- Lane Keep Assist and Lane Follow Assist are two technologies that are often misunderstood. Kia vehicles implement this tech in different ways than other vehicles, and it has changed a lot over the past few years. In this video, Peter explains the technology so that you can understand it in full, and enjoy the benefits!

Literally the only person on the internet who can explain this thing
My 2021 TELLURIDE is like learning a new computer program!!!
It can be frustrating at times but once you figure it out, it all starts to make sense.
Having these classes really helps, thanks.
Agreed! 🤣
Thanks for watching!
I bought a used 2020 Kia soul GT line. These safety features are beyond excellent. Yesterday I went to move to the lane next to me without my turn signal on and the car ACTIVELY put me back in the current lane. It surprised me but I loved it. This car is always looking out for my safety. And I use my turn signals a lot more now. 😂You’ve done a fantastic job and as you know the GT line from 2020 is awesome but I won’t go on here with the compliments now. Great job KIA! This car is just plain fantastic. And the mileage is great too.
Great job explaining this Peter! It's always nicer when you can explain with pictures.
Thanks for watching!
I miss these so much. When I ordered my Kia Sorento PHEV 2 years ago I used to watch these all the time,e
LKA vs LFA is a bit clearer now. Worth a second viewing. Thank you. I have LKA in the 2019 Niro EV SX Touring. First car I owned with it. Blind spot warning is a good feature to have too.
Thanks for watching.
Great explanation. Owners manual was useless in this case but now it's all clear for me. I use lane keep assist on highways and it works surprisingly well.
Super useful thank you 🙏. I’ve been trying to get my head round the features on my 2023 Sportage - it’s super useful but can seem a little weird at times. Now I understand clearly the difference and the speed on/off action for the one feature that helps a lot. Love my hybrid Sportage.
The kia/Hyundai lane keep assist is one of the best if not the best systems
I completely agree! Thanks for watching!
Kia absolutely has the best LFA LKA system ever, in most vehicles i've used it bounces you back and forth like a ping pong ball. Honda is probably second best execution, unfortunately i'm so used to it now when I drive my Ram that doesn't have it I miss it sorely.
Correct. Just got a 2022 Telluride and my wife didn’t touch the gas or brake for over 100 miles with limited steering wheel input too. All of the systems work seamlessly together.
I bought a new KIA and was confused about these 2 signs, now I get it, thank you.
My 2020 Kia e Niro has both systems but I thought that the lane follow assist worked only when using the adaptive cruise control. Now you have got me thinking so will check to see how the car is set up. Thanks for the classes keep them coming because technically is moving at such a pace and it’s nice when it is explained by yourself.
It does I use it everyday
I have never heard such a convoluted explanation in my life. Before this I understood how lane keeping assist worked on most cars. Now I don't understand anything. Many people understood the concept of both Lane Keep Assist and Lane follow assist, they just wanted to find out how to activate each one in their KIA. I listened to your video and I still don't know how to use either one in my 2024 KIA Forte LXS Sedan.
Well done Peter, not easy to explain. Thought for a video, our ethe backing up warning for pedestrians and other cars/hazards.
Yeah, that's a great idea. I'll try to do that soon.
Thanks for explaining clearly: KIA videos left me confused between LKA and LFA. Reminds me as a kid in the 70's, my GrandPa followed the right lane marker off the highway onto an exit in West Va at 70 mph ! Needless to say, I drove the rest of that trip. Let's hope LFA doesn't do that to me.
Thank you I didn't know the difference for my 2021 Seltos EX. Now I know the difference. It is a great feature for the LFA. I like how it keeps me in the lane. I actually put both features on when on highway though.
2021 seltos has and I love it. I also love the adaptive cruise I do lots of highway driving and it's the best feature couple it up with the assists and it's a dream car.
I agree with you completely. Sometimes I talk about these features and I don't think people realize how much I LOVE these features myself. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you ! I was Woundering the Difference between the LKA and LFA and you AWSNER my question! Thank you now I know that I will go buy my car.
