Lane Keep Assist/Lane Follow Assist EXPLAINED! - Kia Class 

Literally the only person on the internet who can explain this thing

Great job explaining this Peter! It's always nicer when you can explain with pictures.

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.

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.

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.

Great explanation! Thanks to this i now know this functions much better than 3 years ago!

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

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.

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.

I bought a new KIA and was confused about these 2 signs, now I get it, thank you.

I was confused by the two on my 2022 Santa Fe. This cleared it up. Nice detailed explanation.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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. ❤❤❤❤❤

Very helpful!! Thank you!! Very much enjoy your videos.

Today i was confused while driving. Now its clear. Thanks man

Well done Peter, not easy to explain. Thought for a video, our ethe backing up warning for pedestrians and other cars/hazards.

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.

Great explanation ! I have a 21 Sorento and know what they do but couldn't ever really explain it...well done

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.

we just bought a 24 Telluride and just loving it especially the lane centring system!

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 😊

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.

Very helpful. Love these videos!

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.

Awesome explanation!

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🙏

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.

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.

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.

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).

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 have a 2021 sorento in June. LKA and LFA are two confused functions to me before I watch the video. Thank you so much.

Hey Peter! Thanks for teaching me something new about Kias, I really appreciate it!

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?

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.

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.

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.

Wow super helpful explanation

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. 😊

That's helpful! Thanks!

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.

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

Hey Peter I have the 2024 kia seltos xs turbo Is it good to use LFA LKA AND SPEED ASSIST ALL at one time

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!

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.

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.

The kia/Hyundai lane keep assist is one of the best if not the best systems

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

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!

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

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?

Is it possible to have lane follow assist fitted tk my kia tbat has lane keep assist

Does the link keeping assist have trouble seeing the markers in the rain?

What does the button below the minus sign do ( to the right of the steering wheel icon)

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

Thanks for a good explanation, I will try this when I get the opportunity. Do either lane keep or lane follow assist need to be activated to be in cruise mode? Some feature seems to take corners early, so early the warning sounds.

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 ?

gonna try this now

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.

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?

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.

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.

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

Does the 2020 niro ev have lane follow assist?

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.

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

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.

Amazing 👏

Thank you 🙂

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!!

Hi Peter! Love your content! I plan on buying the 2021 Elantra Limited with lane following/HDA. Does this tech keep the car centered in its lane reliabily on the highway? Thanks!

Thanks for the video? I guess this clears up some of the confusion. I assume this the same for hyundai and genesis as well? Also, for the 2015 genesis, there's pre departure mode and post departure mode. Is pre departure mode the equivalent of active lka and post departure mode the equivalent of standard lka? Thanks!

thank you

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

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.

I loved it day 1!

How does the LFA work with the LKA turned off?

Please can someone explain how you change between Lane Keep Assist/Lane Follow Assist?

I have a KIA Niro EV. Doesn't lane follow assist drain the battery?

Very good

Can you please show us how to use the new k5 GPS? Can’t find any addresses here in Canada

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?

Is this why the AEB light turned on as I was parked behind another car with the car running?

Will cars with this and with active cruise control automatically brake to avoid a collision, no matter what system is active or what speed? It took me a while to figure out that in my 2019 Niro, lane keep is inactive at low speeds under 60 km/h. What would be nice at any speed, is lane pothole avoidance!!

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.

How do I find my radio ID so I can set up my Sirius radio subscription ? I can't find it ~

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.

I love KIA’s LKA. It works well on the highways.

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

Great video and explanation on how LKA and LFA were separated and how they both work. Cleared up some questions. I still have one left unanswered, though. I saw a couple of people had asked about this, but months ago when there was no concrete answer. I would love to be able to have LFA on every time I start my car. The manual for my 22 Forte GT Line says that if you enable LFA using the button on the steering wheel, then it will not resume after the car is restarted but goes on to say that if instead you turn on LFA using the system settings then it will. However there is no setting for LFA enabled or disabled in my setup, just for the LKA. Do you have any new updated information about this?

What happens when you are trying to change lanes and you have this feature activated?

I have a 2020 kia soul ev like yours Peter. it says active LKA and not LFA..... i never felt it stir for me below below 60km/h. How do i enable LFA?

If you have to quickly get over into the next lane, say for instance a car brakes quickly in front of you or turns out in front of you, will you be able to steer the car into the next lane if LKA is on? Or will it nudge you back into the lane?

are these features in the 2022 models ? and if there is debris in the road like a tire or something can you steer out of the way of the object/s ???

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.
