When Lane Keeping Assist is not working properly, the "Check Driver Assistance system." warning message may appear, and the X or yellow S warning light may illuminate on the instrument cluster. Have your vehicle inspected by an authorized retailer of Genesis Branded products.

Lane Keeping Assist disabled

2C_LKADisableInfo

If the front view camera or front radar is covered or blocked, its detecting performance is reduced, and Lane Keeping Assist may be temporarily limited or disabled.

The "Driver Assistance system limited. Camera obscured." warning message may appear, and the X or S warning light may illuminate on the instrument cluster.

The function operates normally when such foreign material is removed, and the engine is restarted.

If Lane Keeping Assist does not operate normally after the sensor has been uncovered or unblocked, have your vehicle inspected by an authorized retailer of Genesis Branded products.

  • Lane Keeping Assist may not operate properly even if there is no warning message or warning light on the instrument cluster.

  • If the vehicle is turned off and restarted while the camera is blocked or malfunctioned, the condition is maintained and may not operate properly.

Detecting sensors

Refer to the "Driver Assistance System Sensors" section in this chapter for the location and the general precautions of the front view camera.

Limitations of Lane Keeping Assist

Lane Keeping Assist may not operate normally or may operate unexpectedly if:

  • The lane is difficult to distinguish because:

    • The lane markings (or road edge) are damaged or covered with rain, snow, dirt, oil, etc.

    • The color of the lane marking (or road edge) is not distinguishable from the road.

    • There are markings (or road edges) on the road or near the lane that looks similar to the lane markings (or road edge)

    • The lane markings are covered by the shadow of objects around the road, such as median strip, guardrails, noise barriers, and trees.

    • The Lane marking (or road edge) is indistinct or damaged

  • The lane number increases or decreases, or the lane markings (or road edges) are crossing.

  • There are more than two lane markings (or road edges) on the road.

  • The lane markings (or road edges) are complicated or a structure substitutes for the lines, such as a construction area or tollbooth area.

  • There are road markings, such as zigzag lanes, crosswalk markings and road signs.

  • The lane suddenly disappears, such as at the intersection.

  • The lane (or road width) is very wide or narrow.

  • There is a road edge without a lane.

  • There is a boundary structure in the road, such as sidewalk or curb.

  • The distance to the front vehicle is extremely short or the vehicle in front is covering the lane marking (or road edge).

For more information on the limitations of the front view camera, refer to the "Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA)" section in this chapter.

  • Always monitor your vehicle speed and the distance to vehicles ahead on the road. Lane Keeping Assist is not a substitute for safe driving practices, but a supplemental function only.

  • Lane Keeping Assist may be canceled or may not work properly depending on the road conditions and the surroundings.

  • When you are towing a trailer or another vehicle, turn off Lane Keeping Assist.

  • If your vehicle is driven at high speed, Lane Keeping Assist may not steer the vehicle.

  • When other system’s warning message appears or audible warning is heard, Lane Keeping Assist may not warn you.

  • You may not hear the audible warning of Lane Keeping Assist if the surrounding is noisy.

  • If you attach objects to the steering wheel, steering may not be assisted properly.

  • Lane Keeping Assist may not operate for 15 seconds right after your vehicle is started or when the front view camera is initialized.

  • Lane Keeping Assist does not operate when:

    • Either the turn signal or hazard warning flasher is turned on.

    • Your vehicle is not driven in the center of the lane after turning on Lane Keeping Assist or after changing lanes.

    • ESC (Electronic Stability Control) or VSM (Vehicle Stability Management) is controlling the brake force to the wheels.

    • Your vehicle is driven on sharp curves.

    • You drive at a speed of 3 mph (5 km/h) or less or 6 mph (10 km/h) or more than the operating speed of the Lane Keeping Assist.

    • Your vehicle makes sharp lane changes.

    • Your vehicle brakes suddenly.

  • Loading in excess of the maximum load allowance or concentrated loading at one point in the cargo compartment can reduce the vehicle's driving stability, which can in turn reduce the effectiveness of Lane Keeping Assist.
