Limitations of the System

The LDWS may operate prematurely
even if the vehicle does not depart
from the intended lane, OR, the
LDWS may not warn you if the vehi-
cle leaves the intended lane under
the following circumstances:
• The lanes ahead are not visible

due to rain, snow, water on the
road, damaged or stained  road
surface, or other factors.

• The brightness outside changes

suddenly such as when entering or
exiting a tunnel.

• The brightness outside is too low

such as when the headlamps are
not on at night or the vehicle is
going through a tunnel.

• The surrounding of the inside rear

view mirror temperature is high
due to direct sunlight.

• It is difficult to distinguish the lane

marking from the road surface or
the lane marking is faded or not
clearly marked.

• Driving on a steep grade, over a

hill, or when driving on a curved
road.

• When light coming from a street

light or an oncoming vehicle is
reflected on a wet road surface
such as a puddle in the road.

• The windshield or the LDWS cam-

era lens is blocked with dirt or
debris.

• The field of view in front is

obstructed by sun glare.

• The lanes are incomplete or the

area is in a construction zone.

• There are more than two lane lines

on the road in front of you.

• The lane line is merged or divided.

(e.g. tollgate) 

• The lane number increases or

decreases or the lane marker are
crossing complicatedly.

• The lane markings are not clearly

visible from the road.

• The lane width is too wide or too

narrow.

• The shadow is on the lane marker

by a median strip.

• The windshield glass is fogged up;

a clear view of the road is obstruct-
ed.

• There are markings on the road

surface that look like a lane line
that is inadvertently being detected
by the camera.

• There is a boundary structure in

the roadway such as a concrete
barrier that is inadvertently being
detected by the camera.

• There is not enough distance

between you and the vehicle in
front to be able to detect the lane
line or the vehicle ahead is driving
on the lane line.

• The adverse road conditions cause

excessive vehicle vibrations while
driving.

The Lane Keeping Assist System
detects lane markers on the road,
and assists the driver's steering to
help keep the vehicle between lanes.
When the system detects the vehicle
straying from its lane, it alerts the
driver with a visual and steering
wheel vibration warning, while apply-
ing a slight counter-steering torque,
trying to prevent the vehicle from
moving out of its lane.

The Lane Keeping Assist
System is not a substitute for
safe driving practices, but a
convenience function only. It is
the responsibility of the driver
to always be aware of the sur-
rounding and steer the vehicle.

WARNING

Take the following precautions
when using the Lane Keeping
Assist System (LKAS):
• The steering wheel is not con-

tinuously controlled so if the
vehicle speed is at a higher
rate when leaving a lane the
vehicle may not be controlled
by the system.

• Do not steer the steering

wheel suddenly when the
steering wheel is being assist-
ed by the system.

• LKAS prevents the driver

from moving out of the lane
unintentionally by assisting
the driver's steering. However,
the driver should not solely
rely on the system but always
pay attention on the steering
wheel to stay in the lane.

• Always check the road condi-

tion and surroundings and be
cautious when the system
cancels, does not operate or
malfunctions.

• The system detects lane lines

and controls the steering
wheel by a camera, therefore,
if the lane lines are hard to
detect, the system may not
work properly.
Please refer to "Limitations of
the system".

• Do not attempt to repair the

LKAS camera and do not
remove any parts.

• Do not place objects that

reflect light on the dashboard
while driving.

Driving your vehicle

LKAS operation

To activate the LKAS:
With the Engine Start/Stop button in
the ON position, press the LKAS but-
ton located on the instrument panel
on the lower left hand side of the
driver. The indicator in the cluster dis-
play will initially illuminate white. This
indicates the LKAS is in the READY
but NOT ENABLED state.

OHI056075

(Continued)
• Do not place any accessories

near the rearview mirror.

• The operation of the LKAS

may be affected by several
factors including environmen-
tal conditions that affect the
ability of the camera to detect
the lanes in front of you. It is
the responsibility of the driver
to pay careful attention to the
roadway and to maintain the
vehicle in its intended lane at
all times.

• Always have your hands on

the steering wheel while the
LKAS system is activated. If
you continue to drive with
your hands off the steering
wheel after the "Keep hands
on steering wheel" warning
message appears, the system
will will stop controlling the
steering wheel.

• Always be cautious when

using the system.

5-99

05

LKAS activation

• The LKAS screen will appear on

the SCC/LKAS screen of the LCD
display if the system is activated.

• When both lane lines are detected

and all the conditions to activate
the LKAS are satisfied, a green
steering wheel indicator will illumi-
nate and the LKAS indicator light
will change from white to green.
This indicates that the LKAS sys-
tem is in the ENABLED state and
the steering wheel will be able to
be controlled.

• If the system detects a lane line,

the color changes from gray to
white.

• If the system detects the left lane

line, the left lane line color will
change from gray to white.

