What does it mean to pause the LKAS prompt tone?
2 Answers
It means turning off the prompt tone when the LKAS is activated. LKAS stands for Lane Keeping Assist System, which is enabled by default when the car starts. The driver can choose to manually turn it off. When the car is driving on a flat road at a speed exceeding 65 kilometers per hour, the camera behind the interior rearview mirror will monitor the relative position between the lane and the vehicle body in real time. Additional information: LKAS is the Lane Keeping Assist System. The LKAS function can be used during high-speed driving. If the car deviates from the normal driving path during operation, the Lane Keeping Assist System will automatically alert the driver, prompting the driver to consciously maintain normal lane driving, thereby ensuring driving safety.
The last time I heard this alert sound was when I was using cruise control on the highway. It felt like the system was saying, 'Now you take over.' LKAS stands for Lane Keeping Assist System, and its operating conditions require the vehicle speed to be above 60 km/h with clear lane markings detected. When the system detects that these conditions are not met—such as when you activate the turn signal to change lanes or the road markings suddenly become unclear—it will automatically pause and emit a 'beep' sound. At this point, the green steering wheel icon on the dashboard will disappear, reminding you that you now need to take full control of the steering. I've driven several cars equipped with this feature, and it often triggers this alert during reversing because the system defaults to inactive at low speeds.
