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.

Hi all,

I have really been underwhelmed by the functionality of the Lane Keep Assist feature. It simply doesn't work well at all in keeping the car in the lane. Is it just mine? I also have a Honda Clarity with Lane Keep Assist, and that works pretty well. The two cars are actually very opposite in the way they behave. The Honda is not very good at being able to identify the lane in other than ideal conditions. They system suspends itself quickly whenever there is any issue at all with the lane markings. The Ioniq actually better in this sense. It seems to do a pretty good job at recognizing lanes. When the Honda can identify the lane however, it's almost perfect at keeping the car dead center in the lane. You never have to correct it. The Ioniq simply does a very poor job at that. It constantly drifts then corrects, and many times it can't correct quickly enough and the car goes out of it's lane. Is yours better? I'm thinking maybe I don't have something set correctly. Do you find the feature useful?

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

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

The first to disconnect before a drive.

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.

Yes, and very violent too. Me, alone on a small road in the middle of the night, had a "fight" to go off for another road.
I did not use the blinker, the sinner I am!😥

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

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?

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.

 

[Bafatt Vahetere]

I think it suggests that Lane Keep Assist and Lane Departure Warning systems (LKAS/LDW) are implemented as independent systems by Hyundai. To add weight to this assumption is the fact that 2017 models had LDW but no LKAS. Switching on a blinker just shuts down both systems until the blinker is switched off. Nothing bizarre about it.
It’s true that LKAS often fails to such degree, that the car drifts off the lane and LDW is activated. I guess it’s easier to detect crossing lane markers than steering the car reliably to keep within them.
Altogether Hyundai did not do a good job with LKAS, barely satisfactory. It’s better than nothing, though.
BTW, I wish the lane departure alarm volume was adjustable. I’d like it to be higher while driving long weary miles at night.

In your car, maybe. In my Ioniq 6 no, please.

I mean, we are in the Ioniq EV section, not the Ioniq 6 section shrugs

Sorry, if I spoiled your day.
I'll move to the I6 "section". 👺

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
