Information
• Do not drive in water if the level is
higher than the bottom of the vehi-
cle.
• Check your brake condition once
you are out of mud or water.
Depress the brake pedal several
times as you move slowly until you
feel normal braking return.
• Shorten your scheduled mainte-
nance interval if you drive in off-
road conditions such as sand, mud
or water (see "Maintenance Under
Severe Usage Conditions" in chap-
ter 7).
• Make sure that an AWD vehicle is
towed by flatbed tow truck.
For safe AWD operation
Before driving
• Make sure all passengers are
wearing seat belts.
• Sit upright and adjust the steering
wheel to a position comfortable for
you to drive.
Driving on snow-covered or icy
roads
• Start off slowly by applying the
accelerator pedal gently.
• Use of snow tires is recommended.
For more information on Snow
Tires refer to "Winter Driving" in
this chapter.
• Keep sufficient distance between
your vehicle and the vehicle in front
of you.
• When approaching a stop sign or
stop light, release the accelerator
pedal to provide engine braking
during deceleration.
• Avoid speeding, rapid acceleration,
sudden brake applications, and
sharp turns to prevent skids.

The Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist system is designed to help
detect and monitor the vehicle ahead
or help detect a pedestrian or cyclist
in the roadway through radar signals
and camera recognition to warn the
driver that a collision is imminent,
and if necessary, apply emergency
braking.System Setting and Operation
System setting
• Setting Forward Safety function
The Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist can be activated from the
Settings menu in the AVN system
screen by following the procedure
below.
1. Set the Engine Start/Stop button
to the ON or START position.
2. Select 'Setup →Vehicle Settings
→Driver Assistance →Forward
Safety →Active Assist / Warning
Only / Off' in the AVN system
screen.For detailed informa-
tion, scan the QR code in a
separately supplied simple
manual.
- If you select 'Active Assist', the
FCA system activates. The FCA
produces warning messages
and warning alarms in accor-
dance with the collision risk lev-
els. Braking assist will be
applied in accordance with the
collision risk.
- If you select 'Warning Only', the
FCA system activates and pro-
duces only warning alarms in
accordance with the collision
risk levels. Braking assist will
not be applied in this setting.
- If you select 'Off', the FCA sys-
tem deactivates. The FCA
warning light ( ) illuminates
on the cluster.

Take the following precautions
when using the Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist
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 driv-
er. The sensing range and
objects detectable by the sen-
sors are limited. Pay attention
to the road conditions at all
times.
• Drive at posted speed limits
and accordance to road con-
ditions.
• 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.
WARNING
Prerequisite for activation
The FCA system will activate when
'Active Assist' or 'Warning Only' under
Forward Safety is selected in the AVN
system screen, and when the follow-
ing prerequisites are satisfied.
• ESC (Electronic Stability Control)
is on.
• Vehicle speed is over 5 mph (8
km/h). (The 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 activat-
ed or may only sound a warning
alarm depending on the driving or
vehicle conditions.
FCA may not operate properly
according to the frontal situation or
the direction of a pedestrian or
cyclist.
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 immi-
nent.
5-53

• To avoid driver distractions,
do not attempt to set or can-
cel the FCA while driving the
vehicle. Always completely
stop the vehicle at a safe
place before setting or cancel-
ing the system.
• FCA automatically activates
upon placing the Engine
Start/Stop button to the ON or
START position. The driver
can deactivate FCA by cancel-
ing the system setting in the
AVN system screen.
• FCA automatically deacti-
vates upon canceling ESC.
When ESC is canceled, FCA
cannot be activated in the
AVN system screen. In this sit-
uation, the FCA warning light
will illuminate which is nor-
mal.

Limitations of the System
The Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist system is designed to monitor
the vehicle ahead or a pedestrian or
cyclist in 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, pedestrian or
cyclist ahead. In these cases, the
FCA system may not operate nor-
mally. 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 system may not operate for 15
seconds after the engine is started
or the camera is initialized
• The radar sensor or camera is cov-
ered with a foreign object or debris
• The camera lens is contaminated
due to tinted, filmed or coated
windshield, damaged glass, or
stuck of foreign matter (sticker,
bug, etc.) on the glass
• Inclement weather such as heavy
rain or snow obscures the field of
view of the radar sensor or camera
• There is interference by electro-
magnetic waves
• There is severe irregular reflection
from the radar sensor
• The radar/camera sensor recogni-
tion is limited
• The vehicle in front is too small to
be detected (for example a motor-
cycle or a bicycle, etc.) • 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 vehicles in the oppo-
site lane.
• The FCA system does not
detect cross traffic vehicles
that are approaching.
• The FCA system cannot
detect cross traffic cyclists
that are approaching.
• The FCA system cannot
detect vehicles that are
stopped vertically to your
vehicle at a intersection or
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 or to stop the
vehicle.
WARNING
• 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 when the system detect
vehicles, pedestrian or cyclist
in front of the vehicle.

message "Emergency Steering"
appears on the LCD display with
an audible warning when:
- The vehicle speed is over 40 mph
(64 km/h) and the vehicle crosses
the centreline when an oncoming
vehicle is approaching.
• Additionally, the system provides
steering assistance to return the
vehicle back into the lane.

the need for extreme care and
attention of the driver. The
sensing range and objects
detectable by the sensors are
