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) systemis designed to
monitor the vehicle ahead or a pedes-
trian in the roadway through radar sig-
nals 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.
WARNING

5-76
Driving your vehicle
The driver's field of view is not well illuminated (either too dark or too
much reflection or too much back-
light that obscures the field of view)
The vehicle in front does not have their rear lights properly turned ON.
The outside brightness changes suddenly, for example when enter-
ing or exiting a tunnel
When light coming from a street light or an oncoming vehicle is
reflected on a wet road surface
such as a puddle in the road
The field of view in front is obstruct- ed by sun glare
The windscreen glass is fogged up; a clear view of the road is obstruct-
ed
The vehicle in front is driving errati- cally
The vehicle is on unpaved or uneven rough surfaces, or road
with sudden gradient changes.
The vehicle is driven near areas containing metal substances as a
construction zone, railroad, etc. The vehicle drives inside a building,
such as a basement parking lot
The adverse road conditions cause excessive vehicle vibrations whilst
driving
The sensor recognition changes suddenly when passing over a
speed bump
The vehicle in front is moving verti- cally to the driving direction
The vehicle in front is stopped ver- tically
The vehicle in front is driving towards your vehicle or reversing
You are on a roundabout and the vehicle in front circles - Driving on a curve
The performance of the FCA system
may be limited when driving on a
curved road.
On curved roads, the other vehicle
on the same lane is not recognised
and the FCA system's performance
may be degraded. This may result in
unnecessary alarm or braking or no
alarm or braking when necessary.
Also, in certain instances the front
radar sensor or camera recognition
system may not detect the vehicle
travelling on a curved road.
In these cases, the driver must main-
tain a safe braking distance, and if
necessary, depress the brake pedal
to reduce your driving speed in order
to maintain a safe distance.

The FCA system may recognise a
vehicle in the next lane when driving
on a curved road.
In this case, the system may unnec-
essarily alarm the driver and apply
the brake.
Always pay attention to road and
driving conditions, whilst driving. If
necessary, depress the brake pedal
to reduce your driving speed in order
to maintain a safe distance.
Also, when necessary depress the
accelerator pedal to prevent the sys-
tem from unnecessarily decelerating
your vehicle.
Check to be sure that the road con-
ditions permit safe operation of FCA.- Driving on a slope
The performance of the FCA decreas-
es whilst driving upward or downward
on a slope, not recognising the vehi-
cle in front in the same lane. It may
unnecessarily produce the warning
message and the warning alarm, or it
may not produce the warning mes-
sage and the warning alarm at all.
When the FCA suddenly recognises
the vehicle in front whilst passing
over a slope, you may experience
sharp deceleration.
Always keep your eyes forward whilst
driving upward or downward on a
slope, and, if necessary, depress the
brake pedal to reduce your driving
speed in order to maintain distance.- Changing lanes
When a vehicle changes lanes in
front of you, the FCA system may not
immediately detect the vehicle, espe-
cially if the vehicle changes lanes
abruptly. In this case, you must main-
tain a safe braking distance, and if
necessary, depress the brake pedal
to reduce your driving speed in order
to maintain a safe distance.

5-78
Driving your vehicle
When driving in stop-and-go traffic,
and a stopped vehicle in front of you
merges out of the lane, the FCA sys-
tem may not immediately detect the
new vehicle that is now in front of
you. In this case, you must maintain
a safe braking distance, and if nec-
essary, depress the brake pedal to
reduce your driving speed in order to
maintain a safe distance. - Detecting the vehicle in front of you
If the vehicle in front of you has cargo
that extends rearward from the cab,
or when the vehicle in front of you
has higher ground clearance, addi-
tional special attention is required.
The FCA system may not be able to
detect the cargo extending from the
vehicle. In these instances, you must
maintain a safe braking distance
from the rearmost object, and if nec-
essary, depress the brake pedal to
reduce your driving speed in order to
maintain distance.
Detecting pedestrians
The sensor may be limited when:
The pedestrian is not fully detected
by the camera recognition system,
for example, if the pedestrian is
leaning over or is not fully walking
upright
The pedestrian is moving very quickly or appears abruptly in the
camera detection area
The pedestrian is wearing clothing that easily blends into the back-
ground, making it difficult to be
detected by the camera recogni-
tion system
The outside lighting is too bright (e.g. when driving in bright sunlight
or in sun glare) or too dark (e.g.
when driving on a dark rural road
at night)
It is difficult to detect and distin- guish the pedestrian from other
objects in the surroundings, for
example, when there is a group of
pedestrians or a large crowd
There is an item similar to a per- son's body structure
The pedestrian is small

