Driving your vehicle
Good Braking Practices
Wet brakes can be dangerous! The
brakes may get wet if the vehicle is
driven through standing water or if it
is washed. Your vehicle will not stop
as quickly if the brakes are wet. Wet
brakes may cause the products to
pull to one side.
To dry the brakes, apply the brakes
lightly until the braking action returns
to normal, taking care to keep the
vehicle under control at all times. If
the braking action does not return to
normal, stop as soon as it is safe to
do so and call an authorized retailer
of Genesis Branded products for
assistance.
DO NOT drive with your foot resting
on the brake pedal. Even light, but
constant pedal pressure can result in
the brakes overheating, brake wear,
and possibly even brake failure.If a tire goes flat while you are driv-
ing, apply the brakes gently and
keep the vehicle pointed straight
ahead while you slow down. When
you are moving slowly enough for it
to be safe to do so, pull off the road
and stop in a safe location.
Keep your foot firmly on the brake
pedal when the vehicle is stopped to
prevent the vehicle from rolling for-
ward.
Whenever leaving the vehicle or
parking, always come to a com-
plete stop and continue to
depress the brake pedal. Shift
the gear to P (Park), apply the
parking brake, and press the
Engine Start/Stop button to the
OFF.
Vehicles with the parking brake
not fully engaged are at risk for
moving inadvertently and caus-
ing injury to yourself or others.
WARNING
The Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist (FCA) system is designed to
help detect and monitor the vehicle
ahead or help detect a pedestrian in
the roadway through radar signals
and camera recognition to warn the
driver that a collision is imminent,
and if necessary, apply emergency
braking.System Setting and Operation
System setting
Setting Forward Safety functionThe Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist (FCA) can be activated from
the Settings menu in the AVN sys-
tem screen by following the proce-
dure below.
1. Set the Engine Start/Stop button to the ON or START position.
2. Select 'Setup → Vehicle Settings
→ Driver Assistance → Forward
Safety →Active Assist / Warning
Only / Off' in the AVN system
screen. For detailed informa-
tion, scan the QR code in a
separately supplied simple
manual.
- If you select 'Active Assist', the FCA system activates. The FCA
produces warning messages
and warning alarms in accor-
dance with the collision risk lev-
els. Braking assist will be
applied in accordance with the
collision risk.
- If you select 'Warning Only', the FCA system activates and pro-
duces only warning alarms in
accordance with the collision
risk levels. Braking assist will
not be applied in this setting.

Take the following precautions
when using the Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist
(FCA) system:
This system is only a supple-
mental system and it is not
intended to, nor does it
replace the need for extreme
care and attention of the driv-
er. The sensing range and
objects detectable by the sen-
sors are limited. Pay attention
to the road conditions at all
times.
Drive at posted speed limits and accordance to road con-
ditions.
Always drive cautiously to prevent unexpected and sud-
den situations from occur-
ring. The Forward Collision-
Avoidance system may not
always stop the vehicle com-
pletely and is only intended to
help mitigate a collision that
is imminent.
WARNING
Prerequisite for activation
The FCA system will activate when
'Active Assist' or 'Warning Only' under
Forward Safety is selected in the AVN
system screen, and when the follow-
ing prerequisites are satisfied.
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 or a vehicle in front, which may col-
lide with your vehicle. However,
FCA may not be activated or may
only sound a warning alarm
depending on the driving or vehicle
conditions.
FCA may not operate properly
according to the frontal situation or
the direction of a pedestrian.
FCA Warning Message and
Brake Control
FCA produces warning messages,
warning alarms, and emergency
braking based on the level of risk of
a frontal collision, such as when a
vehicle ahead suddenly brakes, or
the system detects that a collision
with a pedestrian is imminent.

To avoid driver distractions,
do not attempt to set or can-
cel the FCA while driving the
vehicle. Always completely
stop the vehicle at a safe
place before setting or cancel-
ing the system.
FCA automatically activates upon placing the Engine
Start/Stop button to the ON or
START position. The driver
can deactivate FCA by cancel-
ing the system setting in the
AVN system screen.
FCA automatically deacti- vates upon canceling ESC.
When ESC is canceled, FCA
cannot be activated in the
AVN system screen. In this sit-
uation, the FCA warning light
will illuminate which is nor-
mal.
