er with a visual and audible warninþ,
while applyinþ a sliþht counter-steerinþ
torque, tryinþ to prevent the vehicle
ýrom movinþ out oý its lane.

aware of surroundings and steer‐

• LKAS helps prevent the driver from
moving out of the lane uninten‐
tionally by assisting the driver's
steering. However, the system is
just a convenience function and
the steering wheel is not always
controlled. While driving, the driver
should pay attention to the steer‐
ing wheel.
• The operation of the LKAS can be
cancelled or not work properly ac‐
cording to road condition and sur‐
roundings. Always be cautious
when driving.
• Do not disassemble a front view
camera temporarily for tinted win‐
dow or attaching any types of
coatings and accessories. If you
disassemble the camera and as‐
semble it again, take your vehicle
to an authorized Kia dealer and
have the system checked to need
a calibration.
