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
windscreen, 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 etc.)
The vehicle in front is an oversize
vehicle or trailer that is too big to
be detected by the camera recog-
nition system (for example a tractor
trailer, etc.) The camera's field of view is not
well illuminated (either too dark or
too much reflection or too much
backlight that obscures the field of
view)
The vehicle in front does not have
their rear lights or their rear lights
does not turned ON or their rear
lights are located unusually
The outside brightness changes
suddenly, for example when enter-
ing or exiting a tunnel
Light coming from a street light or
an oncoming vehicle is reflected on
a wet road surface such as a pud-
dle in the road
The field of view in front is obstruct-
ed by sun glare or head light of
oncoming vehicle
The windscreen glass is fogged up;
a clear view of the road is obstruct-
ed
The vehicle in front is driving errati-
cally
The vehicle is on unpaved or
uneven rough surfaces, or road
with sudden gradient changes. The vehicle is driven near areas
containing metal substances as a
construction zone, railroad, etc.
The vehicle drives inside a building,
such as a basement parking lot
The camera does not recognize
the entire vehicle in front
The camera is damaged
The brightness outside is too low
such as when the headlamps are
not on at night or the vehicle is
going through a tunnel
The shadow is on the road by a
median strip, trees, etc.
The vehicle drives through a toll-
gate
The windscreenglass is fogged up;
a clear view of the road is obstruct-
ed
The rear part of the vehicle in front
is not normally visible (the vehicle
turns in other direction or the vehi-
cle is overturned.)
The adverse road conditions cause
excessive vehicle vibrations whilst
driving

5-64
Driving your vehicle
The sensor recognition changes
suddenly when passing over a
speed bump.
The vehicle in front is moving verti-
cally to the driving direction.
The vehicle in front is stopped ver-
tically.
The vehicle in front is driving
towards your vehicle or reversing.
You are on a roundabout and the
vehicle in front circles.
Driving on a curve
The performance of the FCA sys-
tem may be limited when driving
on a curved road.
On curved roads, the other vehicle
on the same lane is not recognized
and the FCA system's perform-
ance may be degraded. This may
result in unnecessary alarm or
braking or no alarm or braking
when necessary.
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, whilst 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 to be sure that the road con-
ditions permit safe operation of
FCA.
Driving on a slope
The performance of the FCA
decreases whilst 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 whilst
passing over a slope, you may
experience sharp deceleration.

5-66
Driving your vehicle
Always keep your eyes forward
whilst driving upward or downward
on a slope, and, if necessary,
depress the brake pedal to reduce
your driving speed in order to
maintain distance.
Changing lanes
When a vehicle changes lanes in
front of you, the FCA system may
not immediately detect the vehicle,
especially if the vehicle changes
lanes abruptly. In this case, you
must maintain a safe braking dis-
tance, and if necessary, depress
the brake pedal to reduce your
driving speed in order to maintain a
safe distance.When driving in stop-and-go traffic,
and a stopped vehicle in front of
you merges out of the lane, the
FCA system may not immediately
detect the new vehicle that is now
in front of you. In this case, you
must maintain a safe braking dis-
tance, and if necessary, depress
the brake pedal to reduce your
driving speed in order to maintain a
safe distance.

Detecting the vehicle in front of you
If 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, additional special atten-
tion is required. The FCA system
may not be able to detect the cargo
extending from the vehicle. In
these instances, you must main-
tain a safe braking distance from
the rearmost object, and if neces-
sary, depress the brake pedal to
reduce your driving speed in order
to maintain distance.
Detecting pedestrians or
cyclists (if equipped)
The sensor may be limited when:
The pedestrian or cyclist is not fully
detected by the camera recogni-
tion system, for example, if the
pedestrian is leaning over or is not
fully walking upright
The pedestrian or cyclist is moving
very quickly or appears abruptly in
the camera detection area
The pedestrian or cyclist is wear-
ing clothing that easily blends into
the background, making it difficult
to be detected by the camera
recognition system
The outside lighting is too bright
(e.g. when driving in bright sunlight
or in sun glare) or too dark (e.g.
when driving on a dark rural road
at night)
It is difficult to detect and distin-
guish the pedestrian or cyclist from
other objects in the surroundings,
for example, when there is a group
of pedestrians, cyclists or a large
crowd There is an item similar to a per-
son's body structure
The pedestrian or cyclist is small
The pedestrian has impaired
mobility
The sensor recognition is limited
The radar sensor or camera is
blocked 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
When light coming from a street
light or an oncoming vehicle is
reflected on a wet road surface
such as a puddle in the road
The field of view in front is
obstructed by sun glare
The windscreen glass is fogged
up; a clear view of the road is
obstructed
The adverse road conditions cause
excessive vehicle vibrations whilst
driving
The sensor recognition changes
suddenly when passing over a
speed bump
OAE056105

5-68
Driving your vehicle
You are on a roundabout
The pedestrian or cyclist suddenly
interrupts in front of the vehicle
The cyclist in front is riding inter-
sected with the driving direction
There is any other electromagnetic
interference
The construction area, rail or other
metal object is near the cyclist
The bicycle material is not reflect-
ed well on the radar
Information
In some instances, the FCA system
may be cancelled when subjected to
electromagnetic interference.

(Continued)
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, we
recommend that you have
your vehicle inspected by an
authorised HYUNDAI dealer.
Do not use the Forward
Collision avoidance Assist
(FCA) system when towing a
vehicle. Application of the
FCA system whilst towing
may adversely affect the safe-
ty of your vehicle or the tow-
ing 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 help detect and monitor the
vehicle ahead or detect a
pedestrian or cyclist (if
equipped) 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.

System description
Blind-Spot Collision Warning
(BCW)
The Blind-Spot Collision Warning
System (BCW) uses radar sensors in
the rear bumper to monitor and warn
the driver when it detects an
approaching vehicle in the driver's
blind spot area.1) Blind-Spot Area
The blind spot detection range varies
relative to vehicle speed.
Note that if your vehicle is traveling
much faster than the vehicles around
you, the warning will not occur.2) Closing at high speed
The Lane Change Assist feature will
alert you when it detects a vehicle is
approaching in an adjacent lane at a
high rate of speed. If the driver acti-
vates the turn signal when the sys-
tem detects an oncoming vehicle,
the system sounds an audible alert.
