Lane Keeping Aid (LKA) – limitations
The LKA function is designed to help reduce the risk of accidents in situations where the vehicle unintentionally leaves its lane and there is a risk of driving off the road or into the opposite lane.
The camera used by LKA has the same limitations as the human eye. See The camera’s limitations for more information about the camera's limitations.
Note
In certain cases, it may be difficult for LKA to assist the driver correctly. In the following conditions, it may be preferable to turn LKA off:
- Road construction areas
- Winter road conditions
- Poor road surfaces
- A very sporty driving style
- Bad weather conditions with poor visibility
Warning
Hands on the steering wheel: In order for LKA to function correctly, the driver's hands have to be on the steering wheel, which LKA monitors steadily. If this is not the case, the driver will be alerted by a text message to actively steer the vehicle.
If this is not done, LKA will go into standby mode and will remain disengaged until the driver begins to actively steer the vehicle again.
