(Forward Collision Avoidance Asst.)
• 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
( ) will illuminate. In this case, we
recommend that you have the vehi-

•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
produce a warning alarm and
control the brake system
unnecessarily. And, the FCA
system may not produce a
warning alarm and control the
brake system due to detecting
limitation of sensor.
Also, in certain instances the
front camera recognition sys-
tem may not detect the vehi-
cle 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 function
of the FCA system, the vehi-
cle's basic braking perform-
ance will operate normally.
However, brake control func-
tion 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.
•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.

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.
• The driver can select the initial warn-
ing activation time on the LCD dis-
play.
Go to the "User Settings →Driver
assistance →Warning timing →
Normal/Later".The options for the initial Forward
Collision Warning includes the fol-
lowing:
- Normal:
When this condition is selected,
the initial Forward Collision
Warning is activated sensitively. If
you feel the warning activates too
early, set the Forward Collision
Warning to 'Later'.
Even though, 'Normal' is selected if
the front vehicle suddenly stops
the initial warning activation time
may not seem fast.
- Later:
When this condition is selected, the
initial Forward Collision Warning is
activated later than normal. This
setting reduces the amount of dis-
tance between the vehicle, pedes-
trian or cyclist (if equipped) ahead
before the initial warning occurs.
Select 'Later' when traffic is light
and when driving speed is slow.
❈If you change the warning timing,
the warning timing of other sys-
tems may change.
Always be aware of warning tim-
ing before changing the warning
timing.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 5 mph (8
km/h) (The FCA is only activated
within a certain speed range.).
- The system detects a pedestrian,
cyclist (if equipped) or a vehicle in
front, which may collide with your
vehicle (The FCA may not be acti-
vated or may sound a warning
alarm in accordance with the driv-
ing situation or vehicle condition. If
you select "Warning only", the FCA
system activates and produces
only warning alarms in accordance
with the collision risk levels.).
❈The FCA may not operate proper-
ly according to the frontal situa-
tion, the direction of pedestrian or
cyclist (if equipped) and speed.

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, pedestrian or cyclist (if
equipped) 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 Normal or
Late initial warning time.
If you select "Warning only", the FCA
system activates and produces only
warning alarms in accordance with
the collision risk levels. You should
control the brake directly because
the FCA system do not control the
brake.
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 canceling
the system setting on the LCD
display.
•The FCA automatically deacti-
vates upon canceling 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.

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 pressur-
ized 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.• NEVER install any accessories
or stickers on the front wind-
screen, nor tint the front wind-
screen.
• NEVER locate any reflective
objects (i.e. white paper, mirror)
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 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.

blocked with a foreign object or
debris
• Inclement weather such as heavy
rain or snow obscures the field of
view of the radar sensor or camera
• 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
obstructed by sun glare
• The windscreen glass is fogged
up; a clear view of the road is

•The FCA system is designed
to detect and monitor the
vehicle ahead or detect a
pedestrian or cyclist (if
equipped) 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.
•Never try to test the operation
of the FCA system. Doing so
may cause severe injury or
death.

glass, radar or camera have
been replaced or repaired, we
recommend that you have
your vehicle inspected by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
