LANE KEEPING SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)

WARNING: The system is designed to aid the driver. It is not
intended to replace the driver’s attention and judgment. The

driver is still responsible to drive with due care and attention.

The system detects unintentional drifting toward the outside of the lane
and alerts and/or aids the driver to stay in the lane through the steering
system and instrument cluster display. The system automatically detects
and tracks the road lane markings using a camera that is mounted
behind the interior rear view mirror.

Note: The system needs to be activated by the driver at each key cycle.

Note: The system works above 40 mph (64 km/h).

Note: The system works as long as one lane marking can be detected by
the camera.

Note: If the camera is blocked or if the windshield is damaged, the
system may not function.

Note: When Aid mode is on and the system detects no driver steering
activity for a short period after system activation, the system alerts the
driver to put their hands on the steering wheel. The system may detect a
light touch or grip on the steering wheel as hands-off driving.

Switching the System On and Off

To turn the system on, the button
must be pressed each time the
vehicle is started. The system can
be turned off by pressing the button
again.

Note: The system is defaulted to off each time the vehicle is started,
unless a MyKey® is detected. If a MyKey® is detected, the system is
defaulted to on and the mode is set to Alert.

Note: If a MyKey® is detected, pressing the button will not affect the
on/off status of the system. Only the Mode, Sensitivity and Intensity
settings can be changed when a MyKey® is present.
