The Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) system helps detect lane markers on the road with a front view camera at the front windshield, and assists the driver's steering to help keep the vehicle between lanes.

When the system detects the vehicle straying from its lane, it alerts the driver with a visual and audible warning, while applying a counter-steering torque, to try to prevent the vehicle from moving out of its lane.

WARNING

The Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) system is not a substitute for safe driving practices, but a convenience function only. It is the responsibility of the driver to always be aware of the surroundings and steer the vehicle.

WARNING

Take the following precautions when using the Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) system:

• Do not turn the steering wheel suddenly when the steering wheel is being assisted by the system.
• LKA system helps to prevent the driver from moving out of the lane unintentionally by assisting the driver's steering. However, the driver should not solely rely on the system but always pay attention on the steering wheel to stay in the lane.
• The operation of the LKA system can be canceled or not work properly according to road condition and surroundings. Always be cautious when driving.
• Do not disassemble the LKA system camera temporarily to tint the window or attach any types of coatings and accessories. If you disassemble the camera and assemble it again, take your vehicle to an authorized HYUNDAI dealer and have the system checked for calibration.
• When you replace the windshield glass, LKA system camera or related parts of the steering wheel, take your vehicle to an authorized HYUNDAI dealer and have the system checked for calibration.
• The system helps detect 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 "Limitations of the system".
• Do not remove or damage the related parts of LKA system.
• You may not hear a warning sound of LKA system if the audio volume is high.
• If any other warning sound such as seat belt warning chime is already generated, the Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) system warning may not sound.
• Do not place objects on the dashboard that reflects light such as mirrors, white paper, etc. This may prevent the LKA system from functioning properly.
• Always have your hands on the steering wheel while the LKA system is activated. Also, when Active LKA is selected from the User Settings mode and if you continue to drive with your hands off the steering wheel after the "Keep hands on steering wheel" warning message appears, the system will stop controlling the steering wheel. However, if the driver has their hands on the steering wheel again, the system will start controlling the steering wheel.
• The steering wheel is not continuously controlled so if the vehicle speed is at a higher speed when leaving a lane the vehicle may not be able to be controlled by the system. The driver must always follow the speed limit when using the system.
• If you attach objects to the steering wheel, the system may not assist steering or the hands off alarm may not work properly. When you tow a trailer, make sure that you turn off the LKA system.

LKA System Operation

To activate/deactivate the LKA system:

With the ignition switch in the ON position, press the LKA system switch located on the instrument panel on the left hand side of the steering wheel. The indicator in the cluster display will initially illuminate white. This indicates the LKA system is in the READY but NOT ENABLED state.

If you press the LKA button again, the indicator on the switch and cluster display will go off.

Note that the vehicle speed must be at least approximately 40 mph (64 km/h) to ENABLE the LKA system. The indicator in the cluster will illuminate green.

The color of indicator will change depending on the condition of LKA system.

- White : Sensor does not detect lane markers or vehicle speed is under 40 mph (64 km/h).
- Green : Sensor detects lane markers and the system is able to control vehicle steering.

Information

If the indicator (white) is activated from the previous ignition cycle, the system will turn ON without any additional control. If you press the LKA switch again, the indicator on the cluster goes off.

LKA system operation

• To see the LKA system screen on the LCD display in the cluster, select Assist mode (). For more details, refer to "LCD Display Modes" in chapter 3.

• If vehicle speed is over 40 mph (64 km/h) and the system detects lane markers, the color changes from gray to white.
• Both lane markers must be detected for the system to fully activate.
• If your vehicle departs from the projected lane in front of you, the LKA system operates as follows:

1.A visual warning appears on the cluster LCD display. Either the left lane marker or the right lane marker in the cluster LCD display will blink depending on which direction the vehicle is veering. Also, a warning sound will be heard.

2.The LKA system will control the vehicle's steering to prevent the vehicle from crossing the lane maker in below conditions.

- Vehicle speed is over 40 mph (64 km/h)
- The system detects both lane markers
- When driving, the vehicle is located between both lanes normally.
- The steering wheel is not turned suddenly.

When lanes are detected and all the conditions to activate the LKA system are satisfied, a LKA system indicator light will change from white to green. This indicates that the LKA system is in the ENABLED state and the steering wheel will be controlled.

Warning Light and Message

Keep hands on steering wheel

If the driver takes their hands off the steering wheel for several seconds while the LKA system is activated, the system will warn the driver.

Information

If the steering wheel is held very lightly, the message may still appear because the LKA system may not recognize that the driver has their hands on the wheel.

WARNING

The warning message may appear late according to road conditions. Therefore, always have your hands on the steering wheel while driving.

Driver's grasp not detected. LKA system will be disabled temporarily

If the driver still does not have their hands on the steering wheel after the message "Keep hands on steering wheel", the system will not control the steering wheel and warn the driver only when the driver crosses the lane markers.

However, if the driver has their hands on the steering wheel again, the system will start controlling the steering wheel.

