    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

LKA too sensitive?

Does anyone else feel that the LKA (especially going around curves) is so sensitive and forceful that it makes you feel as if you're losing control of the car? Also, I had to swerve around a vehicle that suddenly stopped in my lane the other day and it tried to force me back into my lane, nearly causing an accident which I wasn't thrilled about. Wish it could detect a "jerk" as opposed to a "drift".

Yes, it makes the KT feel very unstable, especially going around curves. I turned LKA off day 1. You don’t need it for lane centering (LCA) with SCC because they are completely two different functions.
 
The problem is I turned off LKA and left on HLA but once you get over 40mph HLA kicks in anyway. I may have to just disable them both and only enable HLA when I'm actually going to be on the freeway, which isn't often. Really don't like feeling (unnecessarily) out of control of my car. Good to know about the LCA/SCC, as well.

sorry, what is HLA?
 
Im pretty sure its for Highway Lane Assist, but I am also pretty sure that is not what its actually called?

Correction: The actual function name for lane center (auto steer) is Lane Following Assist (LFA) and this works with the Smart Cruise Control (SCC).

Pretty sure there is nothing called HLA. The closest is Highway Driving Assist (HDA) which is a specific function for automatic speed limit adjustment (on some highways) and works with SCC.

In either case the LKA is a totally independent function.

Have you driven other cars with this feature? I've actually found that Kia does lane keeping better than most companies. I've driven the current Odyssey and it's terrible by comparison.
 
My wife does not use it, but I like using this function even on highways with SCC.
They say Kia and Hyundai are doing better job in LKA/LCA/LFA functions than any others, and I agree.

Exactly! LKA is a physical button you turn on and have the symbol/indicator below.

LFA works with the SCC and has to be activated from the steering wheel via the User Settings--> Driver Assistance-->Driver Assist.

In my Telly LKA comes on automatically when you turn on cruise control. I need to figure out how to turn it off because it ping pong the car from one side of the land to the other, which is annoying.
 
I turned off LKA.....it is annoying. That being said.....i LOVE the Smart Cruise function!!

May I suggest for you to read the post directly above yours (see post #12) 👆, which might help.

The Telluride LKA doesn't ping pong, nor should it. Some cars do though.

I left LKA on but disabled LFA from the Driver Settings and it still turns my wheel especially on curves. Additionally, it doesn't have a steering wheel light that comes on either green or red depending on whether it's enabled as the manual shows above.

Here's a short video that might help. This is on the Palisade (but system is the same for the Telluride), and explains the Lane Following Assist.

You don’t understand how LKA and LFA works.

LKA will “ping-pong steer” when you cross the lane markers. It is an independent function. LKA will not “steer”, it will only nudge you back into lane. That’s why you get the ping-ponging steering and feeling of instability, especially around curves.

LFA will help you steer the KT without ping-ponging, but it only works with the smart cruise control.

Bottom Line: Disable LKA. Enable LFA

What he said. LKA, if enabled, is always on even without cruise on. It's there is case you drift to save you.

LFA is what you use to lane center and track. It does have steering torque limits though. So big curves fall out of the torque range and it temp disables. Drive accordingly.
