Fuel efficiency depends on the driver's
driving habit and road condition.
When ECO mode is activated:
The acceleration response may beslightly reduced if the accelerator
pedal is depressed moderately.
The air conditioner performance may be limited.
The shift pattern of the automatic transmission may change.
The engine noise may be louder at some automatic transmission
shifts as down-shift requires press-
ing down more on the accelerator.
The above situations are normal
conditions when ECO mode is acti-
vated to help improve fuel efficiency.
Limitation of ECO mode operation:
If the following conditions occur while
ECO mode is operating, the system
operation is limited even though
there is no change in the ECO indi-
cator.
When the coolant temperature is low:
The system will be limited until
engine performance becomes nor-
mal.
When driving up a hill: The system will be limited to gain

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

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
The warning light illu-
minates on the instru-
ment cluster, when you
cancel the FCA system.
The driver can monitor the FCA
ON/OFF status in the instrument
cluster. Also, the warning light illu-
minates when the ESC (Electronic
Stability Control) is turned off. If the
warning light remains ON when the
FCA is activated, have the system
checked by an authorized retailer
of Genesis Branded products.
Selecting Warning Timing The diver can select the initial
warning activation time from the
Settings menu in the AVN system
screen. Select:
- Setup →Vehicle Settings →
Driver Assistance →Warning
Timing →Normal / Late
For detailed information, scan
the QR code in a separately sup-
plied simple manual. The options for the initial Forward
Collision Warning includes the fol-
lowing:
- Normal:
When this option is selected, the
initial Forward Collision Warning is
activated sensitively. If you feel the
warning activates too early, set the
Forward Collision Warning to
'Late'.
Even though, 'Normal' is selected if
the front vehicle suddenly stops
the initial warning activation time
may not seem fast.
- Late: When this option is selected, the
initial Forward Collision Warning is
activated later than normal. This
setting reduces the amount of dis-
tance between the vehicle or
pedestrian ahead before the initial
warning occurs.
Select 'Late' when traffic is light
and when driving speed is slow.
When you accelerate suddenly to
the vehicle ahead, the warning
may seem to activate earlier even if
'Late' is selected.
Information
If you change the warning timing, the
warning time of other systems may
change.

Driving your vehicle
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.

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.

FCA is only a supplementalsystem for the driver's con-
venience. It is the driver's
responsibility to control 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 or to stop the vehicle.
WARNING
In certain instances andunder 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 due to sensing limita-
tions, in certain situations, 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 may 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.
The FCA system may not acti- vate if the driver applies the
brake pedal to avoid collision.
