Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) (if equipped)

Lane Keeping Assist system detects the lane markers on the road with a front view camera at the front windshield, and assists the driver's steering to help keep the vehicle in the lanes.

When the system detects the vehicle straying from its lane, it alerts the driver with a visual and audible warning, while applying a counter-steering torque, trying to prevent the vehicle from moving out of its lane.

Warning
  • Driver is responsible for being aware of surroundings and steering the vehicle for safe driving practices.

  • Do not turn the steering wheel suddenly when the steering wheel is being assisted by the system.

  • LKA helps prevent the driver from moving out of the lane unintentionally by assisting the driver's steering. However, the system is just a convenience system and the steering wheel is not always controlled. While driving, the driver should pay attention to the steering wheel.

  • The operation of LKA can be cancelled or not work properly according to road condition and surroundings. Always be cautious when driving.

Notice
  • Do not disassemble a front view camera temporarily for window tinting or for attaching any types of coatings and accessories. If you disassemble the camera and assemble it again, take your vehicle to a professional workshop and have the system checked to see if it needs a calibration. Kia recommends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.

  • When you replace the windshield glass, front view camera or related parts of the steering, take your vehicle to a professional workshop and have the system checked to see if it needs a calibration. Kia recommends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.

  • Do not place objects on the dashboard that reflects light, such as mirrors, white paper, etc. It may cause the malfunctioning of LKA if sunlight is reflected.

  • You may not hear warning sounds of LKA because of excessive audio sound.

  • While other beeps, such as the seat belt warning sound, are in operation and override the LKA alarming system, LKA beeps may not occur.

  • If the vehicle speed is high, steering torque for assistance may not be enough to keep your vehicle within the lane. If 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.

  • If you attach objects to the steering wheel, hands off alarm may not work properly.
