WARNING

  • It is the driver's responsibility to operate the steering wheel for safe driving.

  • Do not turn the steering wheel hastily if Lane Following Assist is activated.

  • Lane Following Assist is designed to provide steering inputs so that the vehicle can stay in the center of the detected lane. Lane Following Assist does not automatically control the steering wheel at all times, which means the driver must have hands on the wheel at all times while driving.

  • When using Lane Following Assist, always be aware of your surroundings and road conditions that may interrupt or stop Lane Following Assist.

CAUTION

  • Do not attach glass tinting, stickers, accessories to the windshield near the front view camera near where the indoor mirror is placed.

  • Inspection or modification may be required when replacing parts related to the windshield or front view camera. Have the function be inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.

  • Depending on your surroundings and road conditions, Lane Following Assist could fail to recognize the lane and stop working. As such, extra caution is required while driving with Lane Following Assist on.

  • Be sure to check the non-operating conditions and cautions for the driver before using Lane Following Assist.

  • Do not place reflective materials, such as white paper or mirror, on the dashboard. Sunlight reflections can cause Lane Following Assist to not function properly.

  • Loud audio volumes can prevent the occupants from hearing the alarm sounds from Lane Following Assist.

  • Keeping your hands off the wheel while driving will trigger the hands-off warning and deactivate the steering-assist function.

  • When driving at a high speed, the steering assist force can become weak and the vehicle can drive out of its lane, requiring extra caution. Comply with the speed limit.
