If you disassemble the cam-
era and assemble it again,
take your vehicle to an author-
ized K900 Kia dealer and have
the system checked to need a
calibration.
When you replace the wind- shield glass, front view cam-
era or related parts of the
steering, take your vehicle to
an authorized K900 Kia dealer
and have the system checked
to 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 limit-
ed. Always be cautious when
using the system.
When the lane markers are hard to detect, please refer to
“Driver’s Attention”.
(Continued)(Continued)
Do not remove or damage therelated parts of LKA system.
Do not place objects on the dashboard that reflects light
such as mirrors, white paper,
etc. This may prevent the LKA
system from functioning
properly.
You may not hear warning sound of LKA system because
of the excessive audio sound.
When other beeps such as the seat belt warning sound are in
operation and override the
LKA alarming system, LKA
beeps may not occur.
If the vehicle speed is high, steering torque for assistance
will not be enough to keep
your vehicle within the lane. If
so, the vehicle may move out
of its lane. Obey speed limit
when using LKA system.
(Continued)(Continued)
If you attach objects to thesteering wheel, the system
may not assist steering.
If you attach objects to the steering wheel, hands off
alarm may not work properly.

LKA system operation
To activate/deactivate the LKA:
With the ignition switch in the ON posi-
tion, LKA turns on automatically. The
indicator ( ) in the cluster display
will initially illuminate white. If you press
the LKA button located on the instru-
ment panel on the lower left hand side
of the driver, LKA will be turned off and
the indicator on the cluster display will
go off.The color of indicator will change
depend on the condition of LKA.
- White : Sensor does not detect the lane marker or vehicle
speed is less than 40
mph (64 km/h).
- Green : Sensor detects the lane
marker and system is able
to control the steering.
LKA system activation
To see the LKA system screen on
the LCD display in the cluster, Tab
to the ASSIST mode ( ).
For further details, refer to [menu settings] in chapter 4, [LCD win-
dows].
After LKA system is activated, if both lane markers are detected,
vehicle speed is over 40 mph (64
km/h). and all the activation condi-
tions are satisfied, the indicator will
turn green and the steering wheel
will be controlled.

If the speed of the vehicle is over 40
mph (64 km/h). and the system
detects lane markers, the color
changes from gray to white.
Warning
If the vehicle leaves a lane or road
edge, the lane marker you cross will
blink on the LCD display and the
warning sound is provided.
❈ Haptic specification
If the vehicle leaves a lane, the lane
marker you cross will blink on the
LCD display with steering wheel
vibration warning.
If all the conditions to activate LKA is
not satisfied, the system will convert
to LAW (Lane Departure Warning)
and warm the driver only when the
driver crosses the lane lines.

The Lane Keeping Assist
System is a system to help pre-
vent 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.

5109
Driving your vehicle
When the conditions below are met,
LKA will be enable to assist steering.
Vehicle speed is above 40 mph (64km/h).
Both lane markers are detected by LKA.
The vehicle is between the lane markers.
If LKA can assist steering, a green
LKA indicator will illuminate.
If the vehicle moves out its lane
because steering torque for assis-
tance is not enough, the line indica-
tor of deviation direction will blink
and the warning sound or steering
wheel vibration warning is provided.
If the driver takes hands off the steer-
ing wheel for several seconds while
the LKA is activated, the system will
warn the driver.
WARNING
The warning message mayappear late according to road
conditions. Therefore, always
have your hands on the steer-
ing wheel while driving.
If you hold the steering wheel lightly, the system would gen-
erate hands off warning
because LKA system can
treat the situation as you do
not grab the wheel.

ed by the system, the driver may
control the steering.
• The steering wheel may feel heav- ier when the steering wheel is
assisted by the system than when it
is not.
The system will be canceled when:
You change lanes with the turn sig-
nal.
- Using the turn signal to changelanes.
- If you change lanes without the turn signal on, the steering wheel
might be controlled.
LKA system can transit to steering assist mode when the car is near
to middle of the lane after system
on or the lane was changed. LKA
system can not assist steering if
the vehicle follows lane marker too
close continuously before transi-
tion to steering assist mode.
The control of ESC (Electronic Stability Control) or VSM (Vehicle
Stability Management) is activated.
The steering will not be assisted when your drive fast on a sharp
curve.
WARNING
The LKA system is a supple-mental system only. It is the
responsibility of the driver to
safely steer the vehicle and to
maintain it in its lane.
Even though the steering is assisted by the system, the
driver may control the steer-
ing wheel.
Turn off the LKA system and drive without using the sys-
tem in the following situa-
tions:
- In bad weather
- In bad road condition
- When the steering wheelneeds to be controlled by the
driver frequently.
- When towing a vehicle or trailer.
The steering wheel may feel heavier when the steering
wheel is assisted by the sys-
tem than when it is not.

• The lane marker is not visible due
to snow, rain, stain, a puddle or
other factors.
• A shadow is on the lane marker because of a median strip,
guardrail, noise barriers and others.
• When the lane markers are com- plicated or a structure substitutes
for the lines such as a construc-
tion area.
• There are crosswalk signs or other symbols on the road.
• The lane suddenly disappears such as at the intersection.

water on the road.
• When light shines brightly in the reverse direction you drive.
• Road surface is not even.
• The distance from the vehicle ahead is very short or the vehicle
ahead drives hiding the lane line
or road edge.

WARNING
The Lane Keeping Assist
System is a system to help pre-
vent the driver from leaving the
lane. However, the driver should
not solely rely on the system
but always take the necessary
actions for safe driving prac-
tices.

LKA system fail indicator
The LKA system fail indicator (yel-
low) will illuminate if the LKA system
is not working properly. In this case,
have the system checked by an
authorized K900 Kia dealer.
LKA system function change
The driver can change LKA to Lane
Departure Warning (LDW) or change
the LKA mode from the AVN.
Lane Keeping Assist
The 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 con-
trol the steering wheel, when the
vehicle is about to deviate from the
lanes.
Lane Departure Warning
LDW alerts the driver with a visual
and acoustic warning when the sys-
tem detects the vehicle leaving the
lane. In this mode, the system will not
provide steering inputs. When the
vehicle’s front wheel contacts the
inside edge of lane line, LKA issues
the lane departure warning.

The Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist-Lane-Change Oncoming func-
tion detects the oncoming vehicle
with a front view camera at the front
wihdshield. And it assists the driver’s
steering to help avoiding the collision
to oncoming vehicle and keeping the
vehicle in the lanes, when the vehicle
drives over the centerline.Function operation
Driver can activate(or deactivate) the
function from the AVN:
'AVN →Settings →Vehicle →Driver
assistance →Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist (FCA)’ For further
details, refer to [System setting] in
this chapter, [FCA].
Warning message and func-
tion control
After FCA is on, vehicle speed is over 60 kph (37 mph) and if the
vehicle across the centerline even
though the oncoming vehicle
approacing, this warning message
appears on the LCD display with
audible warning.
Additionally, provides steering assist to return vehicle back into
lanes.
FORWARD COLLISION-AVOIDANCE ASSIST-LANE-CHANGE ONCOMING FUNCTION (FCA)
WARNING
This function is only a supple-mental system. So, it does not
replace the need for extreme
care and attention of the driv-
er. The sensing range of
oncoming vehicle is limited.
Pay attention to the road con-
ditions at all times.
Always drive cautiously to prevent unexpected and sud-
den situations from occur-
ring. The function does not
steer the vehicle completely
and is not a collision avoid-
ance system.
