Kia Stinger: Windshield Wiper/Washer / Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)
LKA (Lane Keeping Assist) : The system is designed to help recognize the lane ahead and to give off a lane departure warning when the vehicle starts moving out of the lane by using the camera image and vehicle signal information.
High Beam Assist (HBA) : Detects head lamp and tail lamp lights of vehicle ahead and turns the high beam ON/OFF.
Intelligent Speed Limit Warning (ISLW) : Detects traffic signs by using the camera and displays the speed limit by using the map data from navigation.
It supports Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) systems.
System Activation Conditions

HBA is not activated in daytime even if the activation conditions are satisfied.
In nighttime, HBA detects the preceding vehicle’s lamp light and automatically turns the high beam on or off.
Activation conditions for DAA are as follows:
The function should be enabled on the User Setting Menu (USM) of the cluster.
The function should be enabled and the vehicle speed should be 60 km/h — 175 km/h.
Repair procedures
This procedure provides a way to calibrate the camera by having the service technician align the car to a well lit simulated straight road target; preferably wall mounted.
The LKA camera will have a «System Out of Calibration» DTC set if not operating within specified tolerances.
The LKA will be supplied for field service replacement with the «System Calibration Required / Variant Coding Error» DTC set if it is a replacement part delivered directly from supplier manufacturing.
Guidelines for Selecting a Suitable Target
In order for LKA Service Calibration-Static routine to complete successfully, the following conditions are required:
Target (SST : 09890-3V100) surface is perpendicular to the camera in both horizontal and vertical orientations to maintain maximum of 1° roll.
Target to be mounted to rigid backer material to maintain flatness requirements.
Target has reflective (not faded or poorly painted) markings that are unlike from lane features.
Target is 30 cm wide and 100 cm tall.
Mounting area must NOT have cross hatch patterns or textual markings near the target.
Target should be well lit for optimal performance using non-fluctuating illumination. There shall be no continuous shadows cast on the target.
Service Point Target Auto Calibration Procedure
It is recommended to check vehicle toe-in and tire pressure levels to ensure proper alignment of the camera to the «world» before proceeding with calibration. The vehicle to run the calibration routine is to be at nominal production loading capacity.
Windshield must be clean and silk-screen checked so that there is no blockage of the camera.
Service technician connects the diagnostic connector and starts the vehicle. The camera module should not be activated by pressing the switch.
The service calibration routine may not run correctly if any system level fault is active.
If working with a replacement ECU: the service technician initiates the SPTAC Reset configuration.
Service technician either aligns the vehicle to the target or the target to the vehicle.
Bottom of the target is 90 ± 1 cm (35.4 ± 0.4 in.) from the ground and aligned with the camera lens horizontal axis.
The target (A) is placed along the vehicle’s longitudinal axis (centerline) within ±3 cm (±1.2 in.) of target center. (Horizontal deviation (B) : ±3 cm (±1.2 in.))
The positon of target (A) in short distance is 0 ± 5 cm (0 ± 2 in.) (B) in front of front bumper.
The positon of target (A) in long distance is 100 ± 5 cm (39.4 ± 2 in.) (B) in front of front bumper.
The tolerance angle of target in horizontal direction is ± 10°.
The tolerance angle of target in vertical direction is ± 5°.
The tolerance angle of target in facade center is ±1°.
The LKA may not activate properly in the following conditions.
In case lane is not visible due to glare or heavy rain.
In case the road is covered with snow.
In case puddle on the road surface reflects street light or head light from oncoming vehicle.
In case there is blocking object such as sidewalk on the side of the road.
In case there is trace of more than one lane due to road repair.
In case the distance with vehicle in front is very short.
Be sure to perform test drive to check for normal operation after performing optical angle test.
Drive on straight road (of longer than 500 m) with 2 white or yellow lane marks at speed of over 64 km/h (40 mph), and check for the alert as you intentionally steer close to the lane mark.
LKA operates properly if the lane mark segment space is less than 8 m.
LKA activates at vehicle speed above 64 km/h (40 mph).
Perform test drive on car-only road or on a highway.
The lane keeping assist (LKA) may not operate in the following conditions:
Lane lines are not visible due to rain, snow, dust, puddles, wet road surface or debris.
The brightness outside the vehicle suddenly changes, for example, when entering a tunnel.
The head lamp is not used or the light is too weak at night or while in a tunnel.
The lane lines are not distinguishable from the road.

The lane keeping assist (LKA) prevents lane departures and helps the driver with steering, but the driver must not rely on the LKA, make a decision for safety on their own, and take necessary measures.
This system warns the driver about unintended lane departures and assists the driver in case of any lane departure.
Drivers are responsible for controlling their vehicle in order to drive safely.
Do not turn the steering wheel too rapidly when the system sounds the alarm.
This system is not activated when the vehicle speed is 60 km/h or less or the system fails to detect the lane lines.
Do not tint or put stickers or accessories on the windshield around the rear view mirror.
Keep the installation part of LKA dry.
Do not remove or give an impact on LKA parts.
Do not place reflective materials such as white paper or a mirror on the dashboard. They may cause malfunction due to reflected sunlight.
Excessive noises may prevent the driver from hearing the LKA alarm sound.
Kia Stinger: Driving your vehicle / Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) system
The Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) system is designed to detect the lane markers on the road with a front view camera at the front windshield, and assists the driver’s steering to help keep the vehicle in the lanes.
When the system detects the vehicle straying from its lane, it alerts the driver with a visual and audible warning, while applying a slight countersteering torque, trying to prevent the vehicle from moving out of its lane.
Do not turn the steering wheel suddenly when the vehicle is being directed by the LKA system. This can result in a sudden loss of control and crash of the vehicle.
The Lane Keeping Assist system is a supplemental system and is not a substitute for safe driving practices. It is the responsibility of the driver to always pay attention and drive safely.
Driver is responsible for being aware of surroundings and steering the vehicle, and safe driving practices.
- Do not disassemble the front view camera temporarily for tinted windows or attaching any types of coatings and accessories. If you disassemble the camera and assemble it again, take your vehicle to an authorized Kia dealer and have the system checked.
- When you replace the windshield glass, front view camera or system, take your vehicle to an authorized Kia dealer and have the system checked.
- The system is designed to detect lane markers using a front view camera. If the lane markers are hard to detect, then the system may be limited. Always be cautious when using the system.
- When the lane markers are hard to detect, please refer to “Driver’s Attention”.
- Do not remove or damage the related parts of LKA system.
- Do not place objects on the dashboard that reflect light such as mirrors, white paper, etc. This may prevent the system from functioning.
- You may not hear warning sound of LKA system because of excessive audio sound.
- If you drive with your hands off the steering wheel, the LKA system will stop controlling the steering wheel after the hands off alarm. Afterwards, if you drive with your hands on the steering wheel, the control will be activated again.
- If the vehicle speed is high, steering torque for assistance will not be enough to keep your vehicle within the lane. If so, the vehicle may move out of its lane. Obey speed limit when using LKA system.
- If you attach objects to the steering wheel, the system may not assist steering.
- If you attach objects to the steering wheel, hands off alarm may not work properly.