This warning message is available when Active LKA is selected from the User Settings mode.

WARNING

• The LKA system is a supplemental system only. It is the responsibility of the driver to safely steer the vehicle and to maintain it in its lane.
• Turn off the LKA system and drive without using the system in the following situations:
  - In bad weather
  - In bad road conditions
  - When the steering wheel needs to be controlled by the driver frequently.
  - When towing a vehicle or trailer

Information

• Even though the steering is assisted by the system, the driver can still steer to control the steering wheel.
• The steering wheel may feel heavier when the steering wheel is assisted by the system than when it is not.

Check Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) system

If there is a problem with the system a message will appear for a few seconds. If the problem continues the LKA system failure indicator will illuminate.

LKA system indicator

The LKA system indicator (yellow) will illuminate if the LKA system is not working properly. Have your vehicle checked by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

When there is a problem with the system do one of the following:

• Turn the system on after turning the engine off and on again.
• Check if the ignition switch is in the ON position.
• Check if the system is affected by the weather. (ex: fog, heavy rain, etc.)
• Check if there is foreign matter on the camera lens.

If the problem is not solved, have your vehicle checked by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

The LKA system will not be in the ENABLED state and/or the steering wheel will not be assisted when:

• The turn signal is turned on before changing a lane. If you change lanes without the turn signal on, the steering wheel might be controlled.
• The vehicle is not driven in the middle of the lane when the system is turned on or right after changing a lane.
• ESC (Electronic Stability Control) or VSM (Vehicle Stability Management) is activated.
• The vehicle is driven on a sharp curve.
• Vehicle speed is below 40 mph (64 km/h) and over 110 mph (177 km/h).
• The vehicle makes sharp lane changes.
• The vehicle brakes suddenly.
• The lane is very wide or narrow.
• There are more than two lane markers on the road. (e.g. construction area)
• Only one side of the lane marker is detected.
• Radius of a curve is too small.
• The vehicle is driven on a steep incline.
• The steering wheel is turned suddenly.
• Driving on a steep slope or hill.

Limitations of the System

The LKA system may operate prematurely even if the vehicle does not depart from the intended lane, OR, the LKA system may not warn you if the vehicle leaves the intended lane under the following circumstances:

When the lane and road conditions are poor

• It is difficult to distinguish the lane marker from the road because the lane marker is covered with dust or sand.
• It is difficult to distinguish the color of the lane marker from the road.
• There are markings on the road surface that look like a lane marker that is inadvertently being detected by the camera.
• The lane marker is indistinct or damaged.
• The lane marker is merged or divided (e.g. tollgate).
• The lane number increases or decreases or the lane marker are crossing complicatedly.
• There are more than two lane markers on the road in front of you.
• The lane marker is very thick or thin.
• The lane is very wide or narrow.
• The lane marker ahead is not visible due to rain, snow, water on the road, damaged or stained road surface, or other factors.
• The shadow is on the lane marker by a median strip, trees, guardrail, noise barriers, etc.
• The lane markers are complicated or a structure substitutes for the lines such as a construction area.
• There are crosswalk signs or other symbols on the road.
• The lane marker in a tunnel is stained with oil, etc.
• The lane suddenly disappears such as at the intersection.

When external condition is intervened

• The brightness outside changes suddenly such as when entering or exiting a tunnel, or when passing under a bridge.
• The brightness outside is too low such as when the headlamps are not on at night or the vehicle is going through a tunnel.
• There is a boundary structure in the roadway such as a concrete barrier, guardrail and reflector post that is inadvertently being detected by the camera.
• When light coming from a street light or an oncoming vehicle is reflected on a wet road surface such as a puddle in the road.
• The field of view in front is obstructed by sun glare.
• There is not enough distance between you and the vehicle in front to be able to detect the lane marker or the vehicle ahead is driving on the lane marker.
• Driving on a steep grade, over a hill, or when driving on a curved road.
• The adverse road conditions cause excessive vehicle vibrations while driving.
• The surrounding of the inside rear view mirror temperature is high due to direct sunlight, etc.

When front visibility is poor

• The windshield or the camera lens is blocked with dirt or debris.
• The windshield glass is fogged up; a clear view of the road is obstructed.
• Placing objects on the dashboard, etc.
• The sensor cannot detect the lane because of fog, heavy rain or snow.

WARNING

The Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) system is a system to help prevent 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 practices.

LKA System Function Change

The driver can change LKA to Lane Departure Warning from the LCD display. Go to the 'User Settings → Driver Assistance → Lane Safety → Active LKA/Lane Keeping Assist /Lane Departure Warning/Off'.

Active LKA

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

Standard LKA

This mode guides the driver to help 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 out of the lane.

Lane Departure Warning

LDW system alerts the driver with a visual warning and a warning alarm when the system detects the vehicle departing the lane. The steering wheel will not be controlled.

Off

If you select "Off", the LKA system is deactivated.
