Check out Bjorn Nyland's YouTube video...

I must admit that I haven't had much success using mine either.

 

Interesting... the LDWS warning sound when crossing the line is louder in the video than on my 2017 Hybrid. Wonder if that's due to region, drivetrain variant or that mine is only LDWS without LKAS.

 

I bought my car before this feature was available on the Ioniq the US and Canadian markets, but I understand there's an active and passive setting for the LKAS in the Ioniq. Passive, I believe is the default, and only keeps the car from leaving the lane, while Active is meant to keep the car centred in the lane.

 

There are some roads I drive on regularly where the car will steer the corners for me. They have solid white lines down the centre and at the edges. The roads that it works on are few and far between. I find the alarm when you drift over a lane more useful and reliable.

 

Ah, ok, I'm not sure what my car is set on. Probably whatever the default is, I'm assuming the middle position. I will have to change it to Active and see if that helps. Although from the video, it does not seem like it works very well in that case either.

 

One other related question while I'm at it regarding the Adaptive Cruise Control. For the following distance adjustmenet, is there no place to see that unless you put that page in the right side of the LCD screen? I'd like to be able to see what it is set on without having to bring up that page. Again, maybe I'm missing something there.

 

On the centre dash above the cruise control setting there should be 4 blue squares. 4 is the maximum distance and you can see the squares go to 3, 2, and 1 as you press the adjustment button on the steering wheel. (I have mine set on 3 which suits my driving style.)

 

I have my LKAS on Active but I only use it as an aid on dual carriageways/motorways although it is on permanently.

One thing I find odd is how it behaves on rural/town roads. I can be driving on a road with freshly painted lines and the system doesn't kick in yet, I can be driving along a road where the lines probably haven't been painted in my lifetime and it beeps when I pull out to go around a parked car!

 

I did find this odd at times as well. Sometimes on roads I would expect the LDWS to pick up the lines, it doesn't see them, yet on other roads, where I expect it to not see the lines, it does.

However, after a quick look at the manual, I notice the times it didn't see the lines, I was likly travelling below 60 km/h or 37 mph, which are the minimum speeds for the system to work.

 

Yep, on my Canadian Spec HEV Ltd with Type 'A' dash cluster, there is a horizontal representation of 1 or 2 cars (2 if one detected ahead) for 1-4 solid boxes between (depending on distance setting). located at the top of the main page, along with the speed that the SCC is set at.

 

I keep my LKA on the Active setting, it only took a week or so to get used to the gentle tugs on the wheel when it's wrong, and it's a handy feature to have when it's right.

 

I noticed many times over that LKAS actually works better at night when the road is lit by the headlights than in broad daylight. In any case, it tends to fail on road curves unless they are quite mild. I find this system very disappointing. You cannot rely on it even for short periods of time. You need a good, well marked strait stretch of the road ahead to take your hands off the steering wheel for a moment e.g. to fetch the sunglasses.

 

I only trust LKAS to reach for sunglasses on a four lane or larger road. Never on a two lane.

 

I have noticed that for me LKAS is engaging only if the speed of the car is above 50km/h, where it work pretty well. Same is as soon ad you drop bellow the 50km/h the system is disengaged. (But I drive around Vienna, Austria where the lane marking is very good).
What I find worst, is that when LKAS is disengaged, driver gets no warning besides LCAS symbol on dash changing color from green to white. And beeping when crossing the lane cannot be switched off and is annoyingly loud. Here I would prefer vibration feedback which is not available.

 

I tried lane assistance in earnest yesterday and I am not convinced. It pulls me to the nearside which I have to keep correcting. I don’t enjoy the tug of war and I don’t trust it.

 

Yep the LKAS is truly awful compared to the VW system that has been around since 2010!
Ford and Honda (in my experience) are also crud so at least Hyundai is not on their own.
C'mon Korean comrades, steal some of the good tech....

 

Although LKAS is on all the time when I'm driving, I only occasionally notice a tug (mainly to the right) maybe once in an hour of driving. Not really that impressive.

 

On the way to work on they highway the LKA is useless except for the beeps of getting to close to the lines. HOWEVER same road going back home the car practically steers itself, and they are a couple aggressive bends. I like the keep you hands on the wheel warning.

 

Different light conditions on way to work and back home? I suppose you drive to work while it’s dawn or after sunrise, and back home when it’s already night (at least I do, and you’re in neighboring state). I noticed that LKAS works better when the road is lit by headlights. At night it can almost be reliable. At daytime it’s more prone to follow asphalt patch marks from road resurfacing job a few years ago, than painted lane markers.

 

I use it all the time, but I do not depend on it. It think it is right balance of being not very reliable, so you do not grow to depend on it. It does help with line keep routine on highways and small distractions like change station or song.

 

Using it, but not depending on it?

 

It's been hit and miss for me. Sometimes it keeps me steady in the center, like a true auto-pilot. Other times it bounces back and forth between the lines. On a few occasions it let met drift across the line, giving an audible warning but not taking corrective action.

The latter suggests to me that it's capable of more - but deciding not to take action for other reasons, unrelated to line-recognition.

 

Why it does that is because the autosteer works only when both lines (the left and right) are properly detected. The lane departure reacts when you are crossing any line without using the blinker.

 

I use it.

near the end I go through the LKAS options, it may help you

 

I am have found similar issues with late, harsh adjustments. I have seen that it has a more active setting, which may act sooner. Maybe I will have a try some time.

BUT, I also have a serious safety issue with the feature. If I am in the hard shoulder when "Hard Shoulder running" is enabled on a "Smart Motorway", after some junctions, the left hand white line can split with one line crossing the hard shoulder and the other continuing on the edge of the road:

At this point, the LANE KEEP ASSIST, if enabled, tries to steer the car into lane 1.

In my opinion, at this point, it should disengage or follow the lane BETWEEN the two parallel lane edges, but NOT steer the car into lane 1!!!

Does anyone know how to report this to the manufacturer?

 

My general observation was that LKA was very smooth and relaxing in my last vehicle. Overall, it allowed me to keep a light hand or two on the wheel and it would more or less keep me in the lane. It was not foolproof and it could definitely drift into another lane upon occasion. However, overall it was quite a nice collaboration between the car and me. On the Ioniq 5 2024 I feel that I'm having a tug of war with the system. It is constantly making small adjustments and tugs me from one side to the next. On the one hand, it seems to do a better job than my last car at not allowing me to stray into other lanes; however, the compromise is that I don't feel relaxed at all since its behavior is jerky and even nauseating at times. Others have described this motion as "ping pong effect" and I think that's quite apt. I have posted on this elsewhere and am taking the car into the dealership for a diagnostic on possibly calibrating this. For now, it's quite intolerable and I'm assuming that users who like LKA are not experiencing what I am.

 

Ioniq 6 here. The first thing I disconnectet. It's too hard working, nervous and incorrect.

 

No, my car is bad at it, and I had to disconnect. Just another annoying technical invention from Asia.

 

So, I usually keep it at "beep when I drift across but do nothing". When I'm exhausted and need to drive anyways, I'll put her on the highest lane keeping assist option. Not because I trust it, but because the steering wheel moving without my active input will help keep me awake as I fight to keep her on the exact line I want rather than the line Virgil wants to try and hold.

Now that I say this out loud... probably not how LKAS is supposed to run.

 

I had a 2019 Accord hybrid that had assist but it was very jerky and often didnt work. I find th 2024 I6 assist is great, doesnt hunt from side to side and keeps me dead centred. I use it on the freeway mainly
