Lane Keeping Aid (LKA)*

The purpose of Lane Departure Warning is to
help the driver to reduce the risk of the vehicle
accidentally leaving its own lane in certain situa-
tions on motorways and similar major routes.

the driver with an acoustic signal or vibration
in the steering wheel.
•

its lane and/or alerts the driver with an
acoustic signal or vibration in the steering
wheel.

tems - market and engine alternative determine
which of the systems the car is equipped with.

A camera reads the side lines of the road/lane.
If the car is about to cross a side line then Lane

the lane with a slight steering torque in the steer-
ing wheel.
If the car reaches or crosses a side line then
Lane Keeping Aid will also alert the driver with
vibration in the steering wheel.

does not engage in all driving situations or
