LKA will stop controlling the
steering wheel after the hands
off alarm. If you drive with
your hands on the steering
wheel again, the control will
be activated again.

so, the vehicle may move out
of its lane. Obey speed limit
when using LKA.
If you attach objects to the steering wheel, the system
may not assist steering.

area.
Radius of a curve is too small.
When you turn steering wheel sud- denly, the LKA will be disabled
temporarily.
Driving on a steep slope or hill.DRIVER’S ATTENTION
The driver must be cautious in the
following situations because the sys-

poor
• It is difficult to distinguish the lane marker from road when the lane
marker is covered with dust or
sand.
• It is difficult to distinguish the color of the lane marker from
road.
• There is something that resembles a lane marker.
• The lane marker is indistinct or damaged.
• The number of lanes increases/ decreases or the lane lines are
crossing (Driving through a toll
plaza/toll gate, merged/divided
lane).
• There are more than two lane markers.
