There are 2 symbols on the bottom right of the driver’s screen that refer to LKA and LDA. The manual states they are grey for standby, orange for failure and green for activated. I have both LKA and LDA enabled to ‘assist’ but I have never seen them green only grey and orange. Also I do not feel the nudge when they should be activated. What are others experience?
 
LKA will light up the roadway on the dash to blue, and the steering wheel icon will light up. It seems LKA enable requires two down swipes of the gear selector stalk.
For me, LKA works better than expected. I travel two lane rural roads a lot, some with edge and center lines, and some with center line only. It tracks both remarkably. I also travel a four lane with a concrete barrier separating the two directions. LKA is not perturbed at all.
The shoulder is often crowded with scooters and various three wheeled vehicles. If the opposing lane is clear, LKA will move over a meter or so to give them more space, then smartly move back to the center of the blue road. I rarely drive without it anymore.