Just took my new 2022 Telluride on a 1000 mile trip and love this feature! Love my new ride! Thanks for these vids! This is a very informative and amazing channel.
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
we just bought a 24 Telluride and just loving it especially the lane centring system!
Thank you so much Peter. I’ve brand new Kia Sportage and I was confused untill watching this video. I didn’t know that lane assist works above 60 km, ı thouhgt there was somthing wrong at my car🙏
This was so helpful thank you! I use adaptive hand controls (and so only steer with one hand as the other is controlling gas/brake) so understanding and being able to use these features on my new kia will help take the strain off my arm 😊
Thank you so much! My mom just bought a new Seltos. I was helping her get it set up and we were both confused. Especially as I couldn't seem to find it anywhere in the manuals. Have a much better understanding of the two functions. Cheers!
Thanks for watching! Feel free to subscribe, we plan a lot of other videos like this.
Thanks Peter. Wife & I are still wading through the inch thick owner’s book. Our local JC does not have a Car Controls 101 course. In my 70s - this is fun (ha ha).
I hear you! I prefer videos over owner's manuals, so that's why I try to make them!
Great and helpful video. I have the 2021 Sorento. My only issues with these features are when they put that snowmelt on the roads(here in the US) it confuses the system thinking it’s road lines. And every time it snows, the front camera gets covered up so the front collision warning shuts down. They should have installed a washer for it.
So what you're describing is the front RADAR plate being blocked by ice, not the camera. The camera is in the windshield, but the error message shows up when the radar plate gets covered in slush. If you wipe it off and re-start the car, it will reset itself and work. Fair point though!
@@BrantfordKia yes. I meant the plate. Funny I kept wiping the camera lol.
Thanks for this! I had a 22 Sienna with Lane Keep Assist which actively centered me and I could drive with no hands. I bought a 22 Prius with Lane Trace Assist and it is as you described and completely ineffective. The nudge back often doesn't work and even a slight bend in the road and you're immediately going off road with little or no correction.
The Lane Keep feature on my Sienna and 23 Outback will work indefinitely if you velcro a one pound weight to the steering wheel at 9 or 3 o'clock to mimic your hand providing counter steer. I do this keeping my arm nearby just in case. Profoundly lowers arm fatigue on long trips.
Great explanation ! I have a 21 Sorento and know what they do but couldn't ever really explain it...well done
Yeah... it's something that has been difficult to explain. Thanks for your kind comment!
Excellent video. I'm a driving instructor and wasn't 100% on how this worked. My main question was how it works if you're changing lanes, which you confirmed with the signal explanation. Thanks
Glad it helped
Today i was confused while driving. Now its clear. Thanks man
Awesome! It's always nice to know that these videos are helpful! Thanks for watching!
This is great, I have owned my cerato gt for one month and had sort of figured this out, but now I understand in detail. Many thanks
Thank you so much. I love how you say it is confusing. The way you explain it to us makes me want my lil KIA now. Yaaaaay... Thank you. ❤❤❤❤❤
Great explanation! Thanks to this i now know this functions much better than 3 years ago!
I was confused by the two on my 2022 Santa Fe. This cleared it up. Nice detailed explanation.
Awesome! I'm glad this helped! Thanks for watching! We'll have a lot more of these Kia/Hyundai Classes in the coming weeks or months, so feel free to subscribe if you think they'll be helpful!
Thank you for the info, never gave it a chance with my 2021 Seltos, but will give it a go with my 2024 Seltos. Easier to listen to you than figure out that manual it came with.
I have a 2021 sorento in June. LKA and LFA are two confused functions to me before I watch the video. Thank you so much.
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!
I have had my 2022 Kia Sorento for a year now and never noticed the Lane Follow Assist button on my steering wheel till yesterday. Lol! Thank you so much for this great explanation it really helped me. Now I want to know what is that other button that’s next to it. Going to go check your other videos to see if I can find it. 😊
It should be the distance setting for your smart cruise control!
