trailer, bicycle, or object extending out to either side of the vehicle. Attached objects may also interfere with the

detection of vehicles. This is normal

system operation; the vehicle does not need service.

LCA may not always alert the driver to vehicles in the next lane over,

especially in wet conditions or when driving on sharp curves. The system does not need to be serviced. The

system may light up due to guardrails, signs, trees, shrubs, and other

non-moving objects. This is normal

system operation; the vehicle does not need service.

LCA may not operate when the LCA sensors in the left or right corners of the rear bumper are covered with

mud, dirt, snow, ice, or slush, or in heavy rainstorms. For cleaning

instructions, see "Washing the

Vehicle" under Exterior Care 0 388. If the DIC still displays the system unavailable message after cleaning

both sides of the vehicle toward the rear corners of the vehicle, see your dealer.

If the LCA displays do not light up

when moving vehicles are in the side blind zone or are rapidly approaching this zone and the system is clean, the system may need service. Take the

vehicle to your dealer.

Radio Frequency Information

See Radio Frequency Statement 0 426.

Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

If equipped, LDW may help avoid crashes due to unintentional lane

departures. It may provide a warning if the vehicle is crossing a detected

lane marking without using a turn

signal in the lane departure direction. Since this system is part of the Lane Keep Assist (LKA) system, read the

entire LKA section before using this feature.

Lane Keep Assist (LKA)

If equipped, LKA may help avoid crashes due to unintentional lane

departures. It may assist by gently turning the steering wheel if the

vehicle approaches a detected lane

marking without using a turn signal in that direction. It may also provide a

Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

system alert as the lane marking is crossed. The LKA system will not

assist or provide an LDW alert if it

detects that you are actively steering. Override LKA by turning the steering wheel. LKA uses a camera to detect

lane markings between 60 km/h

(37 mph) and 180 km/h (112 mph).

{ Warning

The LKA system does not

continuously steer the vehicle.

It may not keep the vehicle in the lane or give a Lane Departure

Warning (LDW) alert, even if a lane marking is detected.

The LKA and LDW systems may not:

. Provide an alert or enough

steering assist to avoid a lane departure or crash.

278 DRIVING AND OPERATING


Warning (Continued)

. Detect lane markings under poor weather or visibility

conditions. This can occur if the windshield or headlamps are blocked by dirt, snow,

or ice, if they are not in

proper condition, or if the sun shines directly into the

camera.

. Detect road edges.

. Detect lanes on winding or hilly roads.

If LKA only detects lane markings on one side of the road, it will only assist or provide an LDW alert

when approaching the lane on the side where it has detected a lane

marking. Even with LKA and LDW, you must steer the vehicle. Always

keep your attention on the road and maintain proper vehicle position

within the lane, or vehicle damage,

injury, or death could occur. Always keep the windshield, headlamps,

and camera sensors clean and in

good repair. Do not use LKA in bad weather conditions.

{ Warning

Using LKA while towing a trailer or on slippery roads could cause loss of control of the vehicle and a

crash. Turn the system off.


How the System Works

The LKA camera sensor is on the windshield ahead of the rearview mirror.

To turn LKA on and off, press A

on the center stack.


LKA Indicator Light

When on, the LKA indicator is green if LKA is available to assist and provide

LDW alerts. It may assist by gently

turning the steering wheel and display amber if the vehicle approaches a

detected lane marking without using a turn signal in that direction. It may

also provide an LDW alert by flashing amber as the lane marking is crossed.

Additionally, there may be three

beeps, or the driver seat may pulse three times, on the right or left,

depending on the lane departure direction.

Take Steering

The LKA system does not

continuously steer the vehicle. If LKA does not detect active driver steering, an alert, chime, or DIC message may be provided. Steer the vehicle to

dismiss.
