ing the ignition switch or ENGINE
START/STOP button to the ON posi-
tion and by selecting on 'User
Settings →Driver Assistance →
Forward Safety'. If you select "Active Assist",
Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist activates. Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist produces warn-
ing messages and warning alarms
in accordance with the collision
risk levels. Also, it controls the
brakes in accordance with the col-
lision risk levels.
If you select "Warning Only", Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist activates and produces only
warning alarms in accordance with
the collision risk levels. You should
control the brake directly because
Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist do not control the brake.
If you select "Off", Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist deacti-
vates.
WARNING
Take the following precautions
when using Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist :
This function is only a supple-mental function and it is not
intended to, or 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. Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist does not
stop the vehicle completely
and does not avoid all colli-
sions due to function limita-
tions.

Prerequisite for activation
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
will activate when Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist is selected on the
LCD display, and when the following
prerequisites are satisfied:
The ESC (Electronic Stability
Control) is activated.
When Forward Collision- Avoidance Assist recognizes a
vehicle or the pedestrian in front.
Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist warning message and
function control
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
produces warning messages, warn-
ing alarms, and emergency braking
based on the level of risk of a frontal
collision, such as when a vehicle
ahead suddenly brakes, or when the
function detects that a collision with
a pedestrian is imminent.
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 Normal or
Late initial warning time.
WARNING
Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist may not recognize every
obstacle or provide warnings
and braking in every situation, so
do not rely on Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist to stop the
vehicle in instances where the
driver sees an obstacle and has
the ability to apply the brakes.
Forward Collision-AvoidanceAssist automatically activates
upon placing the ignition
switch or ENGINE START/STOP
button to the ON position. The
driver can deactivate Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist by
canceling the function setting
on the LCD display.
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist automatically deacti-
vates upon canceling the ESC.
When the ESC is canceled,
Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist cannot be activated on
the LCD display. Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist
warning light will illuminate.

Collision Warning
Additionally, some vehicle function
intervention occurs by the engine
management function to help decel-
erate the vehicle.
The vehicle may slow down slightly.
It will operate if the vehicle speed isgreater than 3 mph (5 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 the pedestrian, the vehicle
speed is greater than or equal to 3
mph (5 km/h) and less than 50
mph (80 km/h). (Depending on the
condition of pedestrian and the
surrounding environment the pos-
sible maximum operating speed
may be reduced.)
- If you select "Warning Only",Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist activates and produces
only warning alarms in accor-
dance with the collision risk lev-
els. You should control the brake
directly because Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist do not
control the brake.
Emergency Braking
Additionally, some vehicle function
intervention occurs by the engine
management function to help decel-
erate the vehicle.
The vehicle may slow down slightly.
It will operate if the vehicle speed is greater than 3 mph (5 km/h) and
less than or equal to 37 mph (60
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 the pedestrian, the vehicle
speed is greater than or equal to 3
mph (5 km/h) and less than 37
mph (60 km/h). (Depending on the
condition of pedestrian and the
surrounding environment the pos-
sible maximum operating speed
may be reduced.)
- If you select "Warning Only",Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist activates and produces
only warning alarms in accor-
dance with the collision risk lev-
els. You should control the brake
directly because Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist do not
control the brake.Brake operation
In an urgent situation, the braking
system enters into the ready status
for prompt reaction to assist the driv-
er in depressing the brake pedal.
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist provides additional braking
power for optimum braking per-
formance when the driver depress-
es the brake pedal during warning.
The braking control is automatical- ly deactivated when the driver
sharply depresses the accelerator
pedal, or when the driver abruptly
operates the steering wheel.
The braking control is automatical- ly canceled when risk factors dis-
appear.
The driver should always exercise
caution when operating the vehicle,
even though there is no warning
message or warning alarm.WARNING
Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist cannot avoid all colli-
sions nor completely stop the
vehicle before collision. The
driver has the responsibility to
drive safely and control the
vehicle.
WARNING
Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist is a supplemental func-
tion and cannot completely
stop the vehicle in all situations
or avoid all collisions. It is the
responsibility of the driver to
safely drive and control the
vehicle.

(Continued)Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist may not activate and the
warning message will not be
displayed.
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist may unnecessarily pro-
duce the warning message
and the warning alarms. Also,
due to the sensing limitation,
Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist may not produce the
warning message and the
warning alarm at all.
When there is a malfunction with Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist, the
autonomous emergency brak-
ing does not operate upon
detecting a collision risk even
with other braking systems
normally operating.
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist may not activate if the
driver applies the brake pedal
before warning to avoid risk of
collision.

er approaching the side view
of a parked vehicle (for exam-
ple 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
driving speed in order to
maintain a safe distance.
