LANE KEEPING ASSIST SYSTEM (LKAS) (IF EQUIPPED)
OTFS052081
The Lane Keeping Assist System de‐
tects lane markers on the road, and as‐
sists the driver's steering to help keep
the vehicle between lanes.
When the system detects the vehicle
straying from its lane, it alerts the driv‐
er with a visual and audible warning,
while applying a slight counter steering
torque, trying to prevent the vehicle
from moving out of its lane.
WARNING
• The steering wheel is not continu‐
ously controlled so if the vehicle
speed is very fast when leaving a
lane the vehicle may not be con‐
trolled by the system.
• The operation of the LKAS can be
affected by several factors (in‐
cluding environmental conditions).
It is the responsibility of the driver
to pay attention to the roadway
and to maintain the vehicle in its
lane at all times.
• Do not steer the steering wheel
suddenly when the steering wheel
is being assisted by the system.

• LKAS prevents the driver from
moving out of the lane uninten‐
tionally by assisting the driver's
steering. However, the driver
should not solely rely on the sys‐
tem but always pay attention on
the steering wheel to stay in the
lane.
• Always check the road condition
and surroundings and be cautious
when the system cancels, does
not operate or malfunctions.
• Do not place any accessories,
stickers or tint the windshield near
the rearview mirror.
• The system detects lane markers
and controls the steering wheel by
a camera, therefore, if the lane
markers are hard to detect, the
system may not work properly.
Please refer to Driver's attention
on page 7-87.
• Do not remove any LKAS parts or
apply impact.
