Driving your vehicle
The Forward Collision-avoidance
Assist (FCA) system is designed to
help detect and monitor the vehicle
ahead or detect a pedestrian (if
equipped) in the roadway through
radar signals and camera recognition
to warn the driver that a collision is
imminent, and if necessary, apply
emergency braking.
System setting and activation
System setting
• The driver can activate the FCA by placing the ignition switch to the
ON position and by selecting:
"User Settings → Driver assistance
→ Forward Collision-avoidance
Assist (FCA)"
The FCA deactivates, when the driv-
er cancels the system setting. The warning light illumi-
nates on the LCD display,
when you cancel the FCA
system. The driver can
monitor the FCA ON/OFF status on
the LCD display. Also, the warning
light illuminates when the ESC
(Electronic Stability Control) is
turned off. If the warning light
remains ON when the FCA is acti-
vated, we recommend that you have
the system checked by a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer.
FORWARD COLLISION-AVOIDANCE ASSIST (FCA) SYSTEM
- SENSOR FUSION TYPE (FRONT RADAR + FRONT CAMERA) (
II F EQUIPPED)
Take the following precautions
when using the Forward
Collision-avoidance Assist
(FCA) system:
•This system is only a supple-
mental system and it is not
intended to, nor does it
replace the need for extreme
care and attention of the driv-
er. The sensing range and
objects detectable by the sen-
sors are limited. Pay attention
to the road conditions at all
times.
•NEVER drive too fast in accor-
dance with the road condi-
tions or whilst cornering.
•Always drive cautiously to
prevent unexpected and sud-
den situations from occur-
ring. FCA does not stop the
vehicle completely and is not
a collision avoidance system.

• The driver can select the initial warn-ing activation time on the LCD dis-
play.
Go to the "User Settings → Driver
assistance →Forward Collision
Warning →Late/Normal/Early".
The options for the initial Forward
Collision Warning includes the fol-
lowing:
- Early: When this condition is selected,
the initial Forward Collision
Warning is activated earlier than
normal. This setting maximises the
amount of distance between the
vehicle or pedestrian ahead before
the initial warning occurs.
Even though, 'Early' is selected if
the front vehicle suddenly stops
the initial warning activation time
may not seem fast.
If you feel the warning activates too
early, set the Forward Collision
Warning to "Normal". - Normal:
When 'Normal' is selected, the ini-
tial Forward Collision Warning is
activated normally. This setting
allows for a nominal amount of dis-
tance between the vehicle or
pedestrian ahead before the initial
warning occurs.
- Late: When 'Late' is selected, the initial
Forward Collision Warning is acti-
vated later than normal. This set-
ting reduces the amount of dis-
tance between the vehicle or
pedestrian ahead before the initial
warning occurs.
Select 'Late' when traffic is light
and when driving speed is slow.Prerequisite for activation
The FCA gets ready to be activated,
when the FCA is selected on the
LCD display, and when the following
prerequisites are satisfied.
- The ESC (Electronic Stability Control) is on.
- Vehicle speed is over 6 mph (10 km/h). (The FCA is only activated
within a certain speed range.)
- The system detects a pedestrian or a vehicle in front, which may col-
lide with your vehicle. (The FCA
may not be activated or may sound
a warning alarm in accordance
with the driving situation or vehicle
condition.)

FCA warning message and
system control
The FCA produces warning mes-
sages and warning alarms in accor-
dance with the collision risk levels,
such as abrupt stopping of the vehi-
cle in front, insufficient braking dis-
tance, or pedestrian detection. Also,
it controls the brakes in accordance
with the collision risk levels.
The driver can select the initial warn-
ing activation time in the User
Settings in the LCD display. The
options for the initial Forward
Collision Warning include Early,
Normal or Late initial warning time.
Collision warning (First warning)
This warning message appears on
the LCD display with a warning
chime. Additionally, some vehicle
system intervention occurs by the
engine management system to help
decelerate the vehicle.
- Your vehicle speed may decelerate moderately.
- The FCA system limitedly controls the brakes to preemptively mitigate
impact in a collision.
•Completely stop the vehicle
on a safe location before
operating the switch on the
steering wheel to activate/
deactivate the FCA system.
•The FCA automatically acti-
vates upon placing the Engine
Start/Stop button to the ON
position. The driver can deac-
tivate the FCA by cancelling
the system setting on the LCD
display.
•The FCA automatically deacti-
vates upon cancelling the
ESC (Electronic Stability
Control). When the ESC is
cancelled, the FCA cannot be
activated on the LCD display.
The FCA warning light will
illuminate which is normal.

Emergency braking (Second warning)
This warning message appears on
the LCD display with a warning
chime.
Additionally, some vehicle system
intervention occurs by the engine
management system to help decel-
erate the vehicle.
- The FCA system limitedly controls
the brakes to preemptively mitigate
impact in a collision. The brake
control is maximised just before a
collision.
Brake operation
• In an urgent situation, the brakingsystem enters into the ready status
for prompt reaction against the dri-
ver's depressing the brake pedal.
• The FCA provides additional brak- ing power for optimum braking per-
formance, when the driver
depresses the brake pedal.
• The braking control is automatical- ly deactivated, when the driver
sharply depresses the accelerator
pedal, or when the driver abruptly
operates the steering wheel.
• The FCA brake control is automat- ically cancelled, when risk factors
disappear.
OOS057017AU
The driver should always use
extreme caution whilst operat-
ing the vehicle, whether or not
there is a warning message or
alarm from the FCA system.
CAUTION
The braking control cannot
completely stop the vehicle nor
avoid all collisions. The driver
should hold the responsibility
to safely drive and control the
vehicle.
WARNING
Never deliberately drive danger-
ously to activate the system.
WARNING
The FCA system logic operates
within certain parameters, such
as the distance from the vehicle
or pedestrian ahead, the speed
of the vehicle ahead, and the
driver's vehicle speed. Certain
conditions such as inclement
weather and road conditions
may affect the operation of the
FCA system.
WARNING

