Lane Keeping System
WARNING:
You are responsible for controlling your vehicle at all times. The system is designed to be an aid and does not relieve you of your responsibility to drive with due care and attention. Failure to follow this instruction could result in the loss of control of your vehicle, personal injury or death.
WARNING:
Always drive with due care and attention when using and operating the controls and features on your vehicle.
WARNING:
In cold and severe weather conditions the system may not function. Rain, snow and spray can all limit sensor performance.
WARNING:
The system will not operate if the sensor cannot track the road lane markings.
WARNING:
The sensor may incorrectly track lane markings as other structures or objects. This can result in a false or missed warning.
WARNING:
Large contrasts in outside lighting can limit sensor performance.
WARNING:
The system may not operate properly if the sensor is blocked. Keep the windshield free from obstruction.
WARNING:
If damage occurs in the immediate area surrounding the sensor, have your vehicle checked as soon as possible.
WARNING:
The system may not correctly operate if your vehicle is fitted with a suspension kit not approved by us. |
Note:
The system works above
40 mph (64 km/h).
Note:
The system works as long as the camera can detect one lane marking.
Note:
The system may not function with a blocked camera, or with a damaged or dirty windshield.
Note:
When you select aid or both modes and the system detects no steering activity for a short period, the system alerts you to put your hands on the steering wheel. The system may detect a light grip or touch on the steering wheel as hands off driving.
When you switch the system on and it detects an unintentional drift out of your lane is likely to occur, the system notifies or assists you to stay in your lane through the steering system and information display. In Alert mode, if your vehicle comes with it, the system provides a warning by vibrating the steering wheel. In Aid mode, the system provides steering assistance by gently counter steering your vehicle back into the lane.
When the system is functioning in the combined Alert and Aid mode, the system first provides steering assistance by gently counter steering your vehicle back into the lane, followed by a warning by vibrating the steering wheel if the vehicle is still out of the lane markings.
Switching the System On and Off
Press the button on the direction indicator stalk to switch the system on or off.
Note:
The system on or off setting remains stored until you manually change it unless the system detects a MyKey. If the system detects a MyKey, it defaults to on and the mode sets to alert, if your vehicle comes with it.
System Settings
The system allows you to change the Mode and Intensity settings. See
Settings.
The system stores the last-known selection for each of these settings. You do not need to readjust your settings each time you switch on the system.
Mode: This setting allows you to select which of the system features you can enable.
Alert only, if your vehicle comes with it – Provides a steering wheel vibration when the system detects an unintended lane departure.
Aid only – Provides steering assistance toward the lane center when the system detects an unintended lane departure.
A Alert.B Aid. |
Alert + Aid – Provides steering assistance toward the lane center.
If your vehicle continues drifting out of the lane after the lane keeping aid corrects the vehicle, the system provides a steering wheel vibration.
Note:
The alert and aid diagrams illustrate general zone coverage. They do not provide exact zone parameters.
Intensity: This setting affects the intensity of the steering wheel vibration used for the alert, if your vehicle comes with it, and alert + aid modes. This setting does not affect the aid mode.
- Low.
- Normal.
- High.
System Display
If you switch the system on, a graphic with lane markings appears in the information display.
Note:
Graphics can vary depending on the instrument cluster available in your vehicle.
If you have adaptive cruise control enabled and you are following a vehicle, additional graphics appear in the display.
When you switch off the system, the lane marking graphics do not display.
When the system is on, the color of the lane markings changes to indicate the system status.
Gray: Indicates that the system is temporarily unable to provide a warning or intervention on the indicated side. This may be because:
- Your vehicle is under the activation speed.
- The direction indicator is active.
- Your vehicle is in a dynamic maneuver.
- The road has no or poor lane markings in the camera field-of-view.
- You have a blocked camera, or it is unable to detect the lane markings due to environmental, traffic or vehicle conditions. For example, significant sun angles, shadows, snow, heavy rain or fog, following a large vehicle that is blocking or shadowing the lane or poor headlamp illumination.
See Troubleshooting for additional information.
Green: Indicates that the system is available or ready to provide a warning or intervention, on the indicated side.
Yellow or Animated Graphics: Indicate that the system is providing or has just provided a lane keeping aid intervention.
Red: Indicates that the system is providing or has just provided a lane keeping alert warning.
You can temporarily suppress the system at any time by the following:
- Quick braking.
- Fast acceleration.
- Using the direction indicator.
- Evasive steering maneuver.
- Driving too close to the lane markings.
