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.

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.
(Continued)
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,

Warning (Continued)
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.
