Kia Cadenza: LFA operation / Warning message

Keep hands on steering wheel

If the driver takes their hands off the steering wheel for several seconds while LFA is activated, the system will warn the driver.

✽ NOTICE

• Hands-off warnings may be delayed depending on road conditions. Always keep your hands on the steering wheel while driving.
• Hold the steering wheel tight. Otherwise, LFA could misjudge that the driver hands off the wheel, and a hands-off warning may occur.

WARNING

The warning message may appear late according to road conditions. Therefore, always have your hands on the steering wheel while driving.

Driving Convenience systems canceled

If the driver still does not have their hands on the steering wheel after the message "Keep hands on steering wheel", the system will not control the steering wheel and warn the driver only when the driver crosses the lane markers.

However, if the driver has their hands on the steering wheel again, the system will start controlling the steering wheel.

WARNING

• LFA is a supplemental system only. It is the responsibility of the driver to safely steer the vehicle and to maintain it in its lane.
• Turn off LFA and drive without using the system in the following situations:
  - In bad weather
  - In bad road conditions
  - When the steering wheel needs to be controlled by the driver frequently.
  - When towing a vehicle or trailer

✽ NOTICE

• Even though the steering is assisted by the system, the driver may control the steering wheel.
