The system may not work prop-
erly when the bumper has been
damaged, or if the rear bumper
has been replaced or repaired.
The sensing range differs some-
what according to the width of
the road. When the road is nar-
row, the system may detect
other vehicles in the next lane
OR when the road is wide, the
system may not detect other
vehicles in the next lane.
The system may turn off due to
strong electromagnetic waves.
Detecting sensor
The sensors are located inside the
rear bumper.
Always keep the rear bumper clean
for proper operation of the system.

Brake operation
In an urgent situation, the braking
system enters into the ready sta-
tus, to react promptly to the driver
depressing the brake pedal.
The FCA provides additional brak-
ing power for optimum braking per-
formance, when the driver depress-
es the brake pedal.
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 FCA braking control is auto-
matically cancelled, when risk fac-
tors disappear.
FCA Sensor
In order for the FCA system to oper-
ate properly, always make sure the
sensor cover or sensor is clean and
free of dirt, snow, and debris. Dirt,
snow, or foreign substances on the
sensor cover or sensor may adverse-
ly affect the sensing performance of
the sensor. The driver should always use
extreme caution whilst operat-
ing the vehicle, whether or not
there is a warning message or
alarm from the FCA system.
CAUTION
The 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 the
FCA system.
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
Never deliberately drive danger-
ously to activate the system.

Do not apply licence plate
frames or foreign objects such
as a bumper sticker or a bumper
guard near the radar sensor.
Doing so may adversely affect
the sensing 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 pres-
surised 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, the FCA system may
not operate correctly. In this
case, a warning message may
not be displayed. We recom-
mend you have the vehicle
inspected by an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer.
(Continued)(Continued)
If the front bumper becomes
damaged in the area around the
radar sensor, the FCA system
may not operate properly. Have
the vehicle inspected by an
authorised 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. NEVER install any accessories
or stickers on the front wind-
screen, nor tint the front wind-
screen.
NEVER locate any reflective
objects (i.e. white paper, mirror)
over the instrument panel. Any
light reflection may cause a mal-
function of the system.
Pay extreme caution to keep the
camera out of water.
NEVER disassemble the camera
assembly, nor apply any impact
on the camera assembly.
Playing the vehicle audio sys-
tem at high volume may offset
the system warning sounds.
Information
We recommend you have the system
checked by an authorised HYUNDAI
dealer when:
• The windscreen glass is replaced.
• The camera or related parts are
repaired or removed.

Warning message and warning
light
FCA disabled (Forward Collision
Avoidance Assist). Radar blocked
When the sensor cover is blocked
with dirt, snow, or debris, the FCA
system operation may stop temporar-
ily. 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
operating the FCA system. The sys-
tem will operate normally when such
dirt, snow or debris is removed.
The 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 FCA (Forward Collision
Avoidance Asst.)
When the FCA is not working prop-
erly, the FCA warning light ( )
will illuminate and the warning
message will appear for a few sec-
onds. After the message disap-
pears, the master warning light
( ) will illuminate. In this case,
have the vehicle inspected by an
authorised HYUNDAI dealer.
The FCA warning message may
appear along with the illumination
of the ESC (Electronic Stability
Control) warning light.
The FCA is only a supplemen-
tal system for the driver’s con-
venience. The driver should
hold the responsibility to con-
trol the vehicle operation. Do
not solely depend on the FCA
system. Rather, maintain a
safe braking distance, and, if
necessary, depress the brake
pedal to reduce the driving
speed.
In certain instances and
under certain driving condi-
tions, the FCA system may
activate unintentionally. This
initial warning message
appears on the LCD display
with a warning chime.
Also, in certain instances the
front radar sensor or camera
recognition system may not
detect the vehicle or pedestri-
an ahead. The FCA system
may not activate and the
warning message will not be
displayed.

Limitations of the System
The Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist (FCA) system is designed to
monitor the vehicle ahead or a pedes-
trian on the roadway through radar
signals and camera recognition to
warn the driver that a collision is immi-
nent, and if necessary, apply emer-
gency braking.
In certain situations, the radar sen-
sor or the camera may not be able to
detect the vehicle or pedestrian
ahead. In these cases, the FCA sys-
tem may not operate normally. The
driver must pay careful attention in
the following situations where the
FCA operation may be limited.
