Lane Centering Assistance

WHAT IT DOES

Think of it as going one step further from Lane Keeping Assist. Whereas Lane Keeping Assist puts you back on track if you drift toward the edge of a lane, Lane Centering Assistance prevents you from drifting in the first place.

THE TECHNOLOGY BEHIND IT

This feature relies on detecting painted lane markings. This is a Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance System – it steers and brakes subtly, as necessary, in order to maintain a position in between lane markings while you remain in complete control of the car.

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO

Pay attention to the road, because if lane markings change or become difficult to see, then the system may not work. If you need to change lanes, or otherwise want to cancel the assistance, then turn on your indicator and drive as you normally would to override the system. (If you do not use your indicator, the system may “fight” to keep you centered in your lane.) Remember, it is not driving the car for you. It will not steer around obstructions or stopped vehicles.

IMPORTANT

• Lane Centering Assistance may not work if lane lines are worn down or covered in dirt, water, or snow.
• This feature may deactivate if your hands do not remain on the wheel.
• This is not a “self-driving” feature. It performs one task – keeping you in the middle of marked lanes. If your car also has adaptive cruise control, then the two features can work together to maintain speed, or to speed up or slow down, while also keeping you centered in your lane.