• If the system detects the right lane

line, the right lane line color will
change from gray to white.

• Both lane lines must be detected

for the system to fully activate.

The Lane Keeping Assist
System is a system to prevent
the driver from leaving the lane.
However, the driver should not
solely rely on the system but
always check the road condi-
tions when driving.

LKAS function change

OHI056118L

The driver can change LKAS to Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) or
change the LKAS mode between Standard LKA and Active LKA from the
User Settings mode on the LCD display. The system is automatically set to
Standard LKA if a function is not selected.

Lane Departure 

LDWS alerts the driver with a visual warning and steering wheel vibration
warning when the system detects the vehicle departing the lane. The steering
wheel will not be controlled.

Standard LKA

The Standard LKA mode guides the driver to keep the vehicle within the
lanes. It rarely controls the steering wheel, when the vehicle drives well inside
the lanes. However, it starts to control the steering wheel, when the vehicle is
about to deviate out of the lanes.

Active LKA

The Active LKA mode provides more frequent steering wheel control in com-
parison with the Standard LKA mode. The driver may not feel the onset of the
steering wheel control, because the Active LKA may be constantly controlling
the steering with lighter corrections.

System malfunction

When the "Check System" warning
message appears, the system is not
working properly. In this case, we rec-
ommend you to have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products.

The Driver Attention Alert  system
utilizes the camera sensor on the
front windshield for its operation.
To keep the camera sensor in the
best condition, you should observe
the followings:
• NEVER install any accessories or

stickers on the front windshield,
nor tint the front windshield.

• NEVER locate any reflective

objects (i.e. white paper, mirror)
over the dashboard. Any light
reflection may cause a malfunc-
tion of the Driver Attention Alert
(DAA) system.

• Pay extreme caution to keep the

camera sensor out of water.

• NEVER arbitrarily disassemble

the camera assembly, nor apply
any impact on the camera assem-
bly.

• Playing the vehicle audio sys-

tem at high volume may offset
the Driver Attention Alert sys-
tem warning sounds.

NOTICE

• The Driver Attention Alert sys-

tem is not a substitute for safe
driving practices, but a con-
venience function only. It is the
responsibility of the driver to
always drive cautiously to pre-
vent unexpected and sudden
situations from occurring. Pay
attention to the road condi-
tions at all times.

• The driver, who feels fatigued,

should take a break, even
though there is no break sug-
gestion by the Driver Attention
Alert system.

WARNING

The Driver Attention Alert sys-
tem may not properly operate
with limited alerting in the fol-
lowing situations:
• The lane detection perform-

ance is limited. (For more
information, refer to "Lane
Keeping Assist System
(LKAS)" in this chapter.) 

• The vehicle is violently driven

or is abruptly turned for
obstacle avoidance (e.g. con-
struction area, other vehicles,
fallen objects, bumpy road).

• Forward drivability of the

vehicle is severely under-
mined (possibly due to wide
variation in tire pressures,
uneven tire wear-out, toe-
in/toe-out alignment).

• The vehicle drives on a curvy

road.

• The vehicle drives on a bumpy

road.

• The vehicle drives through a

windy area.

• The vehicle is controlled by

Driving your vehicle

Hazardous driving conditions

When hazardous driving conditions
are encountered such as water,
snow, ice, mud or sand:
Drive cautiously and allow extra dis-
tance for braking.
Avoid sudden movements in braking
or steering.
If stuck in snow, mud, or sand, use
second gear. Accelerate slowly to
avoid spinning the drive wheels.

Use sand, rock salt, or other non-slip
material under the drive wheels to
provide traction when stuck in ice,
snow, or mud.

Rocking the vehicle

If it is necessary to rock the vehicle
to free it from snow, sand, or mud,
first turn the steering wheel right and
left to clear the area around your
front wheels. Then, shift back and
forth between R (Reverse) and a for-
ward gear.
Try to avoid spinning the wheels, and
do not race the engine.
To prevent transmission wear, wait
until the wheels stop spinning before
shifting gears. Release the accelera-
tor pedal while shifting, and press
lightly on the accelerator pedal while
the transmission is in gear. Slowly
spinning the wheels in forward and
reverse directions causes a rocking
motion that may free the vehicle.

Downshifting with an automatic
transmission while driving on
slippery surfaces can cause an
accident. The sudden change in
tire speed could cause the tires
to skid. Be careful when down-
shifting on slippery surfaces.

WARNING

If the tires spin at high speed
the tires can explode, and you
or others may be injured. Do not
attempt this procedure if people
or objects are anywhere near
the vehicle.
The vehicle can overheat caus-
ing an engine compartment fire
or other damage. Spin the
wheels as little as possible and
avoid spinning the wheels at
speeds over 56 km/h (35 mph)
as indicated on the speedome-
ter.
