Driving your vehicle
5Driving with wheels and tires with
different sizes may cause the ESC
system to malfunction. Before
replacing tires, make sure all four
tires and wheels are the same
size. Never drive the vehicle with
different sized wheels and tires
installed.
ESC OFF usage
When Driving
The ESC OFF mode should only be
used briefly to help free the vehicle if
stuck in snow or mud, by temporarily
stopping operation of the ESC, to
maintain wheel torque.
To turn ESC off while driving, press
the ESC OFF button while driving on
a flat road surface. Do not allow wheel(s) of one
axle to spin excessively while
the ESC, ABS, and parking brake
warning lights are displayed.
The repairs would not be cov-
ered by the vehicle warranty.
Reduce vehicle power and do
not spin the wheel(s) excessive-
ly while these lights are dis-
played.
When operating the vehicle on a
dynamometer, make sure the
ESC is turned off (ESC OFF light
illuminated).
Information
Turning the ESC off does not affect
ABS or standard brake system opera-
tion.

- If you select 'Warning Only', FCA
system activates and produces
only warning alarms in accor-
dance with the collision risk lev-
els. Braking assist will not be
applied in this setting.
- If you select 'Off', FCA system
deactivates,
The warning light illumi-
nates on the instrument
cluster, when you cancel
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 FCA is activated, we recom-
mend that you have the system
checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer. Selecting Warning Timing
The driver can select the initial
warning activation time from the
User Settings in the cluster LCD
display by selecting 'User Settings
→Driver Assistance →Warning
Timing →Normal/Late'.
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
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, pedes-
trian or cyclist ahead before the ini-
tial 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 timing of other systems may
change. Always be aware before
changing the warning timing.

Prerequisite for activation
FCA gets ready to be activated,
when 'Active Assist' or 'Warning
Only' under Forward Safety is select-
ed in the cluster LCD display, and
when the following 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,
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.
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.To avoid driver distractions,
do not attempt to set or can-
cel FCA while driving the vehi-
cle. Always completely stop
the vehicle at a safe place
before setting or canceling
the system.
FCA automatically activates
when the POWER button is in
the ON position. The driver
can deactivate FCA by cancel-
ing the system setting on the
LCD display.
FCA automatically deactivates
upon canceling the ESC
(Electronic Stability Control).
When the ESC is canceled,
FCA cannot be activated on
the LCD display. In this situa-
tion, the FCA warning light will
illuminate which is normal.

Collision Warning
(First warning)
This warning message appears on
the LCD display with a warning
chime. Additionally, some vehicle
system intervention occurs to help
decelerate the vehicle. If FCA detects a vehicle in front,
the system operates when your
vehicle speed is between 5 mph (8
km/h) and 110 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 or
cyclist in front, the system operates
when your vehicle speed is
between 5 mph (8 km/h) and 45
mph (70 km/h). Maximum vehicle
speed may decrease depending
on the condition of the pedestrian
or cyclist ahead and surroundings.
If you select 'Warning Only' for the
system setting, FCA system acti-
vates and produces only warning
alarms in accordance with the col-
lision risk levels. You should control
the brake directly because 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 to help
decelerate the vehicle.

(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, FCA system may not
operate correctly. In this case, a
warning message may not be
displayed. We recommend that
you have the vehicle inspected
by an authorized HYUNDAI deal-
er.
If the front bumper becomes
damaged in the area around the
front radar sensor, FCA system
may not operate properly. We
recommend that you have the
vehicle inspected by authorized
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-
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.
Information
We recommend that you have the sys-
tem checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer when:
• The windshield glass is replaced.
• The front radar sensor or cover gets
damaged or replaced.

WARNING
OIK057091L

Driving your vehicle
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 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, FCA system may acti-
vate unintentionally. This ini-
tial 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 front view
camera recognition system
may not detect the vehicle,
pedestrian or cyclist ahead.
FCA system may not activate
and the warning message may
not be displayed.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Even if there is any problem
with the brake control func-
tion of FCA system, the vehi-
cle's basic braking perform-
ance will operate normally.
However, brake control func-
tion 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.
FCA system may activate dur-
ing braking and the vehicle
may stop suddenly shifting
loose objects toward the pas-
sengers. Always keep loose
objects secured.
FCA system may not activate
if the driver applies the brake
pedal to avoid collision.
(Continued)WARNING
FCA system does not operate
when the vehicle is in reverse.
FCA system is not designed
to detect other objects on the
road such as animals.
(Continued)
WARNING
(Continued)
If a vehicle in front abruptly
stops, the brake control may
not work possibly causing a
collision.
Occupants may get injured, if
the vehicle abruptly stops by
activated FCA system. Pay
extreme caution.
FCA system operates only
when the system detects vehi-
cles, pedestrian, or cyclist
directly in front of the vehicle.
