Hyundai Sonata: Driving your vehicle / Lane keeping Assist System (LKAS)

The Lane Keeping Assist System helps detect the lane markers on the road with a camera at the front windshield, and assists the driver's steering to help keep the vehicle in the lanes.

When the system detects the vehicle straying from its lane, it alerts the driver with a visual and audible warning, while applying a slight countersteering torque, trying to prevent the vehicle from moving out of its lane.

WARNING

• Driver is responsible for being aware of surroundings and steering the vehicle for safe driving practices.
• Do not steer the steering wheel suddenly when the steering wheel is being assisted by the system.
• LKAS helps prevent the driver from moving out of the lane unintentionally by assisting the driver's steering. However, the system is just a convenience function and the steering wheel is not always controlled. While driving, the driver should pay attention to the steering wheel.
• The operation of the LKAS can be cancelled or not work properly according to road condition and surroundings. Always be cautious when driving.

WARNING

• Do not disassemble LKAS camera temporarily for tinted window or attaching any types of coatings and accessories. If you disassemble a camera and assemble it again, take your vehicle to an authorized HYUNDAI dealer and have the system checked for a calibration.
• When you replace the windshield glass, LKAS camera or related parts of the steering, take your vehicle to an authorized HYUNDAI dealer and have the system checked for a calibration.
• The system detects lane markers and controls the steering wheel by a camera, therefore, if the lane markers are hard to detect, the system may not work properly. Always be cautious when using the system.
• When the lane markers are hard to detect, please refer to "Limitation of the System".
• Do not remove or damage the related parts of LKAS.

WARNING

• Do not place objects on the dashboard that reflects light such as mirrors, white paper, etc. The system may malfunction if the sunlight is reflected.
• Do not place any accessories near the rearview mirror.
• You may not hear warning sound of LKAS because of the excessive audio sound.
• If you continue to drive with your hands off the steering wheel, the LKAS will stop controlling the steering wheel after the hands off alarm. After then, if you drive with your hands on the steering wheel, the control will be activated again.
• If the vehicle speed is high, steering torque for assistance will not be enough to keep your vehicle within the lane. If so, the vehicle may move out of its lane.
• If you attach objects to the steering wheel, the system may not assist steering.
• If you attach objects to the steering wheel, hands off alarm may not work properly.
