FCA Warning Message and
System Control

and warning alarms in accordance
with the collision risk levels, such
as abrupt stopping of the vehicle in
front, insufficient braking distance, or
pedestrian detection. Also, it controls the
brakes in accordance with the collision
risk levels.

This warning message appears on the
LCD display with a warning chime.
Additionally, some vehicle system
intervention occurs by the engine
management system to help decelerate
the vehicle.
- FCA system limitedly controls the
brakes to preemptively mitigate
impact in a collision. The brake control
is maximized just before a collision.
- If you select ‘Warning only’, FCA
system activates and produces only
warning alarms in accordance with

Brake operation
[ In an urgent situation, the braking
system enters into the ready status for
prompt reaction against the driver’s
depressing the brake pedal.
[ FCA provides additional braking
power for optimum braking
performance, when the driver
depresses the brake pedal.
[ The braking control is automatically
deactivated, when the driver sharply
depresses the accelerator pedal, or
when the driver abruptly operates the
steering wheel.
[ FCA braking control is automatically
canceled, when risk factors disappear.
CAUTION
The driver should always use extreme
caution while operating the vehicle,
whether or not there is a warning
message or alarm from FCA system.
[ After the brake control is activated,
the driver must immediately depress
the brake pedal and check the
surroundings. The brake activation
by the system lasts for about 2
seconds.
[ If any other warning sound such as
seat belt warning chime is already
generated, Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist (FCA) system
warning may not sound.
[ Playing the vehicle audio system at
high volume may prevent occupants
from hearing the system warning
sounds.
WARNING
The FCA braking control cannot
completely stop the vehicle nor avoid
all collisions. The driver should hold the
responsibility to safely drive and control
the vehicle.
WARNING
FCA system logic operates within
certain parameters, such as the
distance from the vehicle or pedestrian
ahead, the speed of the vehicle ahead,
and the driver's vehicle speed. Certain
conditions such as inclement weather
and road conditions may affect the
operation of FCA system.
WARNING
Never deliberately drive dangerously to
activate the system.
