Information
• The warning chime will turn offwhen:
- The detected vehicle moves out ofthe sensing area or
- when the vehicle is right behind your vehicle or
- when the vehicle is not approach- ing your vehicle or
- when the other vehicle slows down.
• The system may not operate proper- ly due to other factors or circum-
stances. Always pay attention to
your surroundings.
• If the sensing area near the rear bumper is blocked by either a wall
or barrier or by a parked vehicle,
the system sensing area may be
reduced. The system may not work prop-
erly when the bumper has been
damaged, or if the rear bumper
has been replaced or repaired.
The sensing range differs some- what according to the width of
the road. When the road is nar-
row, the system may detect
other vehicles in the next lane
OR when the road is wide, the
system may not detect other
vehicles in the next lane.
The system may turn off due to strong electromagnetic waves.
NOTICE
i
The warning light on the outer
side view mirror will illumi-
nate whenever a vehicle is
detected at the rear side by
the system.
To avoid accidents, do not
focus only on the warning
light and neglect to see the
surrounding of the vehicle.
Drive safely even though the
vehicle is equipped with a
Blind-Spot Collision Warning
(BCW) system and Rear
Cross-Traffic Collision
Warning (RCCW). Do not sole-
ly rely on the system but
check your surrounding
before changing lanes or
backing the vehicle up.
The system may not alert the
driver in some conditions so
always check your surround-
ings while driving.
The Blind-Spot Collision
Warning (BCW) system and
Rear Cross-Traffic Collision

Driving your vehicle
The Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist (FCA) system is designed to
help detect and monitor the vehicle
ahead in the roadway through camera
recognition to warn the driver that a
collision is imminent, and if necessary,
apply emergency braking.
The camera type Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist (FCA) systemdetects the vehicle ahead in theroadway through camera.
System setting and activation
System setting
The Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) system is enabled
whenever the vehicle is turned on.
To turn off the system, go to the
'User settings → Driver assistance'
and deselect 'FCA (Forward
Collision Avoidance Assist)' on the
cluster LCD display.
The warning light illumi-
nates on the cluster,
when you cancel the 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 the FCA is acti-
vated, have the system checked by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Take the following precautions
when using the Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist
(FCA) 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.
NEVER drive too fast in accor-
dance with the road condi-
tions or while cornering.
Always drive cautiously to
prevent unexpected and sud-
den situations from occur-
ring. FCA does not stop the
vehicle completely and is not
a collision avoidance system.
WARNING

5-56
The driver can select the initial warn-ing activation time on the LCD dis-
play.
Go to the 'User settings → Driver
assistance →FCW (Forward
Collision Warning) →Late/Normal/
Early'. The options for the initial Forward
Collision Warning includes the fol-
lowing:
- Early:
When this condition is selected,
the initial Forward Collision
Warning is activated earlier than
normal. This setting maximizes the
amount of distance between the
vehicle ahead before the initial
warning occurs.
Even though, 'Early' is selected if
the front vehicle suddenly stops
the initial warning activation time
may not seem fast.
If you feel the warning activates too
early, set the Forward Collision
Warning to "Normal".
- Normal: When this condition is selected,
the initial Forward Collision
Warning is activated normally. This
setting allows for a nominal
amount of distance between the
vehicle ahead before the initial
warning occurs. - Late:
When this condition is selected,
the initial Forward Collision
Warning is activated later than nor-
mal. This setting reduces the
amount of distance between the
vehicle ahead before the initial
warning occurs.
Even though, 'Late' is selected if
the front vehicle suddenly stops
the initial warning activation time
may not seem late.
Select 'Late' when traffic is light
and when driving speed is slow.

Prerequisite for activation
The FCA gets ready to be activated,
when the FCA is selected on the
LCD display, and when the following
prerequisites are satisfied.
- The ESC (Electronic StabilityControl) is on.
- Vehicle speed is over 10 km/h (6 mph) and below 60 km/h (38 mph).
(The FCA is only activated within a
certain speed range.)
- The system detects a vehicle in front, which may collide with your
vehicle. (The FCA may not be acti-
vated or may sound a warning
alarm in accordance with the driv-
ing situation or vehicle condition.)
FCA warning message and
system control
The FCA produces warning mes-
sages and warning alarms in accor-
dance with the collision risk levels,
such as abrupt stopping of the vehi-
cle in front or insufficient braking dis-
tance. Also, it controls the brakes in
accordance with the collision risk lev-
els.
The driver can select the initial warn-
ing activation time in the User
Settings on the LCD display. The
options for the initial Forward
Collision Warning include Late,
Normal or Early initial warning time.

Completely stop the vehicle
on a safe location before
operating the switch on the
steering wheel to activate/
deactivate the FCA system.
The FCA automatically acti-
vates upon placing the
POWER button to the ON
position. The driver can deac-
tivate the FCA by canceling
the system setting on the LCD
display.
The FCA automatically deacti-
vates upon canceling the ESC
(Electronic Stability Control).
When the ESC is canceled,
the FCA cannot be activated
on the LCD display. The FCA
warning light will illuminate
which is normal.
WARNING

5-58
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. - Your vehicle speed may deceler-ate moderately.
- The FCA system limitedly con- trols the brakes to preemptively
mitigate impact in a collision.
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.
- The FCA system limitedly con-trols the brakes to preemptively
mitigate impact in a collision. The
brake control is maximized just
before a collision.
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 depress-
es 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 canceled, when risk factors
disappear.
Driving your vehicle
OOS057016LOOS057017L
The driver should always use
extreme caution while operating
the vehicle, whether or not there
is a warning message or alarm
from the FCA system.
CAUTION

Driving your vehicle
FCA sensor
In order for the FCA system to oper-
ate properly, always make sure the
camera is clean and free of dirt,
snow, and debris. Dirt, snow, or for-
eign substances on the surface may
adversely affect the sensing perform-
ance of the camera. Always keep the camera sensor
clean and free of dirt and debris.
Be careful not to apply unneces- sary force on the camera sensor.
If the sensor is forcibly moved
out of proper alignment, the FCA
system may not operate correct-
ly. In this case, a warning mes-
sage may not be displayed. Have
the vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Use only genuine HYUNDAI parts to repair or replace a dam-
aged sensor.
NOTICE
5
The FCA 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
The FCA system logic operates
within certain parameters, such
as the distance from the vehicle
ahead, the speed of the vehicle
ahead, and the driver's vehicle
speed. Certain conditions such
as inclement weather and road
conditions may affect the oper-
ation of the FCA system.