Thanks Peter, I just got a Kia Stinger 2022 and in the booklet those 2 systems were not well explained and it was confusing. You made it very clear in this j one. Thanks so much. Always great info, Marco.
Thanks for watching!! We'll do more videos like this in the future!
AHH thanks for info! I really enjoy your videos!! Your videos helped me decide that a 2020 kia forte gtl-ine was the car for me!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Took me a bit to figure these out, as the dealer I bought from in Maryland was of no help. I've found that the 'lane following assist' is great for long trips, as it definitely helps you expend less effort, thus making you less tired. It will allow you to drift from time-to-time, so you still need to actively drive the car, but is a definite 'assist'. For the 'lane keep assist', I do not like it budging me over, but I do like the beep warning, so I turned off the budge option and have mine just give the alarm. This is in a 2021 Seltos. Thanks for the explanation.
Thanks for watching!
Very noce explanation. Now if I can just figure out why my Valet alert warning keeps coming on even though I used the pin number to turn it on. So annoying!
Hey Peter,
Thank you for this explanation. I was already disappointed by the LKS, but now I know to activate the LFA also.
I can imagine that for skeptical people it might be handy to have the LKS/LFA functionality seperated.
Glad you like!
@@BrantfordKia
Now I drove some miles with the LFA activated. Its done really nice, you did a very good Job there.
Is it possible to enable the LFA as default on startup?
My problem with the lane assist is when the line on the right hand side of the road veers to the right where there is a turn off to a side street or road, the car wants to steer in that direction. Turning it off is the only option. And it's more than just a little dangerous. BTW, my car is a 2020 Forte GT line.
Agreed with this. Would be nice if it followed the left lane marker by default.
Also... how hard is it to beep at us when LFA disables. God knows the car beeps at us for everything else!
Hi Peter. I live in northern Minnesota and have a 2021 Aruba green X-Line which is the top trim here in the States. There is a big learning curve on these vehicles and your videos help a lot. I am surprised at all the differences between the Canadian and USA trims.
Yeah, it's interesting to see how the two different countries decide to equip their vehicles. Thanks for watching!
I believe that lane assist is one the most dangerous items fitted to modern cars. I do most of my driving on small country roads & I'm convinced that it will cause serious injury to pedestrians. We should be able to disable it by default.
Oh, I absolutely agree - - I had my first experience with it tonight and if somebody’s working on something on the side of the road, I like to give them a wide berth, but I had to absolutely wrestle the wheel and realized oh I have to notify the car and turn the left blinker on to give somebody a wide birth on my right if they’re on the shoulder
If you have the k5 the button is to the left of the steering wheel next to two other buttons. It’s the middle one and then there’s on your steering wheel shaped like two thirds of a triangle
I have 2022 K-5 GI Line. One of the three the owners manuals is over 800 pages. The dealer should absolutely have a class in how to manage all of the electronic controls involved. My salesman has gone over all of it twice now and I still have trouble remembering and or finding all of the gizmos and gadgets associated with operating the vehicle.
Very frustrating---it shouldn't be this hard.
Great video! One qestion I had is since the LFA uses the car in front of me as a marker, how does it work when there is lane marker. but there is no car ahead of me and I'm driving under 60mph? Does it also "see" the lanes like LKA do? Also as you mentioned, the LKA "bounce you from one lane to the other", how is it different from lane departure warning?
This is really helpful Peter even though I already know how my kia LFA and LKA systems work.
Could you possibly do a future video explaining how Highway Driving assist works ? I've never used it and don't even know how to enable it or on what highways it works on.
I do plan to do a video on Highway Drive Assist, but I'll probably wait until nicer weather. I may need to get some in-car shots while driving to make that video.
@@BrantfordKia Yeah good point ! Weather's not the greatest across Ontario at the moment. It's been really snowy, the car probably won't won't pickup the lane markers.
I love KIA’s LKA. It works well on the highways.
