Basic function
The basic feature of Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist is to help warn and
control the vehicle depending on
OTM070143N
Collision warning
To warn the driver of a collision, the
will appear on the cluster and an
audible warning will sound.
If a vehicle is detected in front,
the function will operate when
your vehicle speed is between
approximately 6~112 mph (10~180
km/h).
If a pedestrian is detected in front,
the function will operate when
your vehicle speed is between
approximately 6~37 mph (10~60
km/h).
may be assisted.
OTM070144N
Emergency braking
To warn the driver that emergency
braking will occur, the ‘Emergency
on the cluster and an audible warning
will sound.
If a vehicle is detected in front,
the function will operate when
your vehicle speed is between
approximately 6~37 mph (10~60
km/h).
If a pedestrian is detected in front,
the function will operate when
your vehicle speed is between
approximately 6~37 mph (10~60
km/h).
In emergency braking situation,
braking is assisted with strong braking
power by the function to help prevent
collision with the vehicle or pedestrian
ahead.

Stopping vehicle and ending brake control
When the vehicle is stopped due to
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
Take the following precautions when
using Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist:
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,
animal, 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 function’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 Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist will automatically
cancel when the driver excessively
depresses the accelerator pedal or
sharply steers the vehicle.
CAUTION
Depending on the condition of the
vehicle, pedestrian and cyclist in front
and the surroundings, the speed range
to operate Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist may reduce. Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist may only warn the
driver, or it may not operate.

OTM070093N
When the front windshield where the
front view camera is located or the
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 ‘Forward Safety system
message, and the and warning
lights will illuminate on the cluster.
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist will
operate normally when such 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, have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
WARNING
Even though the warning message or
warning light does not appear on the
cluster, Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist may not properly operate.
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
may not properly operate in an area
(e.g. open terrain), where any objects
are not detected after turning ON the
engine.
Limitations of Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist

WARNING
Driving on a curve
OADAS003OADAS002
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
may not detect other vehicles
or pedestrians in front of you on
curved roads adversely affecting the
performance of the sensors. This may
result in no warning or braking assist
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.

7-11
OADAS006OADAS005
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
may detect a vehicle or 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. Always check the traffic
conditions around the vehicle.
Driving on a slope
OADAS009
OADAS007
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
may not detect other vehicles or
pedestrians in front of you while
driving uphill or downhill adversely
affecting the performance of the
sensors.
This may result in unnecessary
warning or braking assist, or no
warning or braking assist when
necessary.
Also, vehicle speed may rapidly
decrease when a vehicle or
pedestrian ahead is suddenly
detected.
Always have your eyes on the road
while driving uphill or downhill and
if necessary, steer the vehicle and
depress the brake pedal to reduce
your driving speed in order to
maintain a safe distance.

Changing lanes
OADAS032
[A] : Your vehicle,
[B] : Lane changing vehicle
When a vehicle moves into your lane
from an adjacent lane, it cannot
be detected by the sensor until it
is in the sensor's detection range.
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
may not immediately detect the
vehicle when the vehicle changes
lanes abruptly. In this case, 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.
OADAS033
[A] : Your vehicle,
[B] : Lane changing vehicle,
[C] : Same lane vehicle
When a vehicle in front of you
merges out of the lane, Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist may not
immediately detect the vehicle that
is now in front of you.
In this case, 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.
