Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
is to help reduce or to avoid accident
risk. It recognizes the distance from
the vehicle ahead through the sen-
sors (i.e. radar), and, if necessary,
warns the driver or applies emer-
gency braking.
❈Radar type FCA does not recog-
nize for pedestrians in front.System Setting and Activation
System setting
The driver can activate FCA by
placing the ignition switch to the
ON position and by selecting:
'User Settings →Driving Assist →
Forward Collision-avoidance Assist
(FCA)'

Take the following precautions
when using Forward Collision-
avoidance Assist :
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 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 is not
a collision avoidance system.
WARNING
Forward Collision-avoidance
Assist is a supplemental sys-
tem and is not a substitute for
safe driving practices.
It is the responsibility of the
driver to always check the
speed and distance to the vehi-
cle ahead to ensure it is safe to
use FCA.

FCA Sensor
In order for FCA to operate properly,
always make sure the sensor cover
or sensor is clean and free of dirt,
snow, and debris. Dirt, snow, or for-
eign substances on the sensor cover
or sensor may adversely affect the
sensing performance of the sensor. Do not apply a license plate
frame or foreign objects such as
a bumper sticker or a bumper
guard or number plate molding
near the radar sensor. Doing so
may adversely affect the sens-
ing performance of the radar.
Always keep the radar sensor
and cover clean and free of dirt
and debris.
Use only a soft cloth to wash the
vehicle. Do not spray pressur-
ized water directly on the sensor
or sensor cover.
Be careful not to apply unneces-
sary force on the radar sensor or
sensor cover. If the sensor is
forcibly moved out of proper
alignment, FCA may not operate
correctly. In this case, a warning
message may not be displayed.
Have the vehicle inspected by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
(Continued)
NOTICE
FCA logic operates within cer-
tain parameters, such as the
distance from the vehicle, the
speed of the vehicle ahead, and
the driver's vehicle speed.
Certain conditions such as
inclement weather and road
conditions may affect the oper-
ation of FCA.
WARNING
FCA braking control cannot
completely stop the vehicle nor
avoid all collisions. The driver is
responsible for driving safely
and controlling the vehicle.
WARNING
Never deliberately drive danger-
ously to activate the system.

(Continued)
If the front bumper becomes
damaged in the area around the
radar sensor, FCA may not oper-
ate properly. Have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Use only genuine HYUNDAI
parts to repair or replace a dam-
aged sensor or sensor cover. Do
not apply paint to the sensor
cover.
Playing the vehicle audio sys-
tem at high volume may make it
difficult to hear FCA warning
sounds.
Warning message and warning
light
Forward Collision Avoidance Assist
(FCA) disabled.
Radar blocked
When the sensor cover is blocked
with dirt, snow, or debris, FCA opera-
tion may stop temporarily. If this
occurs, a warning message will
appear on the LCD display. Remove
any dirt, snow, or debris and clean
the radar sensor cover before operat-
ing FCA. The system will operate nor-
mally when such foreign substance is
removed.
FCA may not properly operate in an
area (e.g. open terrain), where any
substances are not detected after
turning ON the engine.
System Malfunction
Check Forward Collision Avoidance
Assist
When FCA is not working properly,
FCA warning light ( ) will illumi-
nate 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.
FCA warning message may
appear along with the illumination
of ESC (Electronic Stability
Control) warning light.

FCA is only a supplemental
system for the driver’s con-
venience. The driver is
responsible for controlling the
vehicle operation. Do not
solely depend on FCA. Rather,
maintain a safe braking dis-
tance, and, if necessary,
depress the brake pedal to
reduce the driving speed.
In certain instances and
under certain driving condi-
tions, FCA may activate pre-
maturely. This initial warning
message appears on the LCD
display with a warning chime.
Also, in certain instances the
front radar sensor may not
detect the vehicle ahead. FCA
may not activate and the
warning message will not be
displayed.
(Continued)
WARNING (Continued)
If there is a malfunction with
FCA, the Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist is not
applied even though the brak-
ing system is operating nor-
mally.
If the vehicle in front stops
suddenly, you may have less
control of the brake system.
Therefore, always keep a safe
distance between your vehicle
and the vehicle in front of you.
FCA may activate during brak-
ing and the vehicle may stop
suddenly shifting loose
objects toward the passen-
gers. Always keep loose
objects secured.
FCA may not activate if the
driver applies the brake pedal
to avoid a collision.
The brake control may not
work, possibly causing a colli-
sion, if a vehicle in front
abruptly stops. Always pay
extreme caution.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Occupants may get injured, if
the vehicle abruptly stops by
the activated FCA. Pay
extreme caution.

Limitations of the System
FCA is designed to monitor the vehi-
cle ahead on the roadway through
radar signals to warn the driver that a
collision is imminent, and if neces-
sary, apply emergency braking.
In certain situations, the radar sen-
sor 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.
Detecting vehicles
The sensor may be limited when:
The radar sensor 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
There is interference by electro-
magnetic waves
There is severe irregular reflection
from the radar sensor
The radar sensor recognition is
limited
The vehicle in front is too small to
be detected (for example a motor-
cycle or a bicycle, etc.)
The vehicle in front is an oversize
vehicle or trailer that is too big to
be detected by the camera recog-
nition system (for example a tractor
trailer, etc.)
The vehicle is driven near areas
containing metal substances as a
construction zone, railroad, etc.
The vehicle in front is driving errat-
ically
FCA operates only to detect
vehicles in front of the vehi-
cle.
FCA does not operate when
the vehicle is in reverse.
FCA is not designed to detect
other objects on the road.
FCA does not detect vehicles
in 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 main-
tain a safe braking distance,
and if necessary, depress the
brake pedal to reduce the driv-
ing speed in order to maintain a
safe distance.

Driving your vehicle
Driving on a slope
The performance of Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist may be
decreased while driving upward or
downward on a slope. The front
radar sensor recognition system
may not detect the vehicle in front.
This may result in unnecessary
alarm and braking or no alarm and
braking when necessary. When the
system suddenly recognizes the
vehicle 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
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 necessary, depress the
brake pedal to reduce your driving
speed in order to maintain a safe
distance.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 main-
tain a safe braking distance, and if
necessary, depress the brake
pedal to reduce your driving speed
in order to maintain a safe dis-
tance.
