- Lane Keeping Aid can provide the driver with steering assistance, steering the vehicle back into its lane and/or providing warnings using acoustic signals or steering wheel vibration.
An extinguished symbol in the instrument panel means that the function is on but that the conditions for LKA have not been met.
The white symbol in the instrument panel means that the conditions for LKA have been met and that the function is available.
A colored symbol in the instrument panel means that LKA provides steering assistance back into the lane and/or gives a warning with sound or vibration in the steering wheel.
- The function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate driving and help make it safer – it cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather, and road conditions.
- The driver is advised to read all sections in the Manual about this function to learn of its limitations, which the driver must be aware of before using the function.
- Driver support functions are not a substitute for the driver’s attention and judgment. The driver is always responsible for ensuring the vehicle is driven in a safe manner, at the appropriate speed, at an appropriate distance from other vehicles, and in accordance with current traffic rules and regulations.
Lane Keeping Aid
Lake Keeping Aid steers the vehicle back into the lane and/or alerts the driver using vibrations in the steering wheel.
Lane Keeping Aid is active at speeds between 65–200 km/h (40–125 mph) on roads with clearly visible traffic lane marker lines.
On narrow roads, the function may be unavailable and go into standby mode. The function will become available again when the road becomes sufficiently wide.
A camera monitors the road/traffic lane’s marker lines.
Lane Keeping Aid steers the vehicle back into its lane.
Lane Keeping Aid alerts the driver using vibrations in the steering wheel.
Depending on the settings used, Lane Keeping Aid functions in different ways:
- Steering assistance activated: When the vehicle approaches a lane marker line, the function will actively steer the vehicle back into the lane using light pressure on the steering wheel.
- Warning activated: If the vehicle is about to move over a lane marker line, the driver will be alerted by vibrations in the steering wheel.
You can also have steering assistance and alerts activated at the same time.
When the direction indicators/turn signals are activated, the Lane Keeping Aid does not provide any warning or intervene with steering.

In certain cases, such as when a turn signal is used or if the vehicle is allowed to straighten an inside curve, Lane Keeping Aid will not provide steering assistance or alerts.
If the driver’s hands are not on the steering wheel, an audible signal will be given and a message will instruct the driver to actively steer the vehicle:
- Apply steering Lane Keeping Aid
If the driver does not follow the recommendations and begins steering the vehicle, a warning signal will sound until the driver begins steering the vehicle again.
