WARNING
The Lane Keeping
System is a system to help pre-
vent the driver from leaving the
lane. However, the driver should
not solely rely on the system
but always take the necessary
actions for safe driving prac-
tices.

LKAS Function Change

The driver can change LKA to Lane
Departure Warning System (LDWS)
or change the LKAS mode between
Standard LKA and Active LKA from
the User Settings Mode on the LCD
display.

Lane Departure

LDWS alerts the driver with a visual
and acoustic warning when the sys-
tem detects the vehicle leaving the
lane. In this mode, the steering wheel
Assist
will not be controlled. When the vehi-
cle's front wheel contacts the inside
edge of lane line, LKAS issues the
lane departure warning.

Standard LKA

The Standard LKA mode guides the
driver to keep the vehicle within the
lanes. It rarely controls the steering
wheel, when the vehicle drives well
inside the lanes. However, it starts to
control the steering wheel, when the
vehicle is about to deviate from the
lanes.

Active LKA

The active LKA mode provides more
frequent steering wheel control in
comparison with the Standard LKA
mode. Active LKA can reduce the dri-
ver's fatigue to assist the steering for
maintaining the vehicle in the middle
of the lane.
