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 (Traction & Stability control
disabled).
If the warning light remains ON when
the FCA is activated, have the sys-
tem checked by an authorized retail-
er of Genesis Branded products.
The driver can select the initial warn-
ing activation time in the User
Settings in the LCD display.
Go to the 'User Settings →Driver
Assistance →Forward Collision
Warning →Early/Normal/Late'.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 maximizes the
amount of distance between the
vehicle or pedestrian ahead before
the initial warning occurs.
Normal:
When this condition is selected,
the initial Forward Collision
Warning is activated normally. This
setting allows for a nominal
amount of distance between the
vehicle or pedestrian ahead before
the initial warning occurs.
Late:
When this condition is selected,
the initial Forward Collision
Warning is activated later than nor-
mal.
This setting reduces the amount of
distance between the vehicle or
pedestrian ahead before the initial
warning occurs.

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.
- To enable the system to detect
pedestrians ahead, the vehicle
driving speed must be between 5
mph – 45 mph (8 km/h – 70 km/h).
- To enable the system to detect a
vehicle ahead, the vehicle driving
speed must be between 5 mph –
110 mph (8 km/h – 180 km/h).
When traveling above 50 mph (80
km/h), the FCA system only initiates
partial braking. This is to prevent
unintended full braking to stop in the
middle of the highway.
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.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 canceling
the system setting on the LCD
display.
The FCA automatically deacti-
vates upon canceling the ESC
(Electronic Stability Control).
When the ESC is canceled,
the FCA cannot be activated
on the LCD display.

Driving your vehicle
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 (1stwarning)
This initial warning message
appears on the LCD display and the
head up display (if equipped) with a
warning chime.
Collision Warning (2ndwarning)
This warning message appears on
the LCD display and the head up dis-
play (if equipped) with a warning
chime.
Additionally, some vehicle system
intervention occurs by the engine
management system to help decel-
erate the vehicle.
- Your vehicle speed may decelerate
moderately.
- The FCA system limitedly controls
the brakes to preemptively mitigate
impact in a collision.
Emergency braking (3rdwarning)
This warning message appears on
the LCD display and the head up dis-
play (if equipped) 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 maximized just before a
collision.

When the FCA is not working prop-
erly, the FCA warning light ( )
will illuminate and the warning
message will appear for a few sec-
onds. After the message disap-
pears, the master warning light

(Continued)
If the front bumper becomes
damaged in the area around
the radar sensor, the FCA sys-
tem may not operate properly.
We recommend you to have
the vehicle inspected by an
authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products.
Use only Genesis/Hyundai
Part to repair or replace a
damaged sensor or sensor
cover. Do not apply paint to
the sensor cover.
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 prematurely. This ini-
tial 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.

Vehicle speed following the front
vehicle to maintain the set distance
is normal
Slow:
Vehicle speed following the front
vehicle to maintain the set distance
is slower than normal speed.✽ ✽

Follow either of these procedures:
Push the toggle switch up (RES+),
and hold it. Your vehicle set speed
will increase by approximately 5
mph (10 km/h). Release the toggle
switch at the speed you want.
Push the toggle switch up (RES+),
and release it immediately. The
cruising speed will increase by
approximately 1.0 mph (1.0 km/h)
each time you move the toggle
switch up in this manner.
You can set the speed to 120 mph
(200 km/h).

Radar blocked
When the sensor lens cover is
blocked with dirt, snow, or debris, the
Smart Cruise Control System opera-
tion may stop temporarily. If this
occurs, a warning message will
appear on the LCD display. Remove
any dirt, snow, or debris and clean
the radar sensor lens cover before
operating the Smart Cruise Control
System. The Smart Cruise Control
system may not properly activate, if
the radar is totally contaminated, or if
any substance is not detected after
turning on the engine (e.g. in an

Check Smart Cruise Control
System
The message will appear when the
Vehicle-to-Vehicle distance control
system is not functioning normally.
Take your vehicle to an authorized
retailer of Genesis Branded products
and have the system checked.
Do not install accessories
around the sensor and do not
replace the bumper by your-
self. It may interfere with the
sensor performance.
Always keep the sensor and
bumper clean.
To prevent sensor cover dam-
age from occurring, wash the
car with a soft cloth. Do not
spray pressurized water
directly on the sensor or sen-
sor cover.
Do not paint the sensor cover.
Do not damage the sensor or
sensor area by a strong
impact. If the sensor moves
slightly off position, the Smart
