2020 HYUNDAI NEXO warning light

5-40
Driving your vehicle
The warning light illu-
minates on the LCD
display, when you can-
cel the FCA system.
The driver can monitor the FCA
ON/OFF status on the AVN screen.
Also, the warning light illuminates
when the ESC (Electronic Stability
Control) is turned off. If the warning
light remains ON when the FCA is
activated, have the system
checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
The driver can select the initial
warning activation time on the AVN
screen.
Go to the "Vehicle settings →Driver
assistance →Warning time →
Normal/Later"The options for the initial Forward
Collision Warning includes the fol-
lowing:
- Normal :
When this condition is selected,
the initial Forward Collision
Warning is activated sensitively. If
you feel the warning activates too
early, set the Forward Collision
Warning to 'Later'.
Even though, 'Normal' is selected if
the front vehicle suddenly stops
the initial warning activation time
may not seem fast.
- Later :
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, pedestrian or cyclists
ahead before the initial warning
occurs.
Select 'Later' when traffic is light
and when driving speed is slow.
Information
If you change the warning timing, the
warning time of other systems may
change. Always be aware before
changing the warning timing.

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, insufficient braking dis-
tance, or pedestrian or cyclists
detection. Also, it controls the brakes
in accordance with the collision risk
levels.
The driver can select the initial warn-
ing activation time in the Vehicle set-
tings in the AVN screen. The options
for the initial Forward Collision
Warning include Early or Later 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 AVN
screen.
The FCA automatically deacti-
vates upon canceling the ESC
(Electronic Stability Control).
When the ESC is canceled,
the FCA cannot be activated
on the AVN screen. The FCA
warning light will illuminate
which is normal.

System Malfunction
Check Forward Collision Avoidance
Assist system
When the FCA is not working prop-
erly, the FCA warning light ( )
will illuminate and the warning
message will appear for a few sec-
onds. After the message disap-
pears, the master warning light
( ) will illuminate. In this case,
have the vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
The FCA warning message may
appear along with the illumination
of the ESC (Electronic Stability
Control) warning light.
The FCA is only a supplemen-
tal system for the driver’s con-
venience. The driver should
hold the responsibility to con-
trol the vehicle operation. Do
not solely depend on the FCA
system. Rather, maintain a
safe braking distance, and, if
necessary, depress the brake
pedal to reduce the driving
speed.
In certain instances and
under certain driving condi-
tions, the FCA system may
activate unintentionally. This
initial warning message
appears on the LCD display
with a warning chime.
Also, in certain instances the
front radar sensor or camera
recognition system may not
detect the vehicle, pedestrian
or cyclists ahead. The FCA
system may not activate and
the warning message will not
be displayed.
WARNING Even if there is any problem
with the brake control func-
tion of the FCA system, the
vehicle's basic braking per-
formance will operate normal-
ly. However, brake control
function 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.
The FCA system may activate
during braking and the vehi-
cle may stop suddenly shift-
ing loose objects toward the
passengers. Always keep
loose objects secured.
The FCA system may not acti-
vate if the driver applies the
brake pedal to avoid a colli-
sion.
The brake control may not
work, possibly causing a colli-
sion, if a vehicle in front
abruptly stops. Always pay
extreme caution.

Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance
Assist (BCA) system
The Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance
Assist (BCA) system may apply brak-
ing power, when an approaching
vehicle is detected within a certain
distance next to or behind your vehi-
cle.
It gently applies braking power on
the tire, which is located in the oppo-
site side of the possibly-colliding
point. The instrument cluster will
inform the driver of the system acti-
vation.
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
(BCA) system. Do not solely
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.
WARNING
The driver should always use
extreme caution while operat-
ing the vehicle, whether or not
the warning light on the outer
side view mirror illuminates or
there is a warning alarm.
Playing the vehicle audio sys-
tem at high volume may offset
the Blind-Spot Collision
Warning system warning
sounds.
If any other warning sound
such as seat belt warning
chime is already generated,
the Blind-Spot Collision
Warning (BCW) system warn-
ing may not sound.

Front view camera
The front camera is a sensor detect-
ing the lane. If the sensor is covered
with snow, rain or foreign substance,
the system may temporarily be can-
celed. The system is canceled due to
the degradation of the sensor's
detection performance. Always keep
the sensor clean.
* Refer to Lane Keeping Assist
(LKA) System for cautions for the
front camera sensor.
Rear corner radar
The rear radars are the sensors
inside the rear bumper for detecting
the side and rear areas. Always keep
the rear bumper clean for proper
operation of the system.
The system may not work
properly when the bumper
has been damaged, or if the
rear bumper has been
replaced or repaired.
The sensing range differs
somewhat according to the
width of the road. When the
road is narrow, the system
may detect other vehicles in
the next lane.
The system may turn off due
to strong electromagnetic
waves.
Always keep the sensors
clean.
NEVER arbitrarily disassem-
ble the sensor component nor
apply any impact on the sen-
sor component.
Be careful not to apply unnec-
essary force on the radar sen-
sor or sensor cover. If the sen-
sor is forcibly moved out of
proper alignment, the system
may not operate correctly. In
this case, a warning message
may not be displayed. Have
the vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Do not apply foreign objects
such as a bumper sticker or a
bumper guard near the radar
sensor or apply paint to the
sensor area. Doing so may
adversely affect the perform-
ance of the sensor.
NEVER install any acces-
sories or stickers on the front
windshield, nor tint the front
windshield.
Pay extreme caution to keep
the camera sensor out of
water.
NEVER locate any reflective
objects (i.e. white paper, mir-
ror) over the crash pad. Any
light reflection may cause a
malfunction of the system.
