LKA function
The LKA function is primarily intended for use on
highways or other major roads with clearly
marked side marker and center lines.

LKA uses the camera located at the center,
upper edge of the windshield to monitor the
road's/lane’s side marker lines.
If the vehicle crosses a side marker line or the
road’s center dividing line, LKA will provide active
steering assistance to help steer it back into the
lane.
The driver will also be alerted by vibrations in the
steering wheel.

Lane Keeping Aid is only intended to assist
the driver and does not function in all driving,
weather, traffic or road conditions.
As the driver, you have full responsibility for
operating the vehicle in a safe manner.
