part 15 of
the FCC rules.
Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmfulinterference, and
2. This device must accept any inter- ference received, including interfer-
ence that may cause undesired
