Check Lane Following Assist
If there is a problem with the system
a message will appear for a few sec-
onds. In this case, have the system
checked by an authorized Kia dealer.LFA will not be in the ENABLED
state and/or the steering wheel will not
be assisted when:
If the driver operate turn signal
lamp or Hazzard warning flasher to
change the lane,
- To change the driving lane, turn
on the turn signal lamp switch
and change the lanes.
- If change the driving lane to
another without operating turn
signal lamp switch, the repulsive
force may occur on the steering
wheel.
- After system operating or chang-
ing the lanes, you must move to
the center of the lane to switch the
system to LFA. If you continue to
drive close to the lane line instead
of in the middle of the lane, it does
not assist the steering.
WARNING
LFA is a supplemental system
only. It is the responsibility of
the driver to safely steer the
vehicle and to maintain it in its
lane.
Turn off LFA and drive without
using the system in the fol-
lowing situations:
