Lane assistance*
Lane Keeping Aid is one of the functions in the
Driver Alert System - sometimes also referred to
as LKA (Lane Keeping Aid).
The function is intended for use on motorways
and similar major roads in order to reduce the
risk of the vehicle accidentally leaving its own
lane in certain situations.
A camera reads the painted side lines of the
road/lane. If the car is about to cross a side line
then Lane Keeping Aid will actively steer the car
back into the lane with a slight steering torque in
the steering wheel.
If the car reaches or crosses a side line then
Lane Keeping Aid will also alert the driver with
vibration in the steering wheel.
WARNING
LKA is merely a driver's aid and does not
engage in all driving situations or traffic,
weather or road conditions.
The driver always bears ultimate responsibility
for ensuring that the vehicle is driven safely
and that applicable laws and road traffic regu-
lations are followed.

Off & On
Lane Keeping Aid is active within the speed

is instead operated in the car's menu system MY
