Kia Niro: Driving your vehicle / Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)
The Lane Keeping Assist System detects lane markers on the road, 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 slight countersteering torque, trying to prevent the vehicle from moving out of its lane.
WARNING
- The steering wheel is not continuously controlled so if the vehicle speed is very fast when leaving a lane the vehicle may not be controlled by the system.
- It is the responsibility of the driver to drive safely.
- Do not steer the steering wheel suddenly when the steering wheel is being assisted by the system.
- LKAS prevents 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.
- Always check the road condition and surroundings and be cautious when the system cancels, does not operate or malfunctions.
- Do not place any accessories, stickers or tint the windshield near the rearview mirror.
- The system detects 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 "Driver's Attention".
- Do not remove any LKAS parts or apply impact.
- Do not place objects on the dashboard that reflects light such as mirrors, white paper, etc. The system may malfunction if the sunlight is reflected.
- Loud audio sounds may interfere with the passenger from hearing warning chimes.
- Always have your hands on the steering wheel while the LKAS system is activated. If you continue to drive with your hands off the steering wheel after the "Hand on" warning, the system will turn off automatically.
- If you drive very fast, the vehicle may stray out of the lane. Always be cautious when using the system.
- When you tow the trailer, make sure that you turn off LKAS function.
