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, cyclist detec-
tion. Also, it controls the brakes in
accordance with the collision risk lev-
els.
The driver can select the initial warn-
ing activation time in the User
Settings in the LCD display. The
options for the initial Forward Collision
Warning include EARLY, NORMAL, or
LATE initial warning time.
Collision Warning
(First warning)
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.
- Your vehicle speed may decelerate
moderately.
- The FCA system limitedly controls
the brakes to preemptively mitigate
impact in a collision.
•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 pressing the
Engine Start/Stop button to
the ON position. The driver
can deactivate the FCA by
canceling the system setting
on the LCD display.
•The FCA automatically deacti-
vates upon canceling the ESC
(Electronic Stability Control).
When the ESC is canceled,
the FCA cannot be activated
on the LCD display. The FCA
warning light will illuminate
which is normal.

Emergency Braking
(Second warning)
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.
- The FCA system limitedly controls
the brakes to preemptively mitigate
impact in a collision. The brake
control is maximized just before a
collision.
Brake operation
• In an urgent situation, the braking
system enters into the ready status
for prompt reaction against the dri-
ver’s depressing the brake pedal.
• The FCA provides additional brak-
ing power for optimum braking per-
formance, when the driver depress-
es the brake pedal.
• The braking control is automatical-
ly deactivated, when the driver
sharply depresses the accelerator
pedal, or when the driver abruptly
operates the steering wheel.
• The FCA braking control is auto-
matically canceled, when risk fac-
tors disappear.
OIK057060L
The driver should always use
extreme caution while operating
the vehicle, whether or not there
is a warning message or alarm
from the FCA system.
CAUTION
The FCA system logic operates
within certain parameters, such
as the distance from the vehi-
cle, pedestrian or cyclist 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
The FCA braking control cannot
completely stop the vehicle nor
avoid all collisions. The driver
should hold the responsibility
to safely drive and control the
vehicle.
WARNING
Never deliberately drive danger-
ously to activate the system.

•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

Also, in certain instances the
front radar sensor or camera
recognition system may not
detect the vehicle, pedestrian
or cyclist ahead. The FCA sys-
tem 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.
•Occupants may get injured, if
the vehicle abruptly stops by
the activated FCA system. Pay
extreme caution.
•The FCA system operates
only to detect vehicle, pedes-
trian or cyclist in front of the
vehicle.
•The FCA system may not
operate when the cyclist is
crossing the vehicle’s path.
•The FCA system does not
operate when the vehicle is in
reverse.
•The FCA system is not

LKA System Operation
To activate/deactivate the LKA sys-
tem:
With the Engine Start/Stop button in
the ON or START position, press the
LKA system switch located on the
instrument panel on the left hand side
of the steering wheel. The indicator
on the LKA switch will illuminate and
the indicator in the cluster display will
initially illuminate white. This indi-
cates the LKA system is in the
READY but NOT ENABLED state.
If you press the LKA button again,
the indicator on the switch and clus-
ter display will go off.
•Always have your hands on
the steering wheel while the
LKA system is activated. If
you continue to drive with
your hands off the steering
wheel after the "Keep hands
on steering wheel" warning
message appears, the system
will stop controlling the steer-
ing wheel. However, if the driv-
er has their hands on the
steering wheel again, the sys-
tem will start controlling the
steering wheel.
•The steering wheel is not con-
tinuously controlled so if the
vehicle speed is at a higher
speed when leaving a lane the
vehicle may not be able to be
controlled by the system. The
driver must always follow the
speed limit when using the
system.
•If you attach objects to the
steering wheel, the system
may not assist steering or the
hands off alarm may not work
properly. When you tow a trail-
er, make sure that you turn off
the LKA system.
•The system detects lane lines
and controls the steering
wheel by a camera, therefore,
if the lane lines are hard to
detect, the system may not
work properly.
Please refer to "Limitations of
the system".
•Do not remove or damage the
related parts of LKA system.
•You may not hear a warning
sound of LKA system
because of excessive audio
sound.
•Do not place objects on the
dashboard that reflects light
such as mirrors, white paper,
etc. The system may malfunc-
tion if the sunlight is reflected.
