LKA (Lane-Keeping Assist) (if equipped)
Lane departure warning function
If the system judges that the vehicle may deviate from its lane, it alerts the driver using
beeping, screen displays and a sensory warning
* given via the steering wheel.
*: A slight steering torque is applied for a short period of time in the direction of the
center of the lane.
Lane keeping assist function
• This function will be active when the vehicl e-to-vehicle distance control mode of the
cruise control is set with vehicle speed above approximately 45 mph (72 km/h) and
while the lane departure warning function is active.
• When the lane keeping assist function is act ive, a slight steering torque will be applied,
to help the driver maintain the vehicle inside the lane.
While driving on a freeway or motor highway that has lane markers and no sharp curves,
the system recognizes the lanes using a camera located above the inside rear view mir-
ror as a sensor to assist the driver with st aying in the lane. The LKA system has two func-
tions.
