Lane centering assistance

Description

The system is active and centers the vehicle in its lane.

How this technology works

Lane centering assistance systems help drivers keep their vehicle centered in the lane by providing steering support. The system is actively engaged and provides automatic steering to continually center the vehicle in its lane.

This technology differs from lane keeping assistance which only activates when the vehicle is close to or crossing a lane line.

Operation

These systems use forward-facing cameras to identify the lane markings around the vehicle.

They usually activate via a button on the steering wheel that shows a steering wheel within lane lines.
