the lane on the side where it has
detected a lane marking. Even with LKA
and LDW, you must steer the vehicle.
Always keep your attention on the road
and maintain proper vehicle position
within the lane, or vehicle damage,
injury, or death could occur. Always keep
the windshield, headlamps, and camera
sensors clean and in good repair. Do not
use LKA in bad weather conditions or on
roads with unclear lane markings, such as
construction zones.
{
Warning
Using LKA on slippery roads could cause
loss of control of the vehicle and a crash.
Turn the system off.
{
Warning
LKA will not alert the driver if a towed
trailer crosses into an adjacent lane of
travel. Serious injury or property damage
may occur if the trailer moves into

another lane. Always monitor the trailer
position while towing to make sure it is
within the same lane as the tow vehicle.
How the System Works
LKA uses a camera sensor installed on the
windshield ahead of the rearview mirror to
detect lane markings. It may provide brief
steering assist if it detects an unintended
lane departure. It may further provide an
audible alert or the driver seat may pulse
indicating that a lane marking has been
crossed. The system does not provide a Lane
Departure Warning (LDW) when
intentionally steering across a lane marker.
To turn LKA on and off, press
A
on the
center console. If equipped, the indicator
light on the button comes on when LKA is
on and turns off when LKA is disabled.
When on,
A
is white, if equipped,
indicating that the system is not ready to
assist.
A
is green if LKA is ready to
assist. LKA may assist by gently turning the
steering wheel if the vehicle approaches a
detected lane marking.
A
is amber when
assisting. It may also provide a Lane
Departure Warning (LDW) alert by flashing
A
amber if the vehicle crosses a
detected lane marking. Additionally, there
may be three beeps, or the driver seat may
pulse three times, on the right or left,
depending on the lane departure direction.
Take Steering
The LKA system does not continuously steer
the vehicle. If LKA does not detect active
driver steering, an alert and chime may be
provided. Steer the vehicle to dismiss. LKA
may become temporarily unavailable after
repeated take steering alerts.
When the System Does Not Seem to
Work Properly
The system performance may be
affected by:
.
Close vehicles ahead.
.
Sudden lighting changes, such as when
driving through tunnels.
.
Banked roads.
.
Roads with poor lane markings, such as
two-lane roads.
If the LKA system is not functioning
properly when lane markings are clearly
visible, cleaning the windshield may help.
