System Malfunction
Check Forward Collision Avoidance
Assist system
When the FCA is not workingproperly, the FCA warning light
( ) will illuminate and the warn-
ing message will appear for a few
seconds. After the message dis-
appears, 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 prematurely. This ini-
tial 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 or pedestri-
an ahead. The FCA system
may not activate and the
warning message will not be
displayed.
WARNING If there is a malfunction with
the FCA system, the Forward
Collision avoidance assist
system is not applied even
though the braking system is
operating normally.
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.

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
The FCA system does not
detect cross traffic vehicles
that are approaching.
The 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.
The FCA system may not acti-
vate according to the road
conditions, inclement weath-
er, driving conditions or traffic
conditions.
Occupants may get injured, if
the vehicle abruptly stops by
the activated FCA system. Pay
extreme caution.
The FCA system does not
detect all vehicles.
The FCA system operates
only to help detect vehicles or
pedestrians in front of the
vehicle.
The FCA system does not
operate when the vehicle is in
reverse.
The FCA system is not
designed to detect other
objects on the road such as
animals.
The FCA system does not
detect vehicles in the oppo-
site lane.

Information
In some instances, the FCA system
may be canceled when subjected to
electromagnetic interference.
Information
This device complies with Part 15 of
the FCC rules.
Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmfulinterference.
2. This device must accept any inter- ference received, including inter-
ference that may cause undesired
operation.
i
i
Do not use the Forward
Collision Avoidance Assist
(FCA) system when towing a
vehicle. Application of the
FCA system while towing may
adversely affect the safety of
your vehicle or the towing
vehicle.
Use extreme caution when 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.
Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist system may operate
when an object, which has
similar shape or characteris-
tic to a vehicle or pedestrian,
is detected.
The FCA system is designed
to help detect and monitor the
vehicle ahead to help detect a
pedestrian in the roadway
through radar signals and
camera recognition. It is not
designed to detect bicycles,
motorcycles, or smaller
wheeled objects such as lug-
gage bags, shopping carts, or
strollers.
Never try to test the operation
of the FCA system. Doing so
may cause severe injury or
death.

System Description
Blind-Spot Collision Warning(BCW)
The Blind-Spot Collision Warning
(BCW) system uses radar sensors in
the rear bumper to monitor and warn
the driver of an approaching vehicle
in the driver's blind spot area.
1) Blind-Spot Area
The blind spot detection range varies
relative to vehicle speed.
Note that if your vehicle is traveling
much faster than the vehicles around
you, the warning will not occur. 2) Closing at high speed
The Lane Change Assist feature will
alert you when a vehicle is approach-
ing in an adjacent lane at a high rate
of speed. If the driver activates the
turn signal when the system detects
an oncoming vehicle, the system
sounds an audible alert.
Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance
Assist (BCA)
The Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance
Assist (BCA) system helps detect the
front lane through the camera
installed on the upper front wind-
shield and helps detect the side/rear
areas through radar sensors.
The Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance
Assist system may activate the
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) in
accordance with a colliding possibili-
ty with an approaching vehicle while
changing lanes. It is to help the col-
liding risk or mitigate the colliding
damage.

System Setting and Activation
System setting
The driver can activate the systemby placing the ignition switch to the
ON position and by selecting 'User
Settings →Driver Assistance →
Blind-Spot Safety'
- BCA and BCW turn on and are ready to be activated when
'Active Assist' is selected. Then,
if a vehicle approaches the dri-
ver's blind spot area a warning
sounds or braking power is
applied.
The Blind-Spot Collision
Warning (BCW) system and
Blind-Spot Collision-
Avoidance Assist (BCA) sys-
tem may not detect every
object alongside the vehicle.
Always be aware of road con-
ditions while driving and be
alert for unexpected situa-
tions even though the Blind-
Spot Collision Warning sys-
tem and Blind-Spot Collision-
Avoidance Assist system are
operating.
The Blind-Spot Collision
Warning (BCW) system and
Blind-Spot Collision-
Avoidance Assist (BCA) sys-
tem are supplemental sys-
tems to assist you. Do not
entirely rely on the systems.
Always pay attention, while
driving, for your safety.
The Blind-Spot Collision
Warning (BCW) system and
Blind-Spot Collision-
Avoidance Assist (BCA) sys-
tem are not substitutes for
proper and safe driving.
Always drive safely and use
caution when changing lanes
or backing up the vehicle.

Driving your vehicle- BCW turns on and is ready to be activated when 'Warning Only' is
selected. Then, if a vehicle
approaches the driver's blind
spot area a warning sounds but
braking is not applied.
- The system is deactivated and the indicator on the BCW/BCA
button is turned off when 'Off' is
selected.
If you press the BCW/BCA switchwhile 'Active Assist' or 'Warning
Only' is selected the indicator on
the switch will turn off and the sys-
tem will deactivate.
If you press the BCW/BCA switch while the system is canceled the
indicator on the button illuminates
and the system activates. In this
case, the system returns to the
state before the engine was turned
off.
When the system is initially turned
on and when the engine is turned
off then on again while the system
is in activation, the warning light
will illuminate for 3 seconds on the
outer side view mirror. If the engine is turned off then on
again, the system maintains the
previous state.
The driver can select the initial warning activation time in the User
Settings in the LCD display by
selecting 'User Settings → Driver
Assistance →Warning Timing'.
