Differences between Pilot Assist* and Lane Keeping Aid

Pilot Assist is a comfort function that can help keep the vehicle in its own lane and maintain the distance to the vehicle in front of you. Lane Keeping Aid (LKA1) is a function that similarly helps in certain situations to reduce the risk of the vehicle unintentionally veering out of its lane.

Pilot Assist

Pilot Assist can help you to steer your vehicle between the lane markings, as well as maintain a preset speed or distance to the vehicle ahead. This function can also help you to maintain an even line on the roadway by keeping track of the lane lines.

What does Pilot Assist do?

  • Can help to keep the vehicle within its lane by assisting steering in some cases.
  • Can help to maintain a preset speed or the distance to the vehicle ahead by means of acceleration and braking operations.

How do I know that Pilot Assist is on?

Symbols in the vehicle's instrument panel let you know when the function is on.

When the steering wheel in the middle is gray, Pilot Assist is on but steering assistance is not active.
