Limitations of the System
The Forward Collision avoidance
assist (FCA) system is designed to
monitor the vehicle ahead or a
pedestrian on the roadway through
radar signals and camera recogni-
tion to warn the driver that a collision
is imminent, and if necessary, apply
emergency braking.
In certain situations, the radar sen-
sor or the camera may not be able to
detect the vehicle or pedestrian
ahead. In these cases, the FCA sys-
tem may not operate normally. The
driver must pay careful attention in
the following situations where the
FCA operation may be limited.
Detecting vehicles
The sensor may be limited when:
The radar sensor or camera isblocked 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
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 or a bicycle, 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 driver's field of view is not well illuminated (either too dark or too
much reflection or too much back-
light that obscures the field of view)
The vehicle in front does not have their rear lights properly turned ONThe FCA system cannot
detect the driver approaching
the side view of a parked vehi-
cle (for example on a dead
end street.)
In these cases, you must main-
tain a safe braking distance,
and if necessary, depress the
brake pedal to reduce the driv-
ing speed in order to maintain a
safe distance.

Driving your vehicle
When driving in stop-and-go traffic,
and a stopped vehicle in front of you
merges out of the lane, the FCA sys-
tem may not immediately detect the
new vehicle that is now in front of
you. In this case, you must maintain
a safe braking distance, and if nec-
essary, 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, addi-
tional special attention is required.
The FCA system may not be able to
detect the cargo extending from the
vehicle. In these instances, you must
maintain a safe braking distance
from the rearmost object, and if nec-
essary, depress the brake pedal to
reduce your driving speed in order to
maintain distance.
Detecting pedestrians
(if equipped)
The sensor may be limited when:
The pedestrian is not fully detected
by the camera recognition system,
for example, if the pedestrian is
leaning over or is not fully walking
upright
The pedestrian is moving very quickly or appears abruptly in the
camera detection area
The pedestrian is wearing clothing that easily blends into the back-
ground, making it difficult to be
detected by the camera recogni-
tion 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 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

Driving your vehicleThe color of indicator will
change depending on the
condition of LKA system.
- White : Sensor does not detect
lane lines or vehicle speed
is under 40mph (64 km/h).
- Green : Sensor detects lane lines and the system is able to
control vehicle steering.
LKA system operation
To see the LKA system screen onthe LCD display in the cluster,
select Assist mode ( ). For more
details, refer to "LCD Display
Modes" in chapter 3.
When both lane lines are detected and all the conditions to activate
the LKA system are satisfied, a
green steering wheel indicator will
illuminate and the LKA system
indicator light will change from
white to green. This indicates that
the LKA system is in the
ENABLED state and the steering
wheel will be able to be controlled.
The Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)
system is a system to help pre-
vent the driver from leaving the
lane. However, the driver should
not solely rely on the system
but always check the road con-
ditions when driving.

If the system detects a lane line,the color changes from gray to
white.
If the system detects the left lane line, the left lane line color will
change from gray to white.
If the system detects the right lane line, the right lane line color will
change from gray to white.
Both lane lines must be detected for the system to fully activate. If your vehicle speed exceeds 40
mph (64 km/h) and the LKA sys-
tem button is ON, the system is
enabled. If your vehicle departs
from the projected lane in front of
you, the LKA system operates as
follows:
A visual warning appears on the
cluster LCD display. Either the left
lane line or the right lane line in the
cluster LCD display will blink
depending on which direction the
vehicle is veering.
If the steering wheel appears, the
system will help control the vehicle’s
steering to prevent the vehicle from
crossing the lane line.Keep hands on steering wheel
If the driver takes their hands off the
steering wheel for several seconds
while the LKA system is activated,
the system will warn the driver.
Information
If the steering wheel is held very light-
ly the message may still appear
because the LKA system may not rec-
ognize that the driver has their hands
on the wheel.

porarily
If the driver still does not have their
hands on the steering wheel after the
message "Keep hands on steering
wheel", the system will not control
the steering wheel and warn the driv-
er only when the driver crosses the
lane lines.
However, if the driver has their hands
on the steering wheel again, the sys-
tem will start controlling the steering
wheel.
Information
• Even though the steering is assistedby the system, the driver can still
steer to control the steering wheel.
• The steering wheel may feel heavier when the steering wheel is assisted
by the system than when it is not.
i
The driver is responsible for
accurate steering.
Turn off the system in below
situations.
- In bad weather
- In bad road condition
- When the steering wheelneeds to be controlled by the
driver frequently.

Limitations of the System
The LKA system may operate pre-
maturely even if the vehicle does not
depart from the intended lane, OR,
the LKA system may not warn you if
the vehicle leaves the intended lane
under the following circumstances:
When the lane and road condi-
tions are poor
It is difficult to distinguish the lanemarking from the road surface or
the lane marking is faded or not
clearly marked.
There are markings on the road surface that look like a lane line
that is inadvertently being detected
by the camera.
The lane line is merged or divided. (e.g. tollgate)
The lane number increases or decreases or the lane marker are
crossing complicatedly.
There are more than two lane lines on the road in front of you.

The lanes ahead are not visible due to rain, snow, water on the
road, damaged or stained road
surface, or other factors. The shadow is on the lane marker
by a median strip, trees, etc.
The lanes are incomplete or the area is in a construction zone.
There are crosswalk signs or other symbols on the road.
The lane line in a tunnel is stained with oil, etc.
When external condition is inter-
vened
The brightness outside changes suddenly such as when entering or
exiting a tunnel or passing under a
bridge.
The brightness outside is too low such as when the headlamps are
not on at night or the vehicle is
going through a tunnel or passing
under a bridge.
There is a boundary structure in the roadway such as a concrete
barrier, guardrail and reflector post
that is inadvertently being detected
by the 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 lane suddenly disappears such as at the intersection.
There is not enough distance between you and the vehicle in
front to be able to detect the lane
line or the vehicle ahead is driving
on the lane line.
Driving on a steep grade, over a hill, or when driving on a curved
road.
The adverse road conditions cause excessive vehicle vibrations while
driving.
The surrounding of the inside rear view mirror temperature is high
due to direct sunlight.
When front visibility is poor
The windshield or the LKA system camera lens is blocked with dirt or
debris.
The windshield glass is fogged up; a clear view of the road is obstruct-
ed.
Placing objects on the dashboard, etc.

Warning message
Smart Cruise Control disabled.
Radar blocked
When the sensor lens cover is
blocked with dirt, snow, or debris, the
Smart Cruise Control system opera-
tion may stop temporarily. If this
occurs, a warning message will
appear on the LCD display. Remove
any dirt, snow, or debris and clean
the radar sensor lens cover before
operating the Smart Cruise Control
system. The Smart Cruise Control
system may not properly activate, if
the radar is totally contaminated, or if
any substance is not detected after
turning ON the engine (e.g. in an
open terrain).
Information
The SCC operation is temporarily dis-
abled if the radar is blocked, but if
you wish to use conventional cruise
control mode (speed only control func-
tion), you must convert to the cruise
