WHAT IS THE LANE KEEPING
SYSTEM

The lane keeping system alerts you by
providing temporary steering assistance or
steering wheel vibration when it detects an
unintended lane departure.

HOW DOES THE LANE KEEPING
SYSTEM WORK

The lane keeping system uses a forward
looking camera mounted on the windshield
to monitor vehicle movement within the
travel lane.

When the camera detects a drift out of the
travel lane, the lane keeping system alerts
the driver by vibrating the steering wheel, or
aids the driver by providing a small steering
input to move the vehicle back into the travel
lane.

The driver can select one of three modes:

•

Alert (If Equipped)

•

Aid

•

Alert + Aid
