LANE KEEPING ASSIST (LKA)
SYSTEM —IF EQUIPPED
The Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) system uses a
camera located on the windshield to detect
the lane limits and calculate the position of the
vehicle within such limits, in order to make
sure that the vehicle remains inside the lane.
This is an active system that will apply torque
to the steering wheel if it senses that the
vehicle is drifting out of the lane.
When one or both lane limits are detected and
the vehicle passes over one without a turn
signal being applied, the system will apply
torque to the steering wheel and a visual
signal will be displayed in the instrument
cluster display. An audible signal may also
sound.
If the vehicle continues to go beyond the lane
line without any driver intervention, the
surpassed lane line (left or right) will light up
on the instrument cluster display to urge the
driver to bring the vehicle back inside the lane
limits.

ment cluster display.

active only until the main reconfigurable area
of the display is activated by pressing the TRIP
button located on the end of the windshield
wiper lever. Refer to “Instrument Cluster