Interesting to see that Kia has evolved the system somewhat. My 2018 Honda Accord Touring 2.0T has all these features; the LKAS (Lane Keep Assist System) and the adaptive cruise are all tied together through the same camera/radar system. Unfortunately, as I have discovered from living here in Colorado, snow is the system's archenemy. Snow/ice buildup on the radar square at the bottom of the front fascia/grille area is inevitable but understandable; there was simply nowhere else to physically locate the millimeter-wave radar and keep it out of the way. But when the snow builds up on the radar, the entire cruise control is disabled and it throws an error message on the multifunction display on the dash.
The Honda LKAS does "rock" me back and forth a bit, but only after being turned on. It will "hunt" for the edges of the lane, but then when it finds them, it settles down. The process takes just a few minutes.
My particular model year has had some programming glitches that cause the adaptive cruise to fail out in traffic. At random times under random situations, the adaptive cruise simply quits and throws an error message on the dash. It's an infrequent glitch in the system, and Honda can't figure it out.
Thanks for the comments - I've had snow build up here too, which causes the system to not turn on. Most days the roads are clear here (after snow removal) so it's only during snow storms that it struggles.
Gosh Peter. You should have made 2 seperate videos on this. Part 1 Before 2021 and Part 2 the latest Re-modeled Kia technology. Make no mistake you have put in a great effort but its mind boggling
Yeah, there's a lot of mind boggling tech in our new vehicles. I was talking with the salespeople here the other day, and I think what's going to happen is you're going to see vehicles start to be treated like smart phones. People will set up the vehicle in one way for themselves, and another way for another driver. The vehicles will be capable of doing 100 things, and we'll all only use 20 features, but which 20 we use may vary between us. That's why it's nice to see that they're setting up "profiles" on the software. You can share the vehicle with someone and with one tap, get all the safety and technology features that you want, while the second driver can do the same.
Hey Peter! Thanks for teaching me something new about Kias, I really appreciate it!
Thanks for watching!
Great video… As you are on the subject referring to the camera in front of the mirror, I’m baffled as to why they or we cannot connect this camara to a recording device and save us the hassle installing one!!
Good night Pete! Thank you finally someone able to explain what Lane keep assist means how important to know of that manual button to push on your console because there for a while I was getting ready to take my vehicle back 2021 Sportage and tell him it's not working well, even though my LKA was on I was not getting any correction because I didn't manually push the button Thanks for helping me I'm going to try this today and more than likely I'm keeping my car.
Thanks for watching!
Hey Peter I have the 2024 kia seltos xs turbo Is it good to use LFA LKA AND SPEED ASSIST ALL at one time
My 2021 UK custom XCeed tends to struggle in my area with rural roads often without marking or odd lines on the road including single track with passing places. I'm still undecided whether I want to keep it on or not because when it works i can feel how helpful it is but a few times on my journey it will disagree with my driving line even though I'm taking the safest position on the road.
I'm interested to know also just how effective the Forward safety assist on these are. I feel like it doesn't warn me soon enough to autobrake or let me react, however I don't really have a way to test this properly. Any info on the Forward assist function would be good. Great video thanks
Very good explanation thanks for the video. I do have a question In the Kia vehicles is the adaptive cruise control , and the lane follow assist different systems? Ie You can turn each one separately on its own? I own a Nissan and with their pro pilot assist both are turned on with one button.
I just purchased a 2023 EV6 GT-Line and I can see how to turn on the lane keep assist and it stays on, but I can't figure out how to turn on the Lane Follow Assist and keep it on. I have to press the button every time I start the vehicle. If I press and hold the button it naturally just turns off the LKA press and hold it again and the LKA is back on. Would really love to keep them both on, like I have it in my 2020 Niro EV EX.
Thanks for the explanation! IDK if its still relevant for 2021 Kia cars but it would be great if in my Niro HEV 2020 the LFA button could toggle the LKA when Active Cruise Control is active xD I got surprised when it didn't! Sometimes the roadworks and temporary line marks on the road can throw the system off and all I want is the part of ACC keeping the distance from the car in front of me.
