OQX069053L
Check Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
system
• When FCA is not working properly,
FCA warning 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.
• FCA warning message may appear
along with the illumination of the ESC
(Electronic Stability Control) warning
light.
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 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 conditions, FCA
system may activate prematurely.
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
or pedestrian ahead. FCA system
may not activate and the warning
message will not be displayed.
• If there is a malfunction with 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.
• FCA system may activate during
braking and the vehicle may stop
suddenly shifting loose objects
toward the passengers. Always keep
loose objects secured.

While Driving
6-64
• FCA system may not activate if the
driver applies the brake pedal to
avoid a collision.
• 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 activated
FCA system. Pay extreme caution.
WARNING
• FCA system operates only to detect
vehicles or pedestrians in front of the
vehicle.
• FCA system does not operate when
the vehicle is in reverse.
• FCA system is not designed to detect
other objects on the road such as
animals.
• FCA system does not detect vehicles
in the opposite lane.
• FCA system does not detect cross
traffic vehicles that are approaching.
• FCA system cannot detect the
driver approaching the side view of
a parked vehicle (for example on a
dead end street.)
In these cases, you must maintain a
safe braking distance, and if necessary,
depress the brake pedal to reduce the
driving speed in order to maintain a
safe distance.
Limitations of the System
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
system is designed to help monitor
the vehicle ahead or a pedestrian on
the roadway through radar signals and
camera recognition to warn the driver
that a collision is imminent, and if
necessary, apply emergency braking.
In certain situations, the radar sensor or
the camera may not be able to detect
the vehicle or pedestrian ahead. In these
cases, FCA system 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 front view camera or radar sensor
is blocked 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
electromagnetic waves
• There is severe irregular reflection
from the radar sensor
• The radar/camera sensor recognition
is limited
• The vehicle in front is too small to be
detected (for example a motorcycle or
a bicycle, etc.)
• The vehicle in front is an oversize
vehicle or trailer that is too big to be
detected by the camera recognition
system (for example a tractor trailer,
etc.)

06
6-65
• The driver'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 properly turned ON
• The outside brightness changes
suddenly, for example when entering
or exiting a tunnel
• 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 windshield glass is fogged up; a
clear view of the road is obstructed
• The vehicle in front is driving
erratically
• The vehicle drives through a
construction area, on an unpaved
road, or above metal materials, such
as a railway
• The vehicle drives inside a building,
such as a basement parking lot
• The adverse road conditions cause
excessive vehicle vibrations while
driving
• The vehicle in front is moving
vertically to the driving direction
• The vehicle in front is stopped
vertically
• The vehicle in front is driving towards
your vehicle or reversing
OQX069051
• Driving on a curve
The performance of FCA system may
be limited when driving on a curved
road.
In certain instances on a curved road,
FCA system may activate prematurely.
Also, in certain instances the front
radar sensor or camera recognition
system may not detect the vehicle
traveling 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.

While Driving
6-66
OQX069052
FCA system may recognize a vehicle
in the next lane when driving on a
curved road.
In this case, the system may
unnecessarily alarm the driver and
apply the brake.
Always pay attention to road and
driving conditions, while 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 system from unnecessarily
decelerating your vehicle.
OQX059032L
• Driving on a slope
The performance of Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist system may be
decreased while driving upward or
downward on a slope.
The front camera recognition may not
detect the vehicle or pedestrian in
front.
This may result in unnecessary alarm
and braking when necessary.
When FCA suddenly recognizes the
vehicle in front while passing over
a slope, you may experience sharp
deceleration.
Always keep your eyes forward while
driving upward or downward on a
slope, and, if necessary, depress the
brake pedal to reduce your driving
speed in order to maintain distance.

6-67
OQX059033L
• Changing lanes
When a vehicle changes lanes in
front of you, FCA system may not
immediately detect the vehicle,
especially if the vehicle changes
lanes abruptly. In this case, you 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.
OQX059034L
When driving in stop-and-go traffic,
and a stopped vehicle in front of you
merges out of the lane, FCA system
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 necessary,
depress the brake pedal to reduce
your driving speed in order to
maintain a safe distance.
OQX069007L
• 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 attention is required. 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 necessary,
depress the brake pedal to reduce
your driving speed in order to
maintain distance.

While Driving
6-68
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
background, making it difficult to be
detected by the camera recognition
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 distinguish
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 person's
body structure
• The pedestrian is small
• The pedestrian has impaired mobility
• The sensor recognition is limited
• The radar sensor or camera is blocked
with a foreign object or debris
• Inclement weather such as heavy rain
or snow obscures the field of view of
