2020 Hyundai Ioniq Plug-in Hybrid alarm

5-51
Driving your vehicle
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.
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.
FCA provides additional braking
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.
FCA brake control is automatically
canceled, when risk factors disap-
pear.

The driver should always use
extreme caution while operat-
ing the vehicle, whether or not
there is a warning message or
alarm from 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,
Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist system 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 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.
WARNING
FCA system logic operates
within certain parameters, such
as the distance from the vehi-
cle, ahead, the speed of the
vehicle ahead, and the driver's
vehicle speed. Certain condi-
tions such as inclement weath-
er and road conditions may
affect the operation of FCA sys-
tem.
WARNING

5-57
Driving your vehicle
It is difficult to detect and distin-
guish the pedestrian from other
objects in the surroundings, for
example, when there is a group of
pedestrians or a large crowd.
There is an item similar to a per-
son's body structure.
The pedestrian is small.
The pedestrian has impaired
mobility.
When the pedestrian suddenly
interrupts in front of the vehicle
Driving on a curve
The performance of Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist system
may be limited when driving on a
curved road.
The front camera recognition sys-
tem may not detect the vehicle
traveling in front on a curved road.
This may result in no alarm and
braking when necessary.
Always pay attention to road and
driving conditions, and if neces-
sary, depress the brake pedal to
reduce your driving speed in order
to maintain a safe distance.Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
system may recognize a vehicle in
the next lane or outside the lane
when driving on a curved road.
If this occurs, the system may unnec-
essarily alarm the driver and apply
the brake. Always pay attention to
road and driving conditions, while
driving.

Driving on a slope
The performance of Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist system
may be decreased while driving
upward or downward on a slope.
The front camera recognition may
not detect the vehicle in front. This
may result in unnecessary alarm
and braking or no alarm and brak-
ing when necessary.
When the system suddenly recog-
nizes the vehicle in front while
passing over a slope, you may
experience sharp deceleration.Always keep your eyes forward
while 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, Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist 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.

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
system is designed to help detect
and monitor the vehicle ahead or
detect a pedestrian or cyclists in the
roadway through front radar signals
and front view camera recognition to
warn the driver that a collision is
imminent, and if necessary, apply
emergency braking.
❈FCA stands for Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist.
❈When Smart Cruise Control is
selected, it will be operated for the

Take the following precautions
when using Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist system:
This system is only a supple-
mental system and it is not
intended to, nor does it
replace the need for extreme
care and attention of the driv-
er. The sensing range and
objects detectable by the sen-
sors are limited. Pay attention
to the road conditions at all
times.
Drive at posted speed limits
and accordance to road con-
ditions.
Always drive cautiously to
prevent unexpected and sud-
den situations from occur-
ring. FCA system may not
always stop the vehicle com-
pletely and is only intended to
help mitigate a collision that
is imminent.
WARNING
OAEPH059649L

5-62
Driving your vehicle
- 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 the
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). (FCA is only activated with-
in a certain speed range.)

activated or may only sound a
warning alarm depending on the
driving or vehicle conditions.
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
upon placing the Engine
start/stop button to the ON
position. The driver can deacti-
vate FCA by canceling the sys-
tem setting on the cluster 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.
