The Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) sys-
tem helps detect lane markers on the
road with a camera at the front wind-
shield, and assists the driver's steer-
ing 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 (LKA)
system is not a substitute for
safe driving practices, but a
convenience 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 (LKA) system:
Do not steer the steering
wheel suddenly when the
steering wheel is being assist-
ed by the system.
LKA 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.
WARNING
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 LKA
camera temporarily to tint the
window or attach any types of
coatings and accessories. If
you disassemble the camera
and assemble it again, take
your vehicle to an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer and have the
system checked for calibra-
tion.
When you replace the wind-
shield glass, LKA camera or
related parts of the steering
wheel, take your vehicle to an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer
and have the system checked
for calibration.

LKA Operation
To activate/deactivate the LKA:
With the POWER button in the ON
position, press the LKA switch locat-
ed on the instrument panel on the left
hand side of the steering wheel. The
indicator in the cluster display will ini-
tially illuminate white. This indicates
the LKA is in the READY but NOT
ENABLED state.
If you press the LKA button again,
the indicator on the switch and clus-
ter display will go off.
Always have your hands on
the steering wheel while the
LKA 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.
After then, if you drive with
your hands on the steering
wheel, the control will be acti-
vated again.
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 you attach objects to the
steering wheel, the system
may not assist steering or the
hands off alarm may not work
properly.
The system detects lane
markers and controls the
steering wheel by a camera,
therefore, if the lane markers
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.
You may not hear a warning
sound of LKA because of
excessive audio sound.
If any other warning sound
such as seat belt warning
chime is already generated,
the Lane Keeping Assist
(LKA) system warning may
not sound.
Do not place objects on the
dashboard that reflects light
such as mirrors, white paper,
etc. The system may malfunc-
tion if the sunlight is reflected.

The color of indicator will
change depending on the
condition of LKA.
- White : Sensor does not detect
lane markers or vehicle
speed is under 40 mph (64
km/h).
- Green : Sensor detects lane mark- ers and the system is able
to control vehicle steering.
Information
If the indicator (white) is activated
from the previous ignition cycle, the
system will turn ON without any addi-
tional control. If you press the LKA
switch again, the indicator on the clus-
ter goes off.
LKA activation
To see the LKA screen on the LCDdisplay in the cluster, select Assist
mode ( ). For more information,
refer to "LCD Display Modes" in
chapter 3. If vehicle speed is over 40 mph (64
km/h) and the system detects lane
markers, the color changes from
gray to white.
Both lane markers must be detect- ed for the system to fully activate.
iOOSEV058055L
The Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)
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.
