The Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist (FCA) system is designed to
help detect and monitor the vehicle
ahead in the roadway through cam-
era recognition to warn the driver
that a collision is imminent, and if
necessary, apply emergency brak-
ing.
The camera type FCA system
detects the vehicle ahead in the
roadway through camera.System Setting and Activation
System setting
Setting Forward Safety functionThe driver can activate the FCA by
placing the ignition switch to the
ON position and by selecting:
'User Settings → Driver Assistance
→ Forward Safety'
- If you select "Active Assist", the FCA system activates. The FCA
produces warning messages and
warning alarms in accordance
with the collision risk levels.
Braking assist will be applied in
accordance with the collision risk.

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
OTMA058186
Page 310 of 535

5-74
Driving your vehicle- If you select "Warning Only", theFCA system activates and pro-
duces only warning alarms in
accordance with the collision risk
levels. Braking assist will not be
applied in this setting.
- If you select "Off", the FCA sys- tem deactivates,
The warning light illu-
minates on the LCD
display, when you can-
cel the FCA system.
The driver can monitor the FCA
ON/OFF status on the LCD display.
Also, the warning light illuminates
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
HYUNDAI dealer. Setting Warning Timing
The driver can select the initial
warning activation time on the LCD
display.
Go to the 'User Settings → Driver
Assistance →Warning Timing →
Normal/Later'. 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
'Later'.
Even though, 'Normal' is selected if
the front vehicle suddenly stops
the initial warning activation time
may not seem fast.
- Later : 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 ahead
before the initial warning occurs.
Select 'Later' when traffic is light
and when driving speed is slow.

Information
If you change the warning timing, the
warning time of other systems may
change. Always be aware before
changing the warning timing.
Prerequisite for activation
The FCA system is on and ready
when 'Active Assist' or 'Warning
Only' under Forward Safety is select-
ed in the LCD display and when the
following prerequisites are satisfied:
- The ESC (Electronic StabilityControl) is on.
- Driving speed exceeds approxi- mately 6mph (10 km/h) (The FCA
is only activated within a certain
speed range.).
- The system detects a vehicle in front, which may collide with your
vehicle. (The FCA may not be acti-
vated or may sound a warning
alarm in accordance with the driv-
ing situation or vehicle condition.)
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.
i
FCA automatically activates
upon placing the ignition
switch to the ON position. The
driver can deactivate FCA by
canceling the system setting
in the cluster LCD display. To
avoid driver distractions, do
not attempt to set or cancel
the FCA while driving the
vehicle.
FCA automatically deacti-
vates upon canceling ESC.
When ESC is canceled, FCA
cannot be activated in the
cluster LCD display. The FCA
warning light will illuminate
which is normal.

Driving your vehicle
Collision Warning (First warning)
This warning message appears on
the 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 deceleratemoderately.
- The FCA system limitedly controls the brakes to preemptively mitigate
impact in a collision. - If you select "Warning Only", the
FCA system activates and pro-
duces only warning alarms in
accordance with the collision risk
levels. You should control the brake
directly because the FCA system
do not control the brake.
Emergency Braking(Second warning)
This warning message appears on
the LCD display with a warning
chime.
Additionally, some vehicle system
intervention occurs by the engine
management system to help decel-
erate the vehicle.
- The FCA system limitedly controls
the brakes to preemptively mitigate
impact in a collision. The brake
control is maximized just before a
collision.

- If you select "Warning Only", theFCA system activates and pro-
duces only warning 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 braking control is auto- matically canceled, when risk fac-
tors 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.
If any other warning sound
such as seat belt warning
chime is already generated,
the Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist (FCA) sys-
tem warning may not sound.
Playing the vehicle audio sys-
tem at high volume may pre-
vent occupants from hearing
the system warning sounds.
CAUTION
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.
WARNING
The FCA 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.

Driving your vehicle
FCA Sensor
In order for the FCA system to oper-
ate properly, always make sure the
camera is clean and free of dirt,
snow, and debris.
Dirt, snow, or foreign substances on
the sensor cover or sensor may
adversely affect the sensing perform-
ance of the sensor. NEVER install any accessories
or stickers on the front wind-
shield, or tint the front wind-
shield.
NEVER place any reflective objects (i.e. white paper, mirror)
over the crash pad. Any light
reflection may prevent the sys-
tem from functioning properly.
Pay extreme caution to keep the camera dry.
NEVER disassemble the camera assembly, or apply any impact
on the camera assembly.
If the sensor is forcibly moved out of proper alignment, the FCA
system may not operate correct-
ly. In this case, a warning mes-
sage may not be displayed. Have
the vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Information
Have the system checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer when:
• The windshield glass is replaced.
