Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist operation
Basic function
Warning and control
The basic function for Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist is to warn and control
the vehicle depending on the collision
level: ‘Collision Warning’, ‘Emergency
Braking’ and ‘Stopping vehicle and
ending brake control’.
OTM070143N
Collision Warning • To warn the driver of a collision, the
‘Collision Warning’ warning message
will appear on the cluster, an audible
warning will sound.
• If a vehicle is detected in front,
the function will operate when
your vehicle speed is between
approximately 10~180 km/h (6~112
mph).
• If a pedestrian is detected in front,
the function will operate when
your vehicle speed is between
approximately 10~60 km/h (6~37
mph).
• If ‘Active Assist’ is selected, braking may be assisted.
OTM070144N
emergency Braking • To warn the driver that emergency
braking will be assisted, the
‘Emergency Braking’ warning
message will appear on the cluster,
an audible warning will sound and the
steering wheel will vibrate.
• If a vehicle is detected in front,
the function will operate when
your vehicle speed is between
approximately 10~60 km/h (6~37
mph).
• If a pedestrian is detected in front,
the function will operate when
your vehicle speed is between
approximately 10~60 km/h (6~37
mph).
• In emergency braking situation,
braking is assisted with strong braking
power by the function to help prevent
collision with the vehicle, pedestrian ahead.

OOSEV071123N
Stopping vehicle and ending brake control • When the vehicle is stopped due
to emergency braking, the ‘Drive
carefully’ warning message will
appear on the cluster.
For your safety, the driver should
depress the brake pedal immediately
and check the surroundings.
• Brake control will end after the vehicle
is stopped by emergency braking for
approximately 2 seconds.
warning
• For your safety, change the Settings
after parking the vehicle at a safe
location.
• With ‘Active Assist’ or ‘Warning Only’
selected, when esC is turned off by
pressing and holding the esC oFF
button, Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist will turn off automatically.
In this case, Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist cannot be set
from the Settings menu and the

warning light will illuminate on the
cluster which is normal. if esC is
turned on by pressing the esC oFF
button, Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist will maintain the last setting.
• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
does not operate in all situations or
cannot avoid all collisions. •
The driver should hold the
responsibility to control the vehicle.
Do not solely depend on Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist. Rather,
maintain a safe braking distance, and
if necessary, depress the brake pedal
to reduce driving speed or to stop
the vehicle.
• Never deliberately operate Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist on people,
objects, etc. It may cause serious
injury or death.
• Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist may not operate if the driver
depresses the brake pedal to avoid
collision.
• Depending on the road and driving
conditions, Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist may warn the driver
late or may not warn the driver.
• During Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist operation, the vehicle may
stop suddenly injuring passengers
and shifting loose objects. Always
have the seat belt on and keep loose
objects secured.
• If any other system’s warning
message is displayed or audible
warning is generated, Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist warning
message may not be displayed
and audible warning may not be
generated.
• You may not hear the warning sound
of Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist if the surrounding is noisy.
• Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist may turn off or may not
operate properly or may operate
unnecessarily depending on the road
conditions and the surroundings.

warning
• even if there is a problem with
Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist, the vehicle’s basic braking
performance will operate normally.
• During emergency braking,
braking control by the function
will automatically cancel when the
driver excessively depresses the
accelerator pedal or sharply steers
the vehicle.
CAUTION
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
operating speed range may reduce
due to the conditions of the vehicle,
pedestrian or cyclist in front or
surroundings. Depending on the speed,
the function may only warn the driver,
or the function may not operate.
Information
• In a situation where collision is imminent, braking may be assisted by
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist when braking is insufficient by the
driver.
• Depending on the type and theme of the
Instrument cluster, images and colors
may differ.

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist disabled
OTM070093N
When the front windshield where the
front view camera is located, front radar
cover, bumper or sensor is covered with
foreign material, such as snow or rain, it
can reduce the detecting performance
and temporarily limit or disable Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist.
If this occurs the ‘Forward Safety system
disabled. Camera obscured’ warning message, and the
and warning
lights will illuminate on the cluster.
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist will
operate normally when snow, rain or
foreign material is removed.
If Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
does not operate normally after
obstruction (snow, rain, or foreign
material) is removed, we recommend
that the function be inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

warning light does not appear on the
cluster, Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist may not properly operate.

OADAS003
OADAS002
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
may not detect other vehicles,
pedestrians in front of you on
curved roads adversely affecting the
performance of the sensors. This may
result in no warning, braking assist
or steering assist (if equipped) when
necessary.
When driving on a curve, you must
maintain a safe braking distance,
and if necessary, steer the vehicle
and depress the brake pedal to
reduce your driving speed in order to
maintain a safe distance.

OADAS006
OADAS005
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
may detect a vehicle, pedestrian
in the next lane or outside the lane
when driving on a curved road.
If this occurs, Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist may unnecessarily
warn the driver and control the brake
or steering wheel (if equipped).
Always check the traffic conditions
around the vehicle. •
Driving on a slope
OADAS009
OADAS007
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
may not detect other vehicles,
pedestrians in front of you while
driving uphill or downhill, adversely
affecting the performance of the
sensors.
This may result in unnecessary
warning, braking assist or steering
assist (if equipped) or no warning,
braking assist or steering assist (if
equipped) when necessary.
Also, vehicle speed may rapidly
decrease when a vehicle, pedestrian
ahead is suddenly detected.
Always have your eyes on the road
while driving uphill or downhill and
if necessary, steer your vehicle and
depress the brake pedal to reduce
your driving speed in order to
maintain a safe distance.
