LKA (Lane-Keeping Assist)

: If equipped
When driving on highways and
freeways with white or yellow lines,
this function alerts the driver when
the vehicle might depart from its
lane and provides assistance by
operating the steering wheel to
keep the vehicle in its lane. Further-
more, the system also provides
steering assistance when dynamic
radar cruise control with full-speed
range is operating to keep the vehi-
cle in its lane.
The LKA system recognizes visible
white or yellow lines with the cam-
era sensor on the upper portion of
the windshield.
