You know that Lane Keep Assist is designed to prevent you from drifting out of your lane, but how exactly does it work? If you become drowsy or distracted while driving in Chicago, Lane Keep Assist alerts you if the car begins to drift out of its lane when no turn signal has been switched on. Here’s how:

• A windshield-mounted camera detects lane markings.
• Electronic power steering helps to guide the vehicle.
• For Lane Keep Assist to work, the vehicle must be driving 45-90 mph. Brakes, turn signals, and wipers also cannot be operating.
• A lane must be detected, and the driver must be steering with both hands.
• If the vehicle leaves its lane, the steering wheel vibrates and a warning message appears.