Your point about people not even trying out the systems is spot on :) I don't get when others complain about the system jerking the wheel - I found the force is pretty low and easy to counter, since - You know, the driver is supposed to keep the hands on the wheel, preferably with at least some grip
Haha! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences!
LKAS is an absolute nightmare on 60km roads in the Netherlands... it already tried twice in 4 days to steer my Kia Ceed into oncoming traffic because it's oblivious to these types of roads having a single lane in the middle with pseudo-bike lanes on the sides you are supposed to use with oncoming traffic. Frickin' system keeps resetting it too when I restart the engine too.. looking into some more drastic means to 'fix' this, because I absolutely loathe any kind of autonomous control.. If I wanted GLaDOS to control my car, I'd drive a Valve...
Very helpful!! Thank you!! Very much enjoy your videos.
It's amazing and literally not even noticable until you take your hands off the wheel and see it steering itself
Yeah, I have a lot of people who are hesitant about it, but I always tell them to try it for a week and see if you can get used to it. Almost every time, they tell me that it's one of their favourite features! Thanks for sharing your experiences!
What happens when you take your hand off the wheel? Does the car "get mad" at you lol? And if so do you know if the wheel is pressure sensitive, or capacitive?
NGL it's 3am and this was the most confusing thing I've ever heard hahaha
LFA needs to make an audible noise when turning off. A light chime would do. It’s soo dangerous if you so happen to take your hands off the wheel. And it turns off. Thankfully it’s only happened once. But it scary. 2:21
2023 Kia Sportage
Shit saved me last night I was falling asleep so bad on the road but was still gliding in my lane 🫶🏾💙 thankfully no one else was out tho
gonna try this now
I hate the Keep Assist correcting my steering in the winter months...it wants to correct when I am on icy roads! I need completed control then. How do I keep the beeps but shut off the auto-correct on the steering? I have a 2023 Sportage
Hi Andrea, If you go to ‘setup’ under your main menu & then ‘vehicle’ you can adjust it from “active assist” to “warning only”
I have a '22 Stinger GT 2 & the LKA button on the dash, down by the fuel door/hatch release doesn't do anything. I have them on the wheel also & those do function correctly, is the button on the dash supposed to be non-functional?
This is the feature that I hate about my 2019 Forte. This is the feature that will make me never buy a Kia again. Cars have 3 task to accomplish; Start, Steer, and Stop. My Kia starts and stoppes very well. The steering is the worst part of ownership. Swerving is the best way to get a DUI and the Lane Assist is always swerving. You are not enjoying your trip if you are fighting the steering wheel the entire trip. I found this to be the deal breaker when I took a 2 day trip from NC to TX.
I didn't know about this feature when I rented a Kia and It really scared me every time it took control of the steering, especially on the winding mountain roads of Colorado where I was on vacation. Not a place where I wanted to feel ike I didn't have control of my car.
It is definitely something that should be briefly explained to people before they drive off. Once you know, it's an incredible feature that makes a long drive easier.
Thank you 🙂
Thanks for watching!
Awesome explanation!
My 2019 kia cerato/forte has the LKA only. What does the green steering wheel mean then?? Its only keeping in lane or is it also centering me?
I have a KIA Niro EV. Doesn't lane follow assist drain the battery?
Is this why the AEB light turned on as I was parked behind another car with the car running?
Great videos ! as english is not my mother tongue it is a little hard to understand when you speek very fast, but then I just play it once more. Another thing: it would be nice if you got a seperate microphone.
Yeah, we're still trying to find a good Bluetooth microphone. I want to be wireless, and my iPhone is the best camera that I have for ease of recording, video quality, and quick focus. So sometimes our quality isn't perfect, but we try to be as good as we can be with our information.
I have a 2023 EV6 Wind AWD. I was expecting LKA/LFA to be like my Hyundai Santa Cruz. But it works terrible. With LKA/LFA on, the car will bounce between lane markers and eventually (20 sec) cross over a lane marker. I went to KIA service and the consultant said the system doesn't work very well and I should not expect the system to keep the car in the center of the lane. It is dangerous to use.
