Lane Keeping Assist System (Lkas) - Kia Niro 2018 Owner's Manual

Driving your vehicle
LANE KEEPING ASSIST SYSTEM (LKAS) (IF EQUIPPED)
The Lane Keeping Assist System
detects the lane markers on the road
with a front view camera at the front
windshield, and assists the driver's
steering to help keep the vehicle in
the lanes.
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.
