How Does Lane Keep Assist Work?

The primary function of the Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) is to alert you when your vehicle begins to drift from its lane. So, how does Lane Keep Assist work? The system features a sensor camera mounted behind the rearview mirror that scans road markings and relays visual and tactile alerts to notify you if your vehicle starts to leave its lane without signaling. As the vehicle begins to drift, a warning appears in the multi-information display, and the steering wheel vibrates to alert you. The Lane Keeping Assist System can also automatically adjust the steering to help keep the car centered in its lane.

Can I Turn Lane Keep Assist Off?

Yes, you can deactivate the Lane Keeping Assist System whenever you like. Here’s how:

• Press the MAIN button on the steering wheel until you see LKAS on the multi-information display.
• Press LKAS.
• You’ll see lane outlines on the display (dotted lines turn solid when the system is ready).
• Press the MAIN or LKAS button to turn off the system.
