Forward Safety
The driver can activate FCA by plac-
ing the ignition switch or ENGINE
START/STOP button to the ON posi-
tion and by selecting on 'User
Settings →Driver Assistance →
Forward Safety'.
If you select "Active Assist", FCA activates. FCA produces warning
messages and warning alarms in
accordance with the collision risk
levels. Also, it controls the brakes
in accordance with the collision
risk levels. If you select "Warning Only", FCA
activates and produces only warn-
ing alarms in accordance with the
collision risk levels. You should
control the brake directly because
FCA do not control the brake.
If you select "Off", FCA deacti- vates.
WARNING
Take the following precautions
when using Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist :
This function is only a supple-mental function and it is not
intended to, or 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. FCA does not stop the
vehicle completely and does
not avoid all collisions due to
function limitations.

Prerequisite for activation
FCA will activate when FCA is
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
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 is greater than 3 mph (5 km/h) and
less than or equal to 37 mph (60
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.Brake operation
In an urgent situation, the braking
system enters into the ready status
for prompt reaction to assist the driv-
er in depressing the brake pedal.
FCA provides additional braking power for optimum braking per-
formance when the driver depress-
es the brake pedal during warning.
The braking control is automatical- ly deactivated when the driver
sharply depresses the accelerator
pedal, or when the driver abruptly
operates the steering wheel.
The braking control is automatical- ly canceled when risk factors dis-
appear.
The driver should always exercise
caution when operating the vehicle,
even though there is no warning
message or warning alarm.WARNING
FCA cannot avoid all collisions
nor completely stop the vehicle
before collision. The driver has
the responsibility to drive safely
and control the vehicle.
WARNING
FCA is a supplemental function
and cannot completely stop the
vehicle in all situations or avoid
all collisions. It is the responsi-
bility of the driver to safely drive
and control the vehicle.

Limitations of FCA
FCA is designed to monitor the vehi-
cle ahead in the roadway through
front view camera recognition to
warn the driver that a collision is
imminent, and if necessary, apply
emergency braking.
In certain situations, the front view
camera may not be able to detect the
vehicle ahead. In these cases, FCA
may not operate normally. The driver
must pay careful attention in the fol-
lowing situations where FCA opera-
tion may be limited.(Continued)
FCA may unnecessarily pro-duce the warning message
and the warning alarms. Also,
due to the sensing limitation,
FCA may not produce the
warning message and the
warning alarm at all.
When there is a malfunction with FCA, the autonomous
emergency braking does not
operate upon detecting a col-
lision risk even with other
braking systems normally
operating.
FCA may not activate if the driver applies the brake pedal
before warning to avoid risk of
collision.
FCA does not operate when the vehicle is in reverse.
FCA is not designed to detect other objects on the road
such as animals.
(Continued)(Continued)
FCA does not detect vehiclesin the opposite lane.
FCA does not detect cross traffic vehicles that are
approaching.
FCA cannot detect the driver approaching the side view of
a parked vehicle (for example
on a dead end street). In these
cases, you must maintain a
safe braking distance, and if
necessary, depress the brake
pedal to reduce the driving
speed in order to maintain a
safe distance.
FCA may not activate depend- ing on road or driving condi-
tions.
FCA may not activate to all types of vehicles.

The front view camera recognition
function may not detect the vehicle
or pedestrian traveling in front on a
curved road This may result in no
alarm and braking when necessary.
Always pay attention to road and
driving conditions, and if necessary,
depress the brake pedal to reduce
your driving speed in order to main-
tain a safe distance.
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
may recognize a vehicle or pedestri-
an in the next lane or outside the
lane when driving on a curved road.
If this occurs, the function may
unnecessarily alarm the driver and
apply the brake.Always pay attention to road and
driving conditions, while driving.

Driving on a slope
The performance of Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist may be
decreased while driving upward or
downward on a slope.The front view camera recognition
may not detect the vehicle or pedes-
trian in front.
This may result in unnecessary
alarm and braking or no alarm and
braking when necessary.
When the function suddenly recog-
nizes the vehicle or pedestrian in
front while passing over a slope, you
may experience sharp deceleration.
Always keep your eyes forward while
driving upward or downward on a
slope, and, if necessary, depress the
brake pedal to reduce your driving
speed in order to maintain distance.
Changing lanes
[A]: Your vehicle, [B]: Lane changing
vehicle
When a vehicle changes lanes in
front of you, FCA may not immedi-
ately detect the vehicle, especially if
the vehicle changes lanes abruptly.
In this case, you must maintain a
safe braking distance, and if neces-
sary, depress the brake pedal to
reduce your driving speed in order to
maintain a safe distance.