Information
In some instances, the FCA system
may be cancelled when subjected to
electromagnetic interference.
i
Never try to test the operation
of the FCA system. Doing so
may cause severe injury or
death.
If the front bumper, front
glass, radar or camera have
been replaced or repaired, we
recommend that you have
your vehicle inspected by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
Do not use the Forward
Collision avoidance Assist
(FCA) system when towing a
vehicle. Application of the
FCA system whilst towing
may adversely affect the safe-
ty of your vehicle or the tow-
ing vehicle.
Use extreme caution when the
vehicle in front of you has a
cargo area that extends rear-
ward from the cab, or when
the vehicle in front of you has
higher ground clearance.
The FCA system is designed
to detect and monitor the
vehicle ahead or detect a
pedestrian in the roadway
through radar signals and
camera recognition. It is not
designed to detect bicycles,
motorcycles, or smaller
wheeled objects such as lug-
gage bags, shopping carts, or
strollers.

The Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) sys-
tem with a camera at the front wind-
screen, helps detect lane markers on
the road, and assists the driver's
steering to help keep the vehicle
between lanes.
When the system detects the vehicle
straying from its lane, it alerts the
driver with a visual and audible warn-
ing, whilst applying a slight counter-
steering torque, trying to prevent the
vehicle from moving out of its lane.
OOS057033
The Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)
system is not a substitute for safe
driving practices, but a conven-
ience function. It is the responsi-
bility of the driver to always be
aware of the surrounding and
steer the vehicle.
WARNING
Take the following precautions
when using the Lane Keeping
Assist (LKA) system:
Do not steer the steering
wheel suddenly when the
steering wheel is being assist-
ed by the system.
LKA system helps to prevent
the driver from moving out of
the lane unintentionally by
assisting the driver's steering.
However, the driver should
not solely rely on the system
but always pay attention on
the steering wheel to stay in
the lane.
WARNING
The operation of the LKA sys-
tem can be cancelled or not
work properly according to
road condition and surround-
ings. Always be cautious
when driving.
Do not disassemble the LKA
system camera temporarily to
tint the window or attach any
types of coatings and acces-
sories. If you disassemble the
camera and assemble it again,
we recommend that you take
your vehicle to a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer and have
the system checked for cali-
bration.
When you replace the wind-
screen glass, LKA system
camera or related parts of the
steering wheel, we recom-
mend that you take your vehi-
cle to a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer and have the system
checked for calibration.

LKA operation
To activate/deactivate the LKA sys-
tem:
With the ignition switch in the ON
position, press the LKA system but-
ton located on the instrument panel
at the lower right hand side of the
driver.
The indicator in the cluster display
will initially illuminate white. This indi-
cates the LKA system is in the
READY but NOT ENABLED state.

The system detects lane
markers and controls the
steering wheel by a camera,
therefore, if the lane markers
are hard to detect, the system
may not work properly.
Please refer to "Limitations of
the system".
Do not remove or damage the
related parts of LKA system.
You may not hear a warning
sound of LKA system
because of excessive audio
sound.
Do not place objects on the
dashboard that reflects light
such as mirrors, white paper,
etc. The system may malfunc-
tion if the sunlight is reflected.
If you attach objects to the
steering wheel, the system
may not assist steering or the
hands off alarm may not work
properly.
You may not hear warning
sound of LKA because of the
excessive audio sound.
While other beeps such as the
seat belt warning sound are in
operation and override the
LKA alarming system, LKA
beeps may not occur.
If you continue to drive with
your hands off the steering
wheel, the LKA will stop con-
trolling the steering wheel
after the hands off alarm.
After then, if you drive with
your hands on the steering
wheel, the control will be acti-
vated again.
If the vehicle speed is high,
steering torque for assistance
will not be enough to keep
your vehicle within the lane. If
so, the vehicle may move out
of its lane. Obey speed limit
when using LKA.
