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
when the system detects that a colli-
sion with a pedestrian is imminent.
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.

Driving your vehicle
- 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.
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 depress-
es 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
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
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.

FCA Sensor
(Front Radar/Front Camera)
In order for the FCA system to oper-
ate properly, always make sure the
sensor cover or sensor 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.
Do not apply license plate frame
or foreign objects such as a
bumper sticker or a bumper
guard near the sensor. Doing so
may adversely affect the sens-
ing performance of the radar.
Always keep the sensor and cover clean and free of dirt and
debris.
Use only a soft cloth to wash the vehicle. Do not spray pressur-
ized water directly on the sensor
or sensor cover.
Be careful not to apply unneces- sary force on the sensor or sen-
sor cover. If the sensor is
forcibly moved out of proper
alignment, the FCA system may
not operate correctly. In this
case, a warning message may
not be displayed. Have the vehi-
cle inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer. If the front bumper becomes
damaged in the area around the
sensor, the FCA system may not
operate properly. Have the vehi-
cle inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Use only genuine HYUNDAI parts to repair or replace a dam-
aged sensor or sensor cover. Do
not apply paint to the sensor
cover.
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.

Warning message and warninglight
Forward Collision Avoidance Assist
(FCA) system disabled.
Radar blocked
When the sensor cover is blocked
with dirt, snow, or debris, the FCA
system operation not be able to
detect other vehicles. If this occurs, a
warning message will appear on the
LCD display. The system will operate
normally when such dirt, snow or
debris is removed.
FCA may not properly operate in an
area (e.g. open terrain) where any
objects or vehicles are not detected
after turning on the engine.
System Malfunction
Check Forward Collision Avoidance
Assist system
When FCA is not working properly,
the FCA warning light ( ) will illu-
minate and the warning message
will appear for a few seconds. After
the message disappears, the mas-
ter warning light ( ) will illumi-
nate. In this case, have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
The FCA warning message may appear along with the illumination
of the ESC (Electronic Stability
Control) warning light.

Both FCA warning light and warn-
ing message will disappear once
the ESC warning light issue is
resolved.
FCA is only a supplemental
system 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.
In certain instances and
under certain driving condi-
tions, the FCA system may
activate prematurely. This ini-
tial warning message appears
on the LCD display with a
warning chime.
WARNING
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.
If there is a malfunction with
the FCA system, the Forward
Collision avoidance assist
system is not applied even
though the braking system is
operating normally.
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.
The brake control may be
insufficient, possibly causing
a collision, if a vehicle in front
abruptly stops. Always pay
extreme caution.
The FCA system may not acti-
vate according to the road
conditions, inclement weath-
er, driving conditions or traffic
conditions.
Occupants may get injured, if
the vehicle abruptly stops by
the activated FCA system. Pay
extreme caution.
The FCA system does not
detect all vehicles.

Limitations of the System
The Forward Collision Avoidance
Assist (FCA) system is designed to
monitor the vehicle ahead or a
pedestrian on 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 sen-
sor 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 radar sensor or camera isblocked with a foreign object or
debris
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
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.
The FCA system operates
only to detect vehicles or
pedestrians in front of the
vehicle.
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 the driver approaching
the side view of a parked vehi-
cle (for example on a dead
end street).
WARNING

5-96
Driving your vehicle
Driving on a curve The performance of the FCA sys-
tem may be limited when driving
on a curved road.
This may cause the alarm or brak-
ing to activate or not activate
improperly.
Also, in certain instances the front
radar sensor or camera recognition
system may not detect the vehicle
traveling on a curved road.
In these cases, the driver must
maintain a safe braking distance,
and if necessary, depress the
brake pedal to reduce your driving
speed in order to maintain a safe
distance. The FCA system may recognize a
vehicle in the next lane when driv-
ing on a curved road.
In this case, the system may
unnecessarily 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 dis-
tance.
Also, when necessary depress the
accelerator pedal to prevent the
system from unnecessarily decel-
erating your vehicle.
Check the road conditions for safe
operation of the FCA system. Driving on a slope
The performance of the FCA
decreases while driving upward or
downward on a slope, not recog-
nizing the vehicle in front in the
same lane. It may unnecessarily
produce the warning message and
the warning alarm, or it may not
produce the warning message and
the warning alarm at all.
When the FCA suddenly recog-
nizes the vehicle in front while
passing over a slope, you may
experience sharp deceleration.

Do not use the Forward
Collision 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 or detect a
pedestrian in the roadway
through radar signals and
camera recognition. It is not
designed to detect bicycles,
motorcycles, or smaller
wheeled objects such as lug-
gage bags, shopping carts, or
strollers.
Never try to test the operation
of the FCA system. Doing so
may cause severe injury or
death.
If the front bumper, front
glass, radar or camera have
been replaced or repaired,
have the vehicle inspected by
an authorized HYUNDAI deal-
er.
