Hyundai Elantra Hybrid 2023 Lane-Keeping Assist

Lane Keeping Assist (LKA), an innovative safety function intended to improve driver confidence and safety, is standard on the 2023 Hyundai Elantra Hybrid. Using camera-based technology, LKA keeps track of the car’s location within its lane and actively helps the driver keep the lane aligned. In order to encourage safer and more controlled driving, the system gently steers the car back into the lane if it detects inadvertent lane departure without the need for turn signals. The 2023 Elantra Hybrid’s LKA functions as a dependable co-pilot, assisting drivers in staying safely in their assigned lanes and lowering the possibility of inadvertent lane departure events.

Lane-Keeping Assist Operation

Warning and Control
Lane Keeping Assist will warn and help control the vehicle with Lane Departure Warning and Lane Keeping Assist.

Lane Departure Warning
To warn the driver that the vehicle is departing from the projected lane in front, the green indicator light will blink on the cluster, the lane line will blink on the cluster depending on which direction the vehicle is veering, and an audible warning will sound. The system will operate when your vehicle speed is between approximately 40-120 mph (60-200 km/h).

Lane Keeping Assist
To warn the driver that the vehicle is departing from the projected lane in front, the green indicator light will blink on the cluster, and the steering wheel will make adjustments to help keep the vehicle inside the lane.  The function will operate when your vehicle speed is between approximately 40-120 mph (60-200 km/h).

Hands-off warning
If the driver takes their hands off the steering wheel for several seconds, the warning message will appear on the cluster, and an audible warning will sound in stages.

WARNING
The steering wheel may not be assisted if the steering wheel is held very tight or the steering wheel is steered over a certain degree. Lane Keeping Assist does not operate at all times. It is the responsibility of the driver to safely steer the vehicle and to maintain the vehicle in its lane. The hands-off warning message may appear late depending on road conditions. Always have your hands on the steering wheel while driving. If the steering wheel is held very lightly, the hands-off warning message may appear because the system may not recognize that the driver has their hands on the steering wheel. If you attach objects to the steering wheel, the hands-off warning may not work properly.

• The steering wheel may feel heavier or lighter when the steering wheel is assisted by Lane Keeping Assist than when it is not.
• The images and colors in the instrument cluster may differ depending on the cluster type or theme selected from the instrument cluster.
