What is Lane Keeping Assist?

2022 Honda HR-V LaneWatch

 

Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) is a Honda Sensing® driver-assistive feature that helps the driver stay in the center of the lane. That said, if the system recognizes you drifting from your lane without using turn indicators, it will apply steering when needed. Learn how the Lane Keeping Assist System works below with Spitzer Honda DuBois!

 

 

How Does Lane Keeping Assist Work?

Are you wondering, “How does Lane Keeping Assist work?” This system works in conjunction with Traffic Jam Assist and uses a camera to detect lane markings, though it may not detect all lane markings as accuracy will vary depending on weather, speed, and road conditions. The camera detects and monitors left and right, white or yellow traffic lane lines. If LKAS detects you’re drifting without a turn signal, it can apply mild steering torque to get you back to the center of the lane. This technology will come in handy when traveling in the Philipsburg area.

Other Honda Sensing® Features

It’s important to stay within your lane when driving around St. Marys and Clearfield, but that’s not the only thing you should do when you’re out and about. That’s why Honda Sensing® features other technologies to give you peace of mind and lend a hand when needed! Some of these features include:

  • Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC): Helps to maintain a safe following distance to the car in front of you.
  • Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™): Will detect a potential collision with the vehicle ahead of you and automatically apply the brakes if needed.
  • Road Departure Mitigation System (RDM): Can detect road markings and alert you if your vehicle starts to leave the road.
