Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)

What’s the Benefit?

LKAS enhances steering precision and provides a more confident driving experience on narrow roadways.

The Feature:

The Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)¹¹ is designed to assist the driver in maintaining proper lane position when lane markings are identified and no turn signal is in use.

• The system applies mild steering torque to bring the vehicle back to the center of the lane.
• The system, a part of the Honda Sensing suite of active driver-assistive technologies, uses a windshield-mounted camera to look for lane markers, and the electric power steering (EPS) to help steer the vehicle.
• The system is able to identify Botts’ Dots and other lane markings, and works at speeds of between 45 mph and 90 mph.
• If LKAS determines the vehicle is deviating from the center of a detected lane without a turn signal activated, it will attempt to steer the vehicle back into the center of the lane.
• This can be especially useful when traveling on narrow roadways, such as carpool lanes.
• The LKAS system is not intended to take over driving or steering the vehicle.
• LKAS may not detect all lane markings; accuracy will vary based on weather, speed and road condition.
• System operation is affected by extreme interior heat.
• The driver remains responsible for safely operating the vehicle and avoiding collisions.
