Driving while distracted can result in a loss of vehicle control that may lead to an 
accident, severe personal injury and death. The driver’s primary responsibility is in the safe and legal operation of a vehicle, and any handheld devices, other equipment or vehicle systems which take the driver’s eyes, attention and focus away from the safe operation of a vehicle or that are not permissible by law  should never be used during operation of the vehicle.
On select models, to set warning volume, navigate to the “Warning Volume” section in the Drivers Assistance menu. Choose High, Medium, Low or Off to determine the volume level of the vehicle warning features. Adjust the warning volume accordingly by pressing “OK” on the steering wheel controls. Caution, if the music or vehicle audio volume is set too high the warning volume might not be heard.

The Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) is designed to detect the lane markers on the road with a front view camera on the windshield, and may assist the driver’s steering to potentially help keep the vehicle in the lane  The instrument cluster indicator  will initially illuminate white when turned ON  It will remain white when the vehicle is traveling slower than 40 mph or when the system does not detect the lane markers  When the system detects the lane markers and can assist the steering, the LKA icon will illuminate green 
If the LKA detects that you are moving outside of your lane, the system may give an audible warning and display an LDW (Lane Departure Warning) alert on the instrument cluster  If the vehicle continues to move outside of the lane, LKA will apply a slight adjustment to the steering, trying to prevent the vehicle from moving outside its lane 
LKA is the operating mode by default when the LKA button is depressed to ON 
All systems will operate under the following conditions:
§ The vehicle speed exceeds approximately 40 mph
§ The LKA system recognizes both sides of the lane markers the vehicle is  traveling in
§ The vehicle is between the lane markers
