1st stage

5125
Driving your vehicle
The Lane Keeping Assist system 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.
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, in an attempt to pre-
vent the vehicle form moving out of
its lane.
✽ ✽NOTICE
• LKA helps prevent the driver
from moving out of the lane unin-
tentionally by assisting the dri-
ver’s steering. However, the sys-
tem is just a convenience function
and the steering wheel is not
always controlled. While driving,
the driver should pay attention to
the steering wheel.
• The operation of the LKA can be cancelled or not work properly
because of road conditions and the
surroundings. Always be cautious
when driving.
• Do not disassemble the front view camera when installing tint on the
windows or applying any type of
coatings or accessories.
If you disassemble the camera and
assemble it again, take your vehi-
cle to an authorized Kia dealer
and have the system checked to
need a calibration. (Continued)
LANE KEEPING ASSIST (LKA) SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING
The driver is responsible for
being aware of surroundings
and steering the vehicle while
employing safe driving prac-
tices.
Do not steer the steering wheel suddenly when the
steering wheel is being assist-
ed by the system.

• When you replace the windshield
glass, front view camera or sys-
tem, take your vehicle to an
authorized Kia dealer and have
the system check to see if you need
a calibration.
• 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 limited. Always be cau-
tious when using the system.
• When the lane markers are hard to detect, please refer to the
“Driver’s Attention” section in
this Chapter
• Do not remove or damage the related parts of LKA.
• Do not place objects on the dash- board that reflect light such as
mirrors, white paper, etc. This
may prevent the system from
functioning. (Continued)(Continued)
• If the audio sound is excessive, you
may not hear the warning sound
of the LKA.
• If you continue to drive with your hands off the steering wheel, the
LKA system will stop controlling
the steering wheel after the hands
off alarm. Afterwards, if you drive
with your hands on the steering
wheel, the control will be activated
again.
• At high vehicle speeds, the steer- ing torque of LKA may not be
enough to keep your vehicle with-
in the lane. If so, the vehicle may
move out of its lane. Therefore,
obey any applicable speed limits
when using LKA.
• If you attach objects to the steer- ing wheel, the system may not
assist steering.
• If you attach objects to the steer- ing wheel, the hands off alarm
may not work properly.LKA operation

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.
When the indicator(white) activated
in the previous ignition cycle, the
system turns on without any control.
If you press the LKA button again,
the indicator on the cluster display
will go off.
