Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)*†7
With the Engine Start /Stop button in the ON position, press
the LK A button A to turn system ON . The instrument cluster
indicator will initially illuminate white . It will remain
white when the vehicle is traveling less than 40 mph or the
system does not detect the lane markers . When the LK A
system detects the lane markers and can assist the steering,
the LK A icon will illuminate green .
If the LK A detects that you are moving outside of your lane,
the system may give an audible warning and display a LDW
(Lane Departure Warning) alert on the instrument cluster .
If the vehicle continues to move outside of the lane, the
LK A will apply a slight adjustment to the steering, trying to
prevent the vehicle from moving outside its lane .
Standard LK A is the operating mode by default when the
LK A button is depressed to ON . To switch between modes
(Standard LK A, Active LK A and Lane Departure), go to User
Settings in the Instrument Cluster .
All systems will operate under the following conditions:
•The vehicle exceeds approximately 40 mph
•The LK A system recognizes both sides of the lane markers
the vehicle is traveling in
•The vehicle is between the lane markers
REMINDERS:
• LK A will not issue a warning if the turn signal or hazard signal is activated
• LK A will return to its previous setting on/off when the ignition is cycled
Lane Keeping Assist is not a substitute for safe driving, and may not always detect if the vehicle is moving outside of its lane. Always drive safely and use caution.
Your vehicle’s instrument cluster & indicator light locations may differ from those in the illustrations. For more information on the instrument cluster, please refer to the Owner’s Manual.
These illustrations are for demonstration purposes only. Actual indicators may vary in appearance.
When the LK A sensor detects the lane traveled in, both lanes are illuminatedWhen the LK A sensor does not detect the lane traveled in the lanes are not illuminated
When the LK A sensor detects the vehicle moving outside of the lane being traveled in, a yellow indicator will illuminate either on the left or right lane (shown in both images above)

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) / Forward Collision Warning (FCW)*†7
The FCA system is designed to help alert the driver, and, under certain conditions, apply emergency braking,
when approaching a vehicle that is slowing down, braking or stopped . Initially, FCA provides Forward Collision
Warning (FCW ) when it detects a potential collision with a vehicle in front, emitting an audible warning and visual
alert on the instrument cluster .
Adjust the alert settings (Early, Normal, Late) in the User Settings . To turn FCA /FCW off, go to User Settings again and
turn it off .
If the collision risk increases and other conditions are met, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) is designed to
automatically apply the brakes to reduce your speed, potentially helping to minimize the effects of a possible collision .
FCA can be turned ON in the User Settings menu on the Instrument Cluster display .
FCA /FCW will become active when the:
• Engine Start /Stop button is ON
• Vehicle is traveling more than 5 mph
• Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is ON
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) / Forward Collision Warning (FCW)* are not substitutes for safe and proper driving. Always drive safely and use caution. FCA / FCW may not always alert the driver when the vehicle is approaching another vehicle.
REMINDERS:
• FCA will be activated by default when vehicle power is cycled on, even when previously set to off
• FCW will not operate when the vehicle is traveling faster than approximately 50 mph
• If FCA is operating and ESC (Electronic Stability Control) is turned of f, the FCA system is automatically turned off
• When FCA is not operating, the FCA warning indicator will illuminate on the Instrument Cluster
