Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)*

Provides steering input to help keep the vehicle in the middle of a detected lane and
visual and tactile alerts if the vehicle is detected drifting out of its lane while driving
between 45–90 mph (72–145 km/h).
If your vehicle is getting too close to detected left or
right side lane markings without a turn signal activated,
a message appears on the Driver Information Interface,
and the steering wheel vibrates. Steering torque is also
applied to help keep your vehicle within your driving
lane.
Turning the System On or Off

Driver Information Interface.
2. Press the LKAS button. Lane outlines appear
in the Driver Information Interface. Dotted lane
lines turn solid when the system starts operating.
3. Press the MAIN button or the LKAS button to turn
the system off.
Important Safety Reminder
LKAS is for your convenience only. It is not a substitute for your vehicle control. The
system does not work if you take your hands off the steering wheel or fail to steer
the vehicle.
Do not place an object on the top of the instrument panel. It may reflect onto the
windshield and prevent the system from detecting lane lines properly.
