Prerequisite for activation
FCA gets ready to be activated, when
‘Active Assist’ or ‘Warning Only’ under
Forward Safety is selected in the cluster
LCD display, and when the following
prerequisites are satisfied.
- ESC (Electronic Stability Control) is on.
- Vehicle speed is over 10 km/h (6 mph).
(FCA is only activated within a certain
speed range.)
- The system detects a pedestrian, cyclist or a vehicle in front, which may
collide with your vehicle. However,
FCA may not be activated or may only
sound a warning alarm depending on
the driving or vehicle conditions.
FCA may not operate properly according
to the frontal situation, condition of the
vehicle, the direction of pedestrian or
cyclist or speed. If you select "Warning
Only", only warnings occur.
WARNING
To avoid driver distractions, do not
attempt to set or cancel FCA while
driving the vehicle. Always completely
stop the vehicle at a safe place before
setting or canceling the system.
FCA automatically activates upon
placing the ignition switch to the ON
position. The driver can deactivate FCA
by canceling the system setting on the
cluster LCD display or infotainment
system display (if equipped).
FCA automatically deactivates upon
canceling ESC (Electronic Stability
Control). When ESC is canceled, FCA
cannot be activated in the LCD display
or infotainment system display (if
equipped). In this situation, the FCA
warning light will illuminate which is normal.
FCA Warning Message and Brake
Control
FCA produces warning messages,
warning alarms, and emergency braking
based on the level of risk of a frontal
collision, such as when a vehicle ahead
suddenly brakes, or the system detects
that a collision with a pedestrian or
cyclist is imminent.
Collision warning (First warning)
ODN8H069201L
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.

•
Your vehicle speed may decelerate
moderately.
• If FCA detects a vehicle in front, the
system operates when your vehicle
speed is between 10 km/h (6 mph)
and 180 km/h (112 mph). Maximum
vehicle speed may decrease
depending on the condition of the
vehicle ahead and surroundings.
• If FCA detects a pedestrian or cyclist
in front, the system operates when
your vehicle speed is between 10
km/h (6 mph) and 85 km/h (53
mph). Maximum vehicle speed may
decrease depending on the condition
of the pedestrian or cyclist ahead and
surroundings.
• If you select ‘Warning Only’ for the
system setting, FCA system activates
and produces only warning alarms
in accordance with the collision risk
levels. You should control the brake
directly because FCA system will not
control the brake. Emergency braking (Second
warning)
ODN8H069202L
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 FCA detects a vehicle in front, the
system operates when your vehicle
speed is above 10 km/h (6 mph) and
75 km/h (47 mph) or under. Maximum
vehicle speed may decrease
depending on the condition of the
vehicle ahead and surroundings.
• If FCA detects a pedestrian or cyclist
in front, the system operates when
your vehicle speed is between 10
km/h (6 mph) or above and under 65
km/h (40 mph). Maximum vehicle
speed may decrease depending on
the condition of the pedestrian or
cyclist ahead or surroundings.
• If you select ‘Warning Only’ for the
system setting, FCA system activates
and produces only warning alarms
in accordance with the collision risk
levels. You should control the brake
directly because FCA system will not
control the brake.

FCA system may work when it
recognizes objects similar in shape or
property to a vehicle, pedestrian or
cyclist.
FCA system is designed to help detect
and monitor the vehicle ahead or detect
a pedestrian or cyclist in the roadway
through radar signals and camera
recognition. It is not designed to detect
bicycles, motorcycles, or smaller wheeled objects such as luggage bags,
shopping carts, or strollers.
Never try to test the operation of FCA
system. Doing so may cause severe
injury or death.
If the front bumper, front glass, radar or
camera have been replaced or repaired,
have the vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Information
In some instances, FCA system may be cancelled when subjected to
electromagnetic interference.
Information
This device complies with Industry Canada RSS-210 standard. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1. This device may not cause harmful
interference.
2. This device must accept any
interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist - Junction Turning (if equipped)
FCA-Junction Turning function is
designed to reduce the risk of collision
by detecting and monitoring the
oncoming vehicle ahead. When the
vehicle turns to the left at a junction, the
system recognises the oncoming vehicle
ahead in advance with the front view
camera and the front radar. It produces
warning messages or haptic warning
alarms in accordance with the collision
risk levels.
System setting
FCA-Junction Turning function can be
activated from the User Settings menu
by following the procedure below.
1. Set the Engine Start/Stop button to the
ON or START position.
2. Select ‘User settings →
Driver
assistance → Forward safety’.
For more details, refer to “Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA)” in this
chapter.
