selected on the LCD display, and
when the following prerequisites are
satisfied:
The ESC (Electronic Stability
Control) is activated.
When FCA recognizes a vehicle or the pedestrian in front.
FCA warning message and
function 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
when the function detects that a col-
lision with a pedestrian is imminent.
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.
WARNING
FCA may not recognize every
obstacle or provide warnings
and braking in every situation,
so do not rely on FCA to stop
the vehicle in instances where
the driver sees an obstacle and
has the ability to apply the
brakes
FCA automatically activatesupon placing the ignition
switch or ENGINE
START/STOP button to the ON
position. The driver can deac-
tivate FCA by canceling the
function setting on the LCD
display.
FCA automatically deacti- vates upon canceling the
ESC. When the ESC is can-
celed, FCA cannot be activat-
ed on the LCD display. FCA
warning light will illuminate.

Collision Warning
Additionally, some vehicle function
intervention occurs by the engine
management function to help decel-
erate the vehicle.
The vehicle may slow down slightly.
It will operate if the vehicle speed isgreater than 3 mph (5 km/h) and
less than or equal to 110 mph (180
km/h) on a forward vehicle.
(Depending on the condition of the
vehicle ahead and the environment
surrounding it, the possible maxi-
mum operating speed may be
reduced.) For the pedestrian, the vehicle
speed is greater than or equal to 3
mph (5 km/h) and less than 50
mph (80 km/h). (Depending on the
condition of pedestrian and the
surrounding environment the pos-
sible maximum operating speed
may be reduced.)
- If you select "Warning Only", FCAactivates and produces only
warning alarms in accordance
with the collision risk levels. You
should control the brake directly
because FCA do not control the
brake.
Emergency Braking

Driving your vehicle
✽ ✽NOTICE
FCA assesses the risk of a collision
by monitoring several variables
such as the distance to the
vehicle/pedestrian ahead, the speed
of the vehicle/pedestrian ahead, and
the driver's operation of the vehicle.
Certain conditions such as
inclement weather and road condi-
tions may affect the operation of
FCA. For the function operation, do
not attempt risky driving.
✽ ✽NOTICE
• Use only soft clothes to wash the
vehicle. Do not spray pressurized
water directly on the sensor or
sensor cover.
• Use only genuine parts to repair or replace a damaged sensor or sen-
sor cover. Do not apply paint to
the sensor cover.
• Do not tint the window or install stickers or accessories around the
inside mirror where the camera is
installed.
• Make sure the front view camera installation point does not get wet.
• Do not impact or remove any front view camera components.
• Do not place reflective objects (white paper or mirror etc.) on the
dashboard. The function may acti-
vate unnecessarily due to reflec-
tion of the sunlight.
Warning message and warning
light
In this case, a warning message will
appear to notify the driver. Remove
the foreign substances to allow FCA
to function normally.
FCA may not properly operate in an
area (e.g. open terrain), where any
vehicles or objects are not detected
after turning ON the vehicle.
WARNING
Never deliberately drive danger-
ously to activate the function as
such conduct increases the risk
of an accident.

WARNING
FCA is only a supplemental
function for the driver's safety.
It is the driver's responsibility to
control the vehicle operation.
Do not solely depend on FCA.
Rather, maintain a safe braking
distance, and, if necessary,
depress the brake pedal to
reduce the driving speed or
stop the vehicle.
In certain instances andunder certain driving condi-
tions, FCA may activate unin-
tentionally. This initial warning
message appears on the LCD
display with a warning chime.
Also, due to sensing limita-
tions, in certain situations, the
front view camera recognition
function may not detect the
vehicle or pedestrian ahead.
FCA may not activate and the
warning message will not be
displayed.

The sensor may be limited when:
The function may not operate for
15 seconds after the vehicle is
started or the camera is initialized.
Front view camera contaminated or blocked.
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 camera.
There is interference by electro- magnetic waves.
The camera sensor recognition is limited
The vehicle in front is too small to be detected. (for example a motor-
cycle etc.)
The vehicle in front is an oversize vehicle or trailer that is too big to
be detected by the camera recog-
nition function. (for example a trac-
tor 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.

[A]: Your vehicle, [B]: Lane changing
vehicle, [C]: Same lane vehicle
When driving in stop-and-go traffic,
and a stopped vehicle in front of you
merges out of the lane, FCA may not
immediately detect the new vehicle
that is now in front of you. In this
case, you must maintain a safe brak-
ing distance, and if necessary,
depress the brake pedal to reduce
your driving speed in order to main-
tain a safe distance.
Recognizing the vehicle
When the vehicle in front has heavy
loading extended rearward, or when
the vehicle in front has higher ground
clearance, it may induce a haz-
ardous situation. Always pay atten-
tion to road and driving conditions,
while driving and, if necessary,
depress the brake pedal to reduce
your driving speed in order to main-
tain distance.
Situation in which the function
may not detect pedestrian
properly.
The sensor may be limited when:
The pedestrian is not fully detected
by the camera recognition function,
for example, if the pedestrian is
leaning over or is not fully walking
upright.
The pedestrian is moving very quickly or appears abruptly in the
camera detection area.
The pedestrian is wearing clothing that easily blends into the back-
ground, making it difficult to be
detected by the camera recogni-
tion function.
The outside lighting is too bright (e.g. when driving in bright sun-
light or in sun glare) or too dark.
(e.g. when driving on a dark rural
road at night)
It is difficult to detect and distin- guish the pedestrian from other
objects in the surroundings, for
example, when there is a group of
pedestrians, or a large crowd.
