It works either way, you just have to turn it on. Lane centering is turned on with a button on the steering wheel, left side cluster, and is only active when cruise control is on and set. Lane keeping is a safety feature to prevent you from wandering into oncoming traffic or the ditch. Lane centering actively tries to keep your vehicle in the center of the lane, okay slightly left of center in my vehicle's case, but I digress.
If you drive on a highway with no fog line, with lane keep assist on (lane centering won't work without a line on both sides) and you let go of the steering wheel while heading towards the centerline the vehicle will bounce off the yellow line and then head towards the shoulder and unless you correct the vehicle will just go off the road. Give it a try, carefully.

For sure, my suggestion is to test the functionality of the system. The lane keeping assist is just a fail safe for some one that is inattentive. Yes, lane centering only works when it can find the "center" and with cruise control active and set. I am always interested in automated features as everyone keeps thinking self-driving vehicles will be herr soon. I think an autonomous vehicle is still a distant dream. Cheers.
