FCA sensor
In order for the FCA system to oper-
ate properly, always make sure the
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.
• NEVER install any accessories
or stickers on the front wind-
screen, nor tint the front wind-
screen.
NOTICE
•The driver should always use
extreme caution whilst oper-
ating the vehicle, whether or
not there is a warning mes-
sage or alarm from the FCA
system.
•The warning of the FCA sys-
tem may not sound whilst
other system's warning
sounds.
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
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 oper-
ation of the FCA system.

• 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.
• Always keep the sensors clean.
• Be careful not to apply unneces-
sary force on the sensor. If the
sensor is forcibly moved out of
proper alignment, the system
may not operate correctly. In this
case, a warning message may not
be displayed. We recommend that
you have the vehicle inspected by
a HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
Information
We recommend that you have the sys-
tem checked by a HYUNDAI autho-
rised repairer when:
• The windscreen glass is replaced.
Warning message and warning
light
FCA disabled (Forward Collision
Avoidance Assist). Camera obscured
When the camera is blocked with
dirt, snow, or debris, the FCA system
operation may stop temporarily.
If this occurs, a warning message will
appear on the LCD display.
Remove any dirt, snow, or debris and
clean the front camera before oper-
ating the FCA system.
The system will operate normally
when such dirt, snow or debris is
removed.However the FCA may not properly
operate in an area (e.g. open ter-
rain), where any substances are not
detected or the camera is blocked
with dirt, snow or debris after turning
ON the engine. Although a warning
message will not appear on the LCD
display, the FCA may not properly
operate.

• 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-
cle inspected by a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer.
• The FCA warning message may
appear along with the illumination
of the ESC (Electronic Stability

•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.

Limitations of the system
The Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist (FCA) system is designed to
monitor the vehicle ahead in the
roadway through camera recognition
to warn the driver that a collision is
imminent, and if necessary, apply
emergency braking.
In certain situations, the camera may
not be able to detect the vehicle
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 camera is blocked with a for-
eign 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 camera
•The FCA system may not acti-
vate according to the road
conditions, inclement weath-
er, driving conditions or traffic
conditions.
•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 in front
of the vehicle.
•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 pedestrians in front of
the vehicle.
•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.

Driving your vehicle
• There is interference by electro-
magnetic waves
• The camera recognition is limited
• The vehicle in front is too small to
be detected (for example a motor
cycle or 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 camera's field of view is not
well illuminated (either too dark or
too much reflection or too much
backlight that obscures the field of
view)
• The vehicle in front does not have
their rear lights or their rear lights
does not turned ON or their rear
lights are located unusually.
• The outside brightness changes
suddenly, for example when enter-
ing or exiting a tunnel

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 or head light of
oncoming vehicle.
• 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 camera does not recognise
the entire vehicle in front.
• The camera is damaged.
• The brightness outside is too low
such as when the headlamps are
not on at night or the vehicle is
going through a tunnel.
• The shadow is on the road by a
median strip, trees, etc.
• The vehicle drives through a toll-
gate.• The windscreen glass is fogged
up; a clear view of the road is
obstructed.
• The rear part of the vehicle in front
is not normally visible. (the vehicle
turns in other direction or the vehi-
cle is overturned.)
• 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

- 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
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.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.Information
In some instances, the FCA system
may be cancelled when subjected to
electromagnetic interference.
