- 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 in
the same lane may not be recog-
nized. The FCA system may produce
the warning message and the warn-
ing alarm prematurely, or it may not
produce the warning message or the
warning alarm at all. When driving on a curve the driver
must maintain a safe braking dis-
tance, and if necessary, depress the
brake pedal to reduce your driving
speed in order to maintain a safe dis-
tance.
The FCA system may recognize 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, while 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.
Always check the traffic conditions
around the vehicle.

Driving your vehicle
- Driving on a slope
The performance of the FCA may be
limited while driving upward or down-
ward on a slope any may not recog-
nize the vehicle in front in the same
lane. It may unnecessarily produce
the warning message and the warn-
ing alarm prematurely, or it may not
produce the warning message and
the warning alarm at all.
When the FCA suddenly recognizes
the vehicle in front while passing
over a slope, you may experience
sharp deceleration.Always keep your eyes forward while
driving upward or downward on a
slope, and, if necessary, depress the
brake pedal to reduce your driving
speed in order to maintain a safe dis-
tance.
- 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.
Recognizing pedestrians
- The pedestrian is not fully captured
by the camera sensor, or the
pedestrian does not walk in the
upright position.
- The pedestrian moves very fast.
- The pedestrian abruptly appears in front.
- The pedestrian wears clothes in the color similar to the background.
- The outside is too bright or too dark.
- The vehicle drives at night or in the darkness.
- There is an item similar to a per- son’s body structure.
- The pedestrian is small.
- The pedestrian has impaired mobility.
- It is difficult to distinguish the pedestrian from the surroundings.
- The sensor recognition is limited.
- There is a group of pedestrians.
- If a sudden change in the sensor recognition takes place while pass-
ing through the speed bump,

Driving your vehicle
- When the vehicle is severely shak-en,
- When driving around circular inter- section after the vehicle in front,
- If the front of the camera lens is contaminated by front glass tinting,
film, water repellent coating, dam-
age on glass, foreign matter (stick-
er, insect, etc.)
- The radar or camera or camera lens is damaged.
- If the headlights of the vehicle are not used at night or in the tunnel
section, or the light is too weak
- If street light or the light of the vehi- cle coming from the opposite is
reflected or when sunlight is
reflected by the water on the road
surface
- When the back light is projected in the direction of the vehicle's motion
(including the headlights of vehi-
cles)
- Road sign, shadow on the road, tunnel entrance, toll gate, partial
pavement - If the windshield has moisture on
its surface or if windshield freezes,
- Driving in the fog.
- When objects are out of the sens- ing range of the sensor or radar.
- When the cyclist in front is riding intersected with the driving direc-
tion
- When there is any other electro- magnetic interference
- When the construction area, rail or other metal object is near the
cyclist
- If the bicycle material is not reflect- ed well on the radar
WARNING
Do not use the ForwardCollision avoidance Assist
(FCA) system when towing a
vehicle. Application of the
FCA system while towing may
adversely affect the safety of
your vehicle or the towing
vehicle.
Use extreme caution when 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.
The FCA system is designed to detect and monitor the vehicle
ahead in the roadway through
radar signals and camera
recognition. It is not designed
to detect bicycles, motorcy-
cles, or smaller wheeled
objects such as luggage bags,
shopping carts, or strollers.
