provide early warning of upcoming objects that might result in a collision as
well as to apply braking force in the case of an impending collision, a Night
Vision System, Heads Up Display, Blind Spot Monitor, and Lane Keep Assist (LKA)
with Lane Departure Warning (LDW). LKA and LDW provide a small amount of active
steering torque to help maintain course and alert the driver if the system
detects that the vehicle is beginning to drift out of the lane.
