• Selecting Warning Timing
The driver can select the initial
warning activation time from the
User Settings in the LCD display
or infotainment system display (if
equipped) by selecting ‘User Settings
→ Driver Assistance → Warning Timing → Normal/Late’.
The options for the initial Forward
Collision Warning includes the following:
-Normal:
When this option is selected, the
initial Forward Collision Warning
is activated sensitively. If you feel
the warning activates too early, set
Forward Collision Warning to ‘Late’.
Even though, ‘Normal’ is selected if
the front vehicle suddenly stops the
initial warning activation time may not
seem fast.
-Late:
When this option is selected, the initial
Forward Collision Warning is activated
later than normal. This setting reduces
the amount of distance between
the vehicle, pedestrian or cyclist (if
equipped) ahead before the initial
warning occurs.
Select ‘Late’ when traffic is light and
when driving speed is slow.
When you accelerate suddenly to
the vehicle ahead, the warning may
seem to activate earlier even if ‘Late’
is selected.
Information
If you change the warning timing, the
warning timing of other systems may
change.

Prerequisite for activation
FCA gets ready to be activated, when
‘Active Assist’ or ‘Warning Only’ under
Forward Safety is selected in the cluster
LCD display, and when the following
prerequisites are satisfied.
-ESC (Electronic Stability Control) is on.
- Vehicle speed is over 6 mph (10 km/h ).
(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 activated or may only
sound a warning alarm depending on
the driving or vehicle conditions.
FCA may not operate properly according
to the frontal situation, condition of the
vehicle, the direction of pedestrian or
cyclist or speed. If you select "Warning
Only", only warnings occur.
WARNING
To avoid driver distractions, do not
attempt to set or cancel FCA while
driving the vehicle. Always completely
stop the vehicle at a safe place before
setting or canceling the system.
FCA automatically activates upon
placing the ignition switch to the ON
position. The driver can deactivate FCA
by canceling the system setting on the
cluster LCD display or infotainment
system display (if equipped).
FCA automatically deactivates upon
canceling ESC (Electronic Stability
Control). When ESC is canceled, FCA
cannot be activated in the LCD display
or infotainment system display (if
equipped). In this situation, the FCA
warning light will illuminate which is
normal.
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 imminent.

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.
The FCA warning message may appear
along with the illumination of the ESC
(Electronic Stability Control) warning
light. Both FCA warning light and
warning message will disappear once the
ESC warning light issue is resolved.
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 FCA system.
Rather, maintain a safe braking
distance, and, if necessary, depress
the brake pedal to reduce the driving
speed or to stop the vehicle.
• In certain instances and under
certain driving conditions, FCA
system may activate unintentionally.
This initial warning message appears
on the LCD display with a warning
chime.
Also due to sensing limitations, in
certain situations, the front radar
sensor or camera recognition
system may not detect the vehicle,
pedestrian or cyclist (if equipped)
ahead. FCA system may not activate
and the warning message may not be
displayed.
• Even if there is any problem with
the brake control function of FCA
system, the vehicle’s basic braking
performance will operate normally.
However, brake control function for
avoiding collision will not activate.

Limitations of the System
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, FCA system may
not operate normally. The driver must
pay careful attention in the following
situations where FCA operation may be
limited.
Detecting vehicle, pedestrian and
cyclist
The sensor may be limited when:
• The system may not operate for 15
seconds after the vehicle is started or
the camera is initialized
• The radar sensor or camera is covered
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
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
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.)
• The camera’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 or their rear lights
does not turned ON or their rear lights
are located unusually
• 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 or head light of oncoming
vehicle
• The windshield glass is fogged up; a
clear view of the road is obstructed
• The vehicle in front is driving
erratically
• The vehicle is on unpaved or uneven
rough surfaces, or road with sudden
gradient changes

While Driving

Detecting pedestrians or cyclists
The sensor may be limited when:
• The pedestrian or cyclist 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 or cyclist is moving
very quickly or appears abruptly in the
camera detection area
• The pedestrian or cyclist 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 or cyclist from other
objects in the surroundings, for
example, when there is a group of
pedestrians, cyclists or a large crowd
• There is an item similar to a person’s
body structure
• The pedestrian or cyclist 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
the radar sensor or camera
• When 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 adverse road conditions cause
excessive vehicle vibrations while
driving
• The sensor recognition changes
suddenly when passing over a speed
bump
• You are on a roundabout
• The pedestrian or cyclist suddenly
interrupts in front of the vehicle
• The cyclist in front is riding intersected
with the driving direction
• There is any other electromagnetic
interference
• The construction area, rail or other
metal object is near the cyclist
• The bicycle material is not reflected
well on the radar

Prerequisite for activation
FCA system is on and ready if you select
“Active Assist” or “Warning Only” on
the infotainment system and when the
following prerequisites are satisfied:
-The system detects a oncoming
vehicle in front, which may collide
with your vehicle. It may be activated
when the system recognise the
collision risk at a junction in each
situation.
-The ESC (Electronic Stability Control)
is on.
-The vehicle speed moving toward
your vehicle exceeds approximately 19
mph (30 km/h) or decreases under 44
mph (70 km/h).
-Driving speed exceeds approximately
6 mph (10 km/h) or decreases under
19 mph (30 km/h)
-Direction signals turn on.
CAUTION
• FCA system may not work or only
some part of the warning system may
perform according to the condition,
driving direction or speed of the
vehicle moving toward your vehicle.
• If you select “Warning only”, FCA
system activates and produces only
warning alarms.
WARNING
• FCA system may not produce the
warning alarm or be activated too
late due to the unexpected driving
caused by the approaching vehicles.
• While turning left, only when the turn
signal is on along with the driving
direction, FCA system is activated
toward the approaching vehicles.
FCA warning message and function
control
FCA produces warning messages and
warning alarms as well as vibrates the
steering wheel in accordance with the
collision risk levels whilst the vehicle
turns left at the crossroads. In addition,
the system controls the brakes according
to the collision risk levels.
ODN8H060227N
Collision warning (First warning)
-The warning message appears on the
LCD display with a warning chime and
the steering wheel vibrates.
-The vehicle may slow down slightly.
-The system works when the vehicle
speed is under 19 mph (30 km/h).
(The operable speed range might be
reduced according to the condition
and surroundings of the approaching
vehicles.)
-If you select “Warning Only” on the
LCD display or infotainment system,
the system does not control the
brake so you should control the brake
directly.

While Driving
6-58
• When you replace the windshield
glass, front view camera or related
parts of the steering wheel, have the
vehicle inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer and have the system
checked for calibration.
• The system detects lane markers
and controls the steering wheel
by a camera, therefore, if the lane
markers are hard to detect, the
system may not work properly.
Please refer to “Limitations of the
S y s t e m ”.
• Do not remove or damage the related
parts of LKA system.
• You may not hear a warning sound
of LKA system if the audio volume is
high.
• Do not place objects on the
dashboard that reflects light such as
mirrors, white paper, etc. This may
prevent LKA system from functioning
properly. •
Always have your hands on the
steering wheel while 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 steering wheel.
• The steering wheel is not
continuously controlled so if the
vehicle speed is at a higher rate
when leaving a lane the vehicle may
not 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.
