FCA sensor
In order for the FCA system to oper-
ate properly, always make sure the
view on the windscreen near the
camera is clean and free of dirt,
snow, and debris.
Dirt, snow, or foreign substances on
the front camera sensor may
adversely affect the performance of
the system.The sensing performance of the
sensor may be affected if the fol-
lowing instructions are not fol-
lowed.
Always keep the camera sensor
clean and free of dirt and debris.

or replace a damaged camera
sensor.
Be careful not to apply unneces-
sary force on the camera sensor. If
the sensor is forcibly moved out
of proper alignment, the FCA sys-
tem may not operate correctly. In
this case, a warning message may
not be displayed. We recommend
that you have the vehicle inspect-
ed by an authorised HYUNDAI
dealer.

Driving your vehicle
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.
WARNING

tem checked by an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer when:
• The windscreen glass is replaced.
• The camera or related parts are
repaired or removed.
Warning message and warning
light
FCA disabled (Forward Collision
Avoidance Assist). Camera obscured
When the front camera is blocked
with dirt, snow, or debris, the FCA
system operation may stop tem-
porarily. If this occurs, a warning
message will appear on the LCD dis-
play.

Driving your vehicle
OIK058091R
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 camera recognition sys-
tem may not detect the vehi-
cle ahead. The FCA system
may not activate and the
warning message will not be
displayed.
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, the brake control
function for avoiding a colli-
sion 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.WARNING

Driving your vehicle
Limitations of the system
The Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist (FCA) system is designed to
monitor the vehicle ahead on the
roadway using camera recognition to
warn the driver that a collision is
imminent, and if necessary, apply
emergency braking.
In certain situations, the camera may
not be able to detect the vehicle
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 camera is blocked with a for-
eign object or debris
The camera lens is contaminated
due to a tinted, filmed or coated
windscreen, damaged glass, or
foreign matter is stuck (sticker,
bug, etc.) on the glass
5
The brake control may be
insufficient, possibly causing
a collision, if a vehicle in front
abruptly stops. Always pay
extreme caution.
Occupants may get injured, if
the vehicle abruptly stops by
the activated FCA system. Pay
extreme caution.
The FCA system operates
only to detect a vehicle 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 pedestrians in front of
the vehicle.
The FCA system does not
detect vehicles in the oppo-
site lane.
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.
WARNING

5-88
Inclement weather such as heavy
rain or snow obscures the field of
view of the camera
There is interference from electro-
magnetic waves
The vehicle is on unpaved or
uneven rough surfaces, or road
with sudden gradient changes
The camera sensor recognition is
limited
The vehicle in front is too small to
be detected (for example a motor-
cycle etc.)

the entire vehicle in front
The vehicle in front is an oversize
vehicle or trailer that is too large to
be detected by the camera recog-
nition system (for example a tractor
trailer, etc.)
The camera's field of view is not
well illuminated (either too dark or
too much reflection or too much
backlight that obscures the field of
view) The vehicle in front does not have
their rear lights or their rear lights
does not turned ON or their rear
lights are located unusually.
The brightness outside changes
suddenly, for example when enter-
ing or exiting a tunnel
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 obstruct-
ed by sun glare or headlamps of
oncoming vehicle.
The windscreen glass is fogged up;
a clear view of the road is obstruct-
ed
The vehicle in front is driving errati-
cally
The vehicle is on unpaved or
uneven rough surfaces, or road
with sudden gradient changes.
The vehicle is driven near areas
containing metal substances as a
construction zone, railroad, etc.
The vehicle drives inside a building,
such as a basement parking lot The camera does not recognise
the entire vehicle in front.
The camera is damaged.
The brightness outside is too low
such as when the headlamps are
not on at night or the vehicle is
going through a tunnel.
A shadow is on the road cause by
a median strip, trees, etc.
The vehicle drives through a toll-
gate.
The rear part of the vehicle in front
is not normally visible. (the vehicle
turns in other direction or the vehi-
cle is overturned.)

Driving your vehicle
- Driving on a curve
The performance of the FCA sys-
tem may be limited when driving
on a curved road.
On curved roads, the other vehicle
on the same lane is not recognised
and the FCA system's perform-
ance may be degraded. This may
result in unnecessary alarm or
braking or no alarm or braking
when necessary.
Also, in certain instances the front
camera recognition system may
not detect the vehicle travelling on
a curved road.In these cases, the driver must
maintain a safe braking distance,
and if necessary, depress the
brake pedal to reduce your driving
speed in order to maintain a safe
distance.
The FCA system may recognise a
vehicle in the next lane when driving
on a curved road.
In this case, the system may unnec-
essarily alarm the driver and apply
the brake.
Always pay attention to road and
driving conditions, whilst driving. If
necessary, depress the brake pedal
to reduce your driving speed in order
to maintain a safe distance.Also, when necessary depress the
accelerator pedal to prevent the sys-
tem from unnecessarily decelerating
your vehicle.
Check to be sure that the road con-
ditions permit safe operation of the
FCA.
- Driving on a slope
The performance of the FCA
decreases whilst driving upward or
downward on a slope, not recog-
nising the vehicle in front in the
same lane. It may unnecessarily
produce the warning message and
the warning alarm, or it may not
produce the warning message and
the warning alarm at all.

When the FCA suddenly recognis-
es the vehicle in front whilst pass-
ing over a slope, you may experi-
ence sharp deceleration.
Always keep your eyes forward
whilst driving upward or downward
on a slope, and, if necessary,
depress the brake pedal to reduce
your driving speed in order to
maintain distance.
- Changing lanes
When a vehicle changes lanes in
front of you, the FCA system may
not immediately detect the vehicle,
especially if the vehicle changes
lanes abruptly. In this case, you
must maintain a safe braking dis-
tance, and if necessary, depress
the brake pedal to reduce your
driving speed in order to maintain a
safe distance.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, additional special atten-
tion is required. The FCA system
may not be able to detect the cargo
extending from the vehicle. In
these instances, you must main-
tain a safe braking distance from
the rearmost object, and if neces-
sary, depress the brake pedal to
reduce your driving speed in order
to maintain distance.Information
In some instances, the FCA system
may be cancelled when subjected to
electromagnetic interference.