I just got a 2018 Kia Rio Platinum. I do not however have a menu for lane safety and my Kia only warns me when I am about to cross the line of the lane. This means that I do not have an active lane keep assist in my car installed, only the lane departure warning, correct? Thank you very much for your answer!
You explained this well. My salesman literally told me that is uses GPS information to keep me in the lane. Even salesman have no clue.
I have one question, what if I turn off Keep Assist, but turn on Follow Assist? I know it works since I've tried it, but I like to know things at a theoretical level. Does this mean that it's now just going off the car in front of me? What if there is no car?
In that case you'll still see the vehicle follow the lane. (it's always looking for lane markers with either system) I expect that you won't get the beeping noise if you leave a lane. I haven't tried that for any length of time, I'll have to see for myself.
Very helpful. Love these videos!
Thanks for watching! We're going to get back to filming more and more of these soon. Feel free to subscribe.
How do you turn this feature off permanently so that its off when I start the engine? I always turn it off manually on the steering wheel which is annoying but less annoying that lane assist.
Can you please show us how to use the new k5 GPS? Can’t find any addresses here in Canada
That's odd. I haven't used the navigation system in the K5 yet. I'll have to look into that.
really great stuff, we just got a carnival sx prestige and it has so much more tech than my old 2011 soul. I hope you make a video on passenger talk.. it isn't working for our carnival, I think the 3rd row speakers aren't on for some reason
Interesting. If you think it isn't working, you should go back to your dealer. It's pretty simple to use, if you hit the app, and then hit the "Talk now" button or something similar, I can't remember the words) it should work.
This is honestly so confusing! I bet there are thousands of users out there who are missing out on this amazing feature just because of the complicated operation! Poor I mean poor engineering!!
Hows it going my man, how do I get the blind spot monitoring working off my turn signals on my dash, On my 22 Kia Sorento hybrid Ex doesn't give me the option, please help my man
I have a 2023 sportage and I hate driving it because the lane assistance makes me feel like i have no control over the car. It stresses me out. Can i turn that off.
We have curvy roads here it helps but does feel weird.
My 2022 kia forte lxs does both at the same time
How does the LFA work with the LKA turned off?
As a Police Advanced driver both of these features are a pain. Sadly in my 2022 XCeed they have to be switched off every time I start the car as the settings don't allow me to permanently switch them off, like I used to be able to do in all my previous Kias. They default back to 'on' every time I switch the car on..... annoying to say the least.
2024 sportage this works flawlessly
Makes life easier
How do I find my radio ID so I can set up my Sirius radio subscription ? I can't find it ~
With the 2021 Sorento could you go over the voice controls for the physical things in the vehicle like temperature windows, etc. I didn’t know you can control things just with the UVO voice.
Is it possible to have lane follow assist fitted tk my kia tbat has lane keep assist
Just bought a Kia and was driving home. I was shocked when it centered me. 😂
Why doesn't auto hold and follow assist stay on. I have to turn it on everytime when starting a new trip.
What does the button below the minus sign do ( to the right of the steering wheel icon)
Hi Peter ,nice informative video. I am wondering when any of those features on ,can I steer left or right to avoid sudden possible collusion ?? Can I override the assist system ?
Great questions. Steering past the system just feels like driving over a slight hump on the road. You can also turn the system off completely, but signaling your lane change also de-activates the system while you signal. When I use this on my car, if I ever have to cross the lane marker, I just signal my lane change.
I’ve the 2020/21 Kia E Niro 4+ 🇬🇧 that the top of the range model I don’t have the button you mentioned on the steering wheel, I do have the button on the in our case 🇬🇧 right side of the driver on the dash does that mean that both LKA & LFA are together. I think I can turn the two off or on in the driver preference with the buttons on the steering wheel. However thanks for the explanation as I did wonder what the difference was between the two.
You have Lane Keeping Assist which can be set to ACTIVE assist in your menus in the dash. It's not quite as precise as Lane Follow Assist which is the button on the steering wheel.
Does the link keeping assist have trouble seeing the markers in the rain?
