When the conditions below are met,
LKA system will be enable to assist
steering.
Vehicle speed is above 40 mph (64km/h).
Both lane markers are detected by LKA system.
The vehicle is between the lane markers.
If LKA system can assist steering, a
green LKA system indicator will illu-
minate.
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
LKA is activated, the system will
warn the driver.
WARNING
The warning message may bedelayed according to road
conditions. Therefore, always
have your hands on the steer-
ing wheel while driving.
If you hold the steering wheel too lightly, the system could
generate the hands off warn-
ing because LKA system may
think you are not grabbing the
wheel.

When this condition is selected,the initial Blind-Spot Collision
Warning is activated normally. If
this setting feels too sensitive
change the option to 'later'.
The warning activation time may feel late if the side/rear vehicle
abruptly accelerates. - Later:
Select this warning activation
time when the traffic is light and
you are driving in a low speed.
However, if you change the warn-
ing activation time, the warning
activation time of vehicle's other
system may also change. Check

(BCW) system. Do not solely
rely on the system but check
your surrounding before
changing lanes or backing the
vehicle up.
The system may not alert the driver in some conditions so
always check your surround-
ings while driving.
CAUTION
The driver should always use extreme caution while operat-ing the vehicle, whether or notthe warning light on the out-side rearview mirror illumi-nates or there is a warningalarm.
Playing the vehicle audio sys- tem at high volume may offsetBlind-Spot Collision Warning(BCW) system warningsounds.

ter, check to make sure that the rear
bumper is free from any dirt or snow
in the areas where the sensor is
located. Remove any dirt, snow, or
foreign material that could interfere
with the radar sensors.(Continued) Pay extreme caution to keep the camera sensor out of water.
NEVER locate any reflective objects (i.e. white paper, mir-ror) over the crash pad. Anylight reflection may cause amalfunction of the system.

warning sounds.CAUTION
Driver Attention Warning (DAW)
system may not properly oper-ate with limited alerting in thefollowing situations:
The lane detection perform- ance is limited. (For moreinformation, refer to "LaneKeeping Assist (LKA) system"in this chapter.)
The vehicle is violently driven or is abruptly turned for obsta-cle avoidance (e.g. construc-tion area, other vehicles, fallenobjects, bumpy road).
Forward drivability of the vehi- cle is severely undermined(possibly due to wide varia-tion in tire pressures, uneventire wear-out, toe-in/toe-outalignment).
The vehicle drives on a curvy road.
The vehicle drives on a bumpy road.

- When driving in windy areas
- When driving in parking lots
- When driving near crash barriers
- When driving on a sharp curve
- When driving with limited view (possibly due to bad
weather, such as fog, snow,
rain or sandstorm)
