Prerequisite for activation
FCA gets ready to be activated, when
‘Active Assist’ or ‘Warning Only’ under
Forward Safety is selected in the cluster
LCD display, and when the following
prerequisites are satisfied.
- ESC (Electronic Stability Control) is on.
- Vehicle speed is over 6 mph (10 km/h ).
(FCA is only activated within a certain
speed range.)
- The system detects a pedestrian, cyclist or a vehicle in front, which may
collide with your vehicle. However,
FCA may not be 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, condition of the
vehicle, the direction of pedestrian or
cyclist or speed. If you select "Warning
Only", only warnings occur.
WARNING
To avoid driver distractions, do not
attempt to set or cancel FCA while
driving the vehicle. Always completely
stop the vehicle at a safe place before
setting or canceling the system.
FCA automatically activates upon
placing the ignition switch to the ON
position. The driver can deactivate FCA
by canceling the system setting on the
cluster LCD display or infotainment
system display (if equipped).
FCA automatically deactivates upon
canceling ESC (Electronic Stability
Control). When ESC is canceled, FCA
cannot be activated in the LCD display
or infotainment system display (if
equipped). In this situation, the FCA
warning light will illuminate which is
normal.
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 is imminent.
Collision warning (First warning)
ODN8H069201LODN8H069201L
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.

When FCA is not working properly, FCA
w
arning light () will illuminate and the
warning message will appear for a few
seconds. After the message disappears,
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. Both FCA warning light and
warning message will disappear once the
ESC warning light issue is resolved.
WARNING
• FCA is only a supplemental system
for the driver's convenience. The
driver should hold the responsibility
to control the vehicle operation. Do
not solely depend on FCA system.
Rather, maintain a safe braking
distance, and, if necessary, depress
the brake pedal to reduce the driving
speed or to stop the vehicle.
• In certain instances and under
certain driving conditions, FCA
system may activate unintentionally.
This initial warning message appears
on the LCD display with a warning
chime.
Also due to sensing limitations, in
certain situations, the front radar
sensor or camera recognition
system may not detect the vehicle,
pedestrian or cyclist (if equipped)
ahead. FCA system may not activate
and the warning message may not be
displayed.
• Even if there is any problem with
the brake control function of FCA
system, the vehicle’s basic braking
performance will operate normally.
However, brake control function for
avoiding collision will not activate.
