When LKA is not working properly, the warning message will appear and the yellow () indicator light will appear on the instrument cluster. Have the function inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.

If foreign materials such as snow or rain block the sensors or the windshield where the front view camera is located, the detecting performance may be reduced, resulting in Lane Keeping Assist temporarily limited or disabled.

In this case, a warning message is displayed with the master warning light and the Lane safety warning lights on the cluster. This is normal operation. Lane Keeping Assist will operate properly after cleaning snow, rain or foreign materials. Always keep it clean.

If Lane Keeping Assist still does not operate properly after cleaning foreign materials (snow, rain, etc.) or removing obstructions (including trailer, carrier, etc. from the rear bumper), have the vehicle inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.

• The lane is contaminated or difficult to detect because,

  • The lane markings (or road edges) are covered with rain, snow, dirt, oil, etc.

• The lane number increases or decreases, or the lane markings (or road edges) are crossing

• The lane markings (or road edges) are complicated or a structure substitutes for the lines, such as a construction area

• There are road markings (or road edges), such as zigzag lanes, crosswalk markings and road signs
