Lane Following Assist (LFA) (if equipped)

Lane Following Assist helps detect 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 between lanes.
WARNING

Lane Following Assist is not a substitute for safe driving practices, but a convenience function. It is the responsibility of the driver to always be aware of the surrounding and steer the vehicle.

WARNING

Take the following precautions when using Lane Following Assist:

  • Do not steer the steering wheel suddenly when the steering wheel is being assisted by the function.

  • Lane Following Assist helps the driver to keep the vehicle in the center of the lane by assisting the driver's steering. However, the driver should not solely rely on the function but always pay attention on the steering wheel to stay in the lane.

  • The operation of Lane Following Assist can be canceled or not work properly according to road condition and surroundings. Always be cautious when driving.

  • Do not disassemble the front view camera temporarily to tint the window or attach any types of coatings and accessories. If you disassemble the camera and assemble it again, we recommend that you take your vehicle to an authorized Kia dealer/service partner and have the function checked for calibration.

  • When you replace the windshield glass, front view camera or related parts of the steering wheel, we recommend that you take your vehicle to an authorized Kia dealer/service partner and have the function checked for calibration.

  • The function detects lane markers and controls the steering wheel by the front view camera, therefore, if the lane markers are hard to detect, the function may not work properly. Please refer to More Details.

  • Do not remove or damage the related parts of Lane Following Assist.

  • You may not hear a warning sound of Lane Following Assist because of excessive audio sound.

  • Do not place objects on the dashboard that reflects light such as mirrors, white paper, etc. The function may malfunction if the sunlight is reflected.

  • Always have your hands on the steering wheel while Lane Following Assist is activated. If you continue to drive with your hands off the steering wheel after the "Keep hands on steering wheel" warning message appears, the function will turn off automatically. However, if the driver has their hands on the steering wheel again, the function will start controlling the steering wheel.

  • The steering wheel is not continuously controlled so if the vehicle speed is at a higher rate when leaving a lane the vehicle may not be controlled by the function. The driver must always follow the speed limit when using the function.

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

  • When you tow a trailer, make sure that you turn off Lane Following Assist.
