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.

• 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.
WARNING
Collision Warning (First warning)
• The warning message appears on
the cluster 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.
• If FCA detects a vehicle in front,
the system operates when your
vehicle speed is between 5 mph (8
km/h) and 112 mph (180 km/h).
Maximum vehicle speed may
decrease depending on the condi-
tion of the vehicle ahead and sur-
roundings.
• If FCA detects a pedestrian or
cyclist in front, the system operates
when your vehicle speed is
between 5 mph (8 km/h) and 56
mph (90 km/h). Maximum vehicle
speed may decrease depending
on the condition of the pedestrian
ahead and surroundings.
• If you select 'Warning only' for the
system setting, the FCA system
activates and produces only warn-
ing alarms in accordance with the
collision risk levels. You should
control the brake directly because
the FCA system will not control the
brake.
Emergency braking
(Second warning)
• The warning message appears on
the cluster LCD display with a
warning chime. Additionally, some
vehicle system intervention occurs
by the engine management system
to help decelerate the vehicle.
• The brake control is maximized
just before a collision, reducing
impact when it strikes a forward
vehicle.
• If FCA detects a vehicle in front, the
system operates when your vehicle
speed is above 5 mph (8 km/h) and
47 mph (75 km/h) or under.
Maximum vehicle speed may
decrease depending on the condi-
tion of the vehicle ahead and sur-
roundings.
• If FCA detects a pedestrian or
cyclist in front, the system operates
when your vehicle speed is 5 mph
(8 km/h) or above and under 40
mph (65 km/h). Maximum vehicle
speed may decrease depending
on the condition of the pedestrian
ahead and surroundings.

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.
