Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) (if equipped)

Lane Keeping Assist detects the lane markers and road edge 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 function detects the vehicle straying from its lane or road, it alerts the driver with a visual and audible warning, while applying a slight counter-steering torque, trying to prevent the vehicle from moving out of its lane.
