Information
If you change the warning timing, the
warning timing of other systems may
change.
Prerequisite for activation
The FCA gets ready to be activated,
when 'Active Assist' or 'Warning
Only' under Forward Safety is select-
ed in the cluster, and when the fol-
lowing prerequisites are satisfied.
- ESC (Electronic Stability Control)
is on.
- Vehicle speed is over 8 km/h. (The
FCA is only activated within a cer-
tain speed range.)
- The system detects a pedestrian,
cyclist (if equipped) or a vehicle in
front, which may collide with your
vehicle. However, FCA may not be
activated or may only sound a
warning alarm depending on the
driving or vehicle conditions.
The FCA may not operate properly
according to the frontal situation, the
direction of pedestrian or cyclist (if
equipped) and speed.i
To avoid driver distractions,
do not attempt to set or can-
cel the FCA whilst driving the
vehicle. Always completely
stop the vehicle at a safe
place before setting or cancel-
ing the system.
The FCA automatically acti-
vates upon placing the igni-
tion switch to the ON position.
The driver can deactivate the
FCA by canceling the system
setting on the cluster LCD dis-
play.
The FCA automatically deacti-
vates upon canceling the ESC
(Electronic Stability Control).
When the ESC is cancelled,
the FCA cannot be activated
on the LCD display. In this sit-
uation, the FCA warning light
will illuminate which is nor-
mal.
WARNING

Driving your vehicle
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 or cyclist (if
equipped) 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. If FCA detects a vehicle in front,
the system operates when your
vehicle speed is between 8 km/h
and 180 km/h. Maximum vehicle
speed may decrease depending
on the condition of the vehicle
ahead and surroundings.
If FCA detects a pedestrian or
cyclist in front, the system operates
when your vehicle speed is
between 8 km/h and 70 km/h.
Maximum vehicle speed may
decrease depending on the condi-
tion of the pedestrian or cyclist
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)
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. If FCA detects a vehicle in front, the
system operates when your vehicle
speed is 8 km/h and less than or
equal to 180 km/h. Maximum vehi-
cle speed may decrease depend-
ing on the condition of the vehicle
ahead and surroundings.
If FCA detects a pedestrian or
cyclist in front, the system operates
when your vehicle speed is
between 8 km/h and 70 km/h.
Maximum vehicle speed may
decrease depending on the condi-
tion of the pedestrian or cyclist
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.
Brake operation
In an urgent situation, the braking
system 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 cancelled, when risk factors
disappear.

FCA sensor
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.
Never deliberately drive danger-
ously to activate the system.
WARNING
The FCA system logic operates
within certain parameters, such
as the distance from the vehi-
cle, pedestrian or cyclist (if
equipped) ahead, the speed of
the vehicle ahead, and the dri-
ver's vehicle speed. Certain
conditions such as inclement
weather and road conditions
may affect the operation of the
FCA system.

■ Front radar
■ Front camera
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 driver should always use
extreme caution whilst oper-
ating the vehicle, whether or
not there is a warning mes-
sage 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

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 radar sensor.
Doing so may adversely affect
the sensing performance of the
radar.
Always keep the radar 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.
(Continued)(Continued)
Be careful not to apply unneces-
sary force on the radar sensor or
sensor 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. We recom-
mend that you have the vehicle
inspected by an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer.
If the front bumper becomes
damaged in the area around the
radar sensor, the FCA system
may not operate properly. We
recommend that you have the
vehicle inspected by authorised
HYUNDAI dealer.
Use only genuine parts to repair
or replace a damaged sensor or
sensor cover. Do not apply paint
to the sensor cover. NEVER install any accessories
or stickers on the front wind-
screen, or tint the front wind-
screen.
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, nor apply any impact
on the camera or assembly.
Information
We recommend that you have the sys-
tem checked by an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer when:
• The windscreen glass is replaced.
• The radar sensor or cover gets dam-
aged or replaced.

Warning message and warning
light
FCA disabled (Forward Collision
Avoidance Assist). Radar obscured
When the sensor cover is blocked
with dirt, snow, or debris, the FCA
system may not detect other vehi-
cles. If this occurs, a warning mes-
sage 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
substances are not detected after
turning ON the engine.
Also, even though a warning mes-
sage does not appear on the LCD
display, the FCA may not properly
operate.
System malfunction
Check FCA (Forward Collision -
Avoidance Assist warning) 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, we recommend
that you have the vehicle inspected
by an authorised HYUNDAI dealer.
The FCA system may not acti-
vate according to the road con-
ditions, inclement weather, driv-
ing conditions or traffic condi-
tions.

The FCA warning message may
appear along with the illumination
of the ESC (Electronic Stability
Control) warning light. Both FCA
warning light and warning mes-
sage will disappear once the ESC
warning light issue is resolved.
FCA is only a supplemental
system for the driver's con-
venience. The driver should
hold the responsibility to con-
trol 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.
(Continued)(Continued)
In certain instances and
under certain driving condi-
tions, the FCA system may
activate unintentionally. This
initial warning message
appears on the LCD display
with a warning chime.
Also due to sensing limita-
tions, in certain situations, the
front radar sensor or camera
recognition system may not
detect the vehicle, pedestrian
or cyclist (if equipped) ahead.
The FCA system may not acti-
vate and the warning mes-
sage 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.
(Continued)
WARNING
(Continued)
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.

Limitations of the system
The Forward Collision avoidance
assist (FCA) system is designed to
monitor the vehicle ahead or a
pedestrian or cyclist (if equipped) in
the roadway through radar signals
and camera recognition 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, pedestrian or
cyclist (if equipped) ahead. In these
cases, the FCA system may not
operate normally. The driver must
pay careful attention in the following
situations where the FCA operation
may be limited. 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.
(Continued)(Continued)
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.
The FCA system cannot
detect the cross traffic cyclist
that are approaching.
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
(Continued)
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, pedestrian or cyclist
(if equipped) in front of the
vehicle.
