Lane Keep Assist (LKA): The Active Steering System by Bendix CVS can detect
lane markings and determine the vehicle's relative position within its lane. It also
can recognize when the vehicle begins to drift toward either the right or left lane
markings. When this occurs, LKA intervenes by adding a correction torque to the
steering wheel before the vehicle reaches the lane marking. This is intended to keep
the vehicle in its current lane of travel. The system is designed to disengage as soon as
the vehicle's path is re-established. The driver is able to override the system and steer
the vehicle at any time. The LKA feature is available at speeds above 37 mph / 60 kph.
Speed-Dependent Steering Assist: This feature provides variable steering assist
based on the vehicle speed to help the driver experience easier steering at low
speeds and a firmer steering response at higher speeds. It may also aid the driver
by helping to reduce fatigue related to steering, and can help the driver maintain
better control of the vehicle.
The driver will notice:
• The steering wheel is easier to turn at low vehicle speeds, potentially reducing
driver fatigue associated with constantly steering left or right as typically
experienced during yard maneuvering.
• The steering wheel will be firmer at higher vehicle speeds, potentially helping
the driver maintain steady lane position and steering feel.
There is no activation on/off switch for this feature. The driver should always
drive normally and safely.
