When Lane Keeping Assist is not working properly, the warning message will appear and the yellow () indicator light will illuminate on the cluster. If this occurs, have the function checked by a professional workshop. Kia recommends to visit an authorised Kia dealer/service partner.

When the front windshield where the front view camera is located, is covered with foreign material, such as snow or rain, it can reduce the detecting performance and temporarily limit or disable Lane Keeping Assist.

If this occurs, the warning message, the master warning light and the Lane Safety warning lights will appear on the cluster. However, it is not a malfunction. Lane Keeping Assist will operate properly when snow, rain or foreign material is removed. Always keep it clean.

If Lane Keeping Assist does not operate properly after obstruction (snow, rain, or foreign material) is removed (including trailer, carrier, etc. from the rear bumper), have the vehicle checked by a professional workshop. Kia recommends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
