When Lane Keeping Assist is not working properly, the warning message will appear and the yellow () indicator light will appear on the cluster.

If this occurs, have the function inspected by a professional workshop. Kia recommends that you visit an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.

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 yellow 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/service partner.

Lane Keeping Assist may not operate properly or may operate unexpectedly under the following circumstances:

• The lane is contaminated or difficult to detect because:

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

  • The color of the lane marking (or road edges) is not distinguishable from the road

  • There are markings (or road edges) on the road near the lane or the markings (or road edges) on the road look similar to the lane markings (or road edges)

  • The lane marking (or road edges) is indistinct or damaged

  • When the shadow of objects around the road (central reservation, crash barrier, noise barrier, surrounding bushes, etc.) or the shadow of a vehicle covers the lane.

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

• There are more than two lane markings (or road edges) on the road

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

• There are road markings, such as zigzag lanes, crosswalk markings and road signs

• The lane suddenly disappears, such as at the intersection

• The lane (or road width) is very wide or narrow

• There is a road edge without a lane

• There is a boundary structure in the roadway, such as a tollgate, sidewalk, curb, etc.

• The distance to the front vehicle is extremely short or the vehicle in front is covering the lane marking (or road edge)
