Kia Picanto: Driver assistance guide / Lane Following Assist (LFA): (if equipped)

For information about precautions related to the front view camera, refer to the section on Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) (Sensor Fusion).

• A change to Warning Methods may affect multiple driver assistance functions. Review the warning settings for each function and adjust them as needed.

• After the vehicle is restarted, the Warning Methods menu retains the most recently selected settings.

• Depending on the Kia Picanto’s equipment, some settings may not be available.

If steering assistance is unavailable, the white indicator () flashes and then changes to grey.

• Steering assistance may not be provided if you grip the steering wheel very firmly or turn it beyond a certain angle.

• Lane Following Assist is not available in every situation. The driver must steer safely and keep the Kia Picanto within its lane at all times.

• Road conditions may delay the hands-off warning. Keep your hands on the steering wheel whenever you are driving.

• If you hold the steering wheel very lightly, the system may not recognise that your hands are on it and may display the hands-off warning.

• Objects attached to the steering wheel may prevent the hands-off warning from working correctly.

• When both lane markings are detected, the lane lines shown on the instrument cluster change from grey to white.

• Instrument cluster graphics and colours may vary with the cluster type or the theme selected in the settings menu.

• The lane lines shown on the instrument cluster may not match the markings on the road exactly.

• If lane markings cannot be detected, steering support may be limited depending on whether a vehicle is ahead and on the Kia Picanto’s driving conditions.

• The driver can steer the vehicle at any time, even while Lane Following Assist is providing steering support.

• The steering wheel may feel heavier or lighter while Lane Following Assist is providing support than it does when the system is not assisting.

• For further information about Lane Following Assist warnings, refer to the section on Lane Keeping Assist (LKA).

• Exceeding the maximum load allowance or placing cargo weight in one concentrated area of the load compartment can affect vehicle stability and reduce the effectiveness of Lane Following Assist.
