The Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist (FCA) system is designed to
help detect and monitor the vehicle
ahead or detect a pedestrian or
cyclist (if equipped) in the roadway
through radar signals and camera
recognition to warn the driver that a
collision is imminent, and if neces-
sary, apply emergency braking.
System Setting and Activation
System setting
• The driver can activate the FCA by
pressing Engine Start/Stop button to
the ON position and by selecting :
'User Settings →Driver Assistance
→Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist (FCA)'
The FCA deactivates, when the driv-
er deselects the system setting.
The warning light illumi-
nates on the cluster,
when you cancel the FCA
system. The driver can
monitor the FCA ON/OFF status on
the LCD display. Also, the warning
light illuminates when the ESC
(Electronic Stability Control) is
turned off.
If the warning light remains ON when
the FCA is activated, have the sys-
tem checked by an authorized retail-
er of Genesis Branded products.
• The driver can select the initial warn-
ing activation time on the LCD dis-
play.
FORWARD COLLISION-AVOIDANCE ASSIST (FCA) SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
Take the following precautions
when using the Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist (FCA) system:
•This system is only a supple-
mental system and it is not
intended to, nor does it replace
the need for extreme care and
attention of the driver. The
sensing range and objects
detectable by the sensors are
limited. Pay attention to the
road conditions at all times.
•NEVER drive too fast in accor-
dance with the road condi-
tions or while cornering.
•Always drive cautiously to
prevent unexpected and sud-
den situations from occur-
ring. The Forward Collision-
Avoidance system may not
always stop the vehicle com-
pletely and is only intended to
help mitigate a collision that
is imminent.

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.
