2020 Hyundai Ioniq Plug-in Hybrid warning light

5-48
- 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 ahead
before the initial 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.

ance of the view camera.The sensing performance of the
sensor may be affected if the fol-
lowing instructions are not fol-
lowed.
Always keep the camera sensor
clean and free of dirt and debris.
Use only genuine parts to repair
or replace a damaged sensor.
Be careful not to apply unneces-
sary force on the camera sensor. 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
the vehicle be inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer. NEVER install any accessories
or stickers on the front wind-
shield, or tint the front wind-
shield.

Driving your vehicle
FCA is only a supplemental
system for the driver's con-
venience. The driver should

trol the vehicle operation. Do

safe braking distance, and, if
necessary, depress the brake
pedal to reduce the driving
speed.

under certain driving condi-
tions, FCA system may unin-
tentionally activate. This initial
warning message appears on

with the brake control function
of FCA system, the vehicle's
basic braking performance will
operate normally. However,

vate.
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.
(Continued)
(Continued)
FCA system may not activate
if the driver applies the brake
pedal to avoid a collision.
The brake control may be
insufficient, possibly causing
a collision, if a vehicle in front
abruptly stops. Always pay
extreme caution.
Occupants may get injured, if
the vehicle abruptly stops by
the activated FCA system. Pay
extreme caution.
FCA system operates only to
help detect vehicles in front of