FCA sensor
In order for the FCA system to oper-
ate properly, always make sure the
sensor cover or sensor is clean and
free of dirt, snow, and debris.Dirt, snow, or foreign substances on
the lens may adversely affect the
sensing performance of the sensor.
• Do not apply license plate mold-
ing or foreign objects such as a
bumper sticker or a bumper
guard near the radar sensor.
Doing so may adversely affect
the sensing performance of the
radar.
• Always keep the radar sensor and cover clean and free of dirt
and debris.
• Use only a soft cloth to wash the vehicle. Do not spray pres-
surised water directly on the
sensor or sensor cover. • Be careful not to apply unneces-
sary force on the radar sensor or
sensor cover. If the sensor is
forcibly moved out of proper
alignment, the FCA system may
not operate correctly. In this
case, a warning message may
not be displayed. Have the vehi-
cle inspected by a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer.
• If the front bumper becomes damaged in the area around the
radar sensor, the FCA system
may not operate properly. We
recommend that you have the
vehicle inspected by a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer.
• Use only genuine parts to repair or replace a damaged sensor or
sensor cover. Do not apply paint
to the sensor cover.

over the dashboard. Any light
reflection may cause a malfunc-
tion of the system.
• Pay extreme caution to keep the camera out of water.
• NEVER arbitrarily disassemble the camera assembly, nor apply
any impact on the camera
assembly.
• Playing the vehicle audio sys- tem at high volume may offset
the system warning sounds.
Information
We recommend that you have the sys-
tem checked by a HYUNDAI autho-
rised repairer when:
• The windscreen glass is replaced.
• The radar sensor or cover gets dam-aged or replaced.
Warning message and warninglight

Driving your vehicle
• The FCA warning message may appear along with the illumination
of the ESC (Electronic Stability
Control) warning light.
•The FCA is only a supplemen-
tal system for the driver's con-
venience. The driver should
hold the responsibility to con-
trol the vehicle operation. Do
not solely depend on the FCA
system. Rather, maintain a
safe braking distance, and, if
necessary, depress the brake
pedal to reduce the driving
speed.
•In certain instances and
under certain driving condi-
tions, the FCA system may
activate unintentionally. This
initial warning message
appears on the LCD display
with a warning chime.
Also, in certain instances the
front radar sensor or camera
recognition system may not
detect the vehicle or pedestri-
an ahead. The FCA system
may not activate and the
warning message will not be
displayed.
•Even if there is any problem
with the brake control func-
tion of the FCA system, the
vehicle's basic braking per-
formance will operate normal-
ly. However, brake control
function for avoiding collision
will not activate.
•If the vehicle in front stops
suddenly, you may have less
control of the brake system.
Therefore, always keep a safe
distance between your vehicle
and the vehicle in front of you.
•The FCA system may activate
during braking and the vehi-
cle may stop suddenly shift-
ing loose objects toward the
passengers. Always keep
loose objects secured.
WARNING
•The FCA system may not acti-
vate if the driver applies the
brake pedal to avoid a colli-
sion.
•The brake control may be
insufficient, possibly causing
a collision, if a vehicle in front
abruptly stops. Always pay
extreme caution.
•Occupants may get injured, if
the vehicle abruptly stops by
the activated FCA system. Pay
extreme caution.
•The FCA system operates
only to detect vehicles or
pedestrians in front of the
vehicle.

Limitations of the system
The Forward Collision avoidance
assist (FCA) systemsystem is
designed to monitor the vehicle ahead
or a pedestrian in the roadway through
radar signals and camera recognition
to warn the driver that a collision is
imminent, and if necessary, apply
emergency braking.
In certain situations, the radar sen-
sor or the camera may not be able to
detect the vehicle or pedestrian
ahead. In these cases, the FCA sys-
tem may not operate normally. The
driver must pay careful attention in
the following situations where the
FCA operation may be limited.
Detecting vehicles
The sensor may be limited when:
• The radar sensor or camera is blocked with a foreign object or
debris
• The camera lens is contaminated due to tinted, filmed or coated
windscreen, damaged glass, or
stuck of foreign matter (sticker,
bug, etc.) on the glass
• Inclement weather such as heavy rain or snow obscures the field of
view of the radar sensor or camera
• There is interference by electro- magnetic waves
• There is severe irregular reflection from the radar sensor
• The radar/camera sensor recogni- tion is limited
• The vehicle in front is too small to be detected (for example a motor-
cycle or a bicycle, etc.)
• The vehicle in front is an oversize vehicle or trailer that is too big to
be detected by the camera recog-
nition system (for example a tractor
trailer, etc.)
•The FCA system does not
operate when the vehicle is in
reverse.
•The FCA system is not
designed to detect other
objects on the road such as
animals.
•The FCA system does not
detect vehicles in the oppo-
site lane.
•The FCA system does not
detect cross traffic vehicles
that are approaching.
•The FCA system cannot detect
the driver approaching the
side view of a parked vehicle
(for example on a dead end
street.)
In these cases, you must main-
tain a safe braking distance,
and if necessary, depress the
brake pedal to reduce the driv-
ing speed in order to maintain a
safe distance.
