LANE KEEPING ASSIST SYSTEM (LKAS) (IF EQUIPPED)
The Lane Keeping Assist System
detects lane markers on the road,
and assists the driver's steering to
help keep the vehicle between lanes.
5 64
When the system detects the vehicle
straying from its lane, it alerts the
driver with a visual and audible warn-
ing, while applying a slight counter-
steering torque, trying to prevent the
vehicle from moving out of its lane.

system and should not be solely
relied upon by the driver. Do not
attempt sudden steering maneu-

speeds, the LKAS may not
adjust the steering wheel. It is
the driver's responsibility to
always pay attention to the road
and maintain control over the
