such as abrupt stopping of the vehi-
cle in front, insufficient braking dis-
tance detection. Also, it controls the
brakes in accordance with the colli-
sion risk levels.
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
• Completely stop the vehicle
on a safe location before
operating the switch on the
steering wheel to activate/
deactivate FCA.
• FCA automatically activates upon placing the Engine
Start/Stop button to the ON
position. The driver can deac-
tivate FCA by canceling the
system setting on the LCD

is greater than 5 mph (8 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 pedestrians, the vehicle
speed is greater than or equal to 5

pedal, or when the driver abruptly
operates the steering wheel.
• The braking control is automatical- ly canceled, when risk factors dis-
appear.

✽NOTICE
• FCA is only a supplemental sys-tem for the driver’s convenience.
The driver has the ultimate
responsibility to control and oper-
ate the vehicle safely. Do not solely
depend on FCA. Rather, maintain
a safe braking distance, and, if
necessary, depress the brake pedal
to lower the driving speed.
• In certain instances and under certain driving conditions, FCA
may activate unintentionally. This
initial warning message appears
on the LCD display with a warn-
ing chime.
Also, in certain instances the front
view camera may not detect the
vehicle or pedestrian ahead. FCA
may not activate and the warning
message will not be displayed.
• FCA may unnecessarily produce 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.
(Continued)(Continued)
• When there is a malfunction with
FCA, the braking control does not
operate upon detecting a collision
risk even with other braking sys-
tems normally operating.
• FCA operates only for the vehi- cle/pedestrian in front, while driv-
ing forward. It does not operate
for any animals or vehicles in the
opposite direction.
• FCA does not recognize the vehi- cle, which transversally drives
across the crossroad, or the vehi-
cle, which is parked in the trans-
versal direction.
• If the vehicle in front stops sud- denly, you may have less control of
the brake system. Therefore,
always keep safe distance between
your vehicle and the vehicle in
front of you.

- Driving on a curve
The performance of Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist system
may be limited when driving on a
curved road.The front camera recognition system
may not detect the vehicle or pedes-
trian 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
system may recognize a vehicle or
pedestrian in the next lane or outside
the lane when driving on a curved
road.

If this occurs, the system may unnec-
essarily alarm the driver and apply the
brake.
Always pay attention to road and driv-
ing conditions, while driving.- Driving on a slope
The performance of Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist system
may be decreased while driving
upward or downward on a slope. The
front camera recognition may not
detect the vehicle or pedestrian in
front.This may result in unnecessary alarm
and braking or no alarm and braking
when necessary.
When the system 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.
