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.

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.
WARNING
Collision Warning (First warning)
The warning message appears onthe cluster 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.
If FCA detects a vehicle in front, the system operates when your
vehicle speed is between 5 mph (8
km/h) and 112 mph (180 km/h).
Maximum vehicle speed may
decrease depending on the condi-
tion of the vehicle ahead and sur-
roundings.
If FCA detects a pedestrian in front, the system operates when
your vehicle speed is between 5
mph (8 km/h) and 56 mph (90
km/h). Maximum vehicle speed
may decrease depending on the
condition of the pedestrian ahead
and surroundings.
If you select 'Warning only' for the system setting, the FCA system
activates and produces only warn-
ing alarms in accordance with the
collision risk levels. You should
control the brake directly because
the FCA system will not control the
brake.
Emergency braking (Second warning)
The warning message appears on
the cluster LCD display with a
warning chime. Additionally, some
vehicle system intervention occurs
by the engine management system
to help decelerate the vehicle.
The brake control is maximized just before a collision, reducing
impact when it strikes a forward
vehicle.
If FCA detects a vehicle in front, the system operates when your vehicle
speed is above 5 mph (8 km/h) and
47 mph (75 km/h) or under.
Maximum vehicle speed may
decrease depending on the condi-
tion of the vehicle ahead and sur-
roundings.
If FCA detects a pedestrian in front, the system operates when
your vehicle speed is 5 mph (8
km/h) or above and under 40 mph
(65 km/h). Maximum vehicle speed
may decrease depending on the
condition of the pedestrian ahead
and surroundings.

If you select 'Warning only' for thesystem setting, the FCA system
activates and produces only warn-
ing alarms in accordance with the
collision risk levels. You should
control the brake directly because
the FCA system do not control the
brake.
Brake operation
In an urgent situation, the brakingsystem enters into the ready status
for prompt reaction against the dri-
ver's depressing the brake pedal.
The FCA provides additional brak- ing power for optimum braking per-
formance, when the driver
depresses the brake pedal.
The braking control is automatical- ly deactivated, when the driver
sharply depresses the accelerator
pedal, or when the driver abruptly
operates the steering wheel.
The FCA brake control is automat- ically canceled, when risk factors
disappear.

The driver should always use
extreme caution while operat-
ing the vehicle, whether or not
there is a warning message or
alarm from the FCA system.
After the brake control is acti- vated, the driver must immedi-
ately depress the brake pedal
and check the surroundings.
The brake activation by the
system lasts for about 2 sec-
onds.
CAUTION
If any other warning soundsuch as seat belt warning
chime is already generated, the
Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist (FCA) system warning
may not sound.
Playing the vehicle audio sys- tem at high volume may pre-
vent occupants from hearing
the system warning sounds.
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
The FCA system logic operates
within certain parameters, such
as the distance from the vehicle
or pedestrian 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 operation of the
FCA system.
WARNING
Never deliberately drive danger-
ously to activate the system.

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.

Limitations of the System
The Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist (FCA) system is designed to
monitor the vehicle ahead or a
pedestrian in the roadway through
radar signals and camera recogni-
tion to warn the driver that a collision
is imminent, and if necessary, apply
emergency braking.
In certain situations, the radar sensor
or the camera may not be able to
detect the vehicle or pedestrian
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 system may not operate for 15
seconds after the engine is started
or the camera is initialized
The radar sensor or camera is cov- ered with a foreign object or debris
The camera lens is contaminated due to tinted, filmed or coated
windshield, 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 radar sensor or camera
There is interference by electro- magnetic waves
There is severe irregular reflection from the radar sensor
The radar/camera sensor recogni- tion is limited
The vehicle in front is too small to be detected (for example a motor-
cycle or a bicycle, etc.)
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 vehicles in the oppo-
site lane.
The FCA system does not detect cross traffic vehicles
that are approaching.
The FCA system cannot detect vehicles that are
stopped vertically to your
vehicle at a intersection or
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 or to stop the
vehicle.
WARNING
The brake control may be insufficient, possibly causing
a collision, if a vehicle in front
abruptly stops. Always pay
extreme caution.
Occupants may get injured, if the vehicle abruptly stops by
the activated FCA system. Pay
extreme caution.
The FCA system operates only when the system detect
vehicles or pedestrian in front
of the vehicle.
