A lane centering system for use in a vehicle driving in a lane on a road includes a lane delimiter detection device having a camera with a field of view that encompasses the road ahead of the vehicle. Based on processing of captured image data, a controller determines the positions of left and right lane delimiters on the road. The controller is operable to establish a target path for the vehicle that maintains the longitudinal centerline of the vehicle generally centered between the left lane delimiter and the right lane delimiter. The controller is automatically activated to control steering the vehicle along the target path when the speed of the vehicle is at or above a first speed level. When having activated control of steering, the controller automatically deactivates control of steering when the speed of the vehicle falls to at or below a second speed level.
