Prerequisite for activation
FCA system is on and ready if you select
“Active assist” or “Warning only” on
the infotainment system and when the
following prerequisites are satisfied:
- The system detects a oncoming vehicle in front, which may collide
with your vehicle. It may be activated
when the system recognise the
collision risk at a junction in each
situation.
- The ESC (Electronic Stability Control) is on.
- The vehicle speed moving toward your vehicle exceeds approximately
30 km/h (19 mph) or decreases under
70 km/h (44 mph).
- Driving speed exceeds approximately 10 km/h (6 mph) or decreases under
30 km/h (19 mph)
- Direction signals turn on.
CAUTION
• FCA system may not work or only
some part of the warning system may
perform according to the condition,
driving direction or speed of the
vehicle moving toward your vehicle.
• If you select “Warning only”, FCA
system activates and produces only
warning alarms.
WARNING
• FCA system may not produce the
warning alarm or be activated too
late due to the unexpected driving
caused by the approaching vehicles.
• While turning left, only when the turn signal is on along with the driving
direction, FCA system is activated
toward the approaching vehicles.
FCA warning message and function
control
FCA produces warning messages and
warning alarms as well as vibrates the
steering wheel in accordance with the
collision risk levels whilst the vehicle
turns left at the crossroads. In addition,
the system controls the brakes according
to the collision risk levels.

While Driving
6-68
WARNING
FCA-Junction Turning function
only activates for vehicles except
pedestrians, two wheel vehicles,
animals or obstacles.
WARNING
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-Junction Turning function operates
in accordance with the collision risk
levels based on certain parameters
such as the condition, driving direction
and speed of the approaching vehicle.
Never deliberately drive dangerously to
activate the system. Limitations of the system
FCA-Junction Turning function is only a
supplemental system for driver’s safety
whilst turning left on the crossroads. The
driver should hold the responsibility to
control the vehicle. The system monitors
the oncoming vehicle ahead the road
through the front view camera and
radar. In certain situations, the front view
camera and radar may not be able to
detect the oncoming vehicles properly.
The driver must pay careful attention
in the following situations where the
system operation may be limited or it
may activate unintentionally.The sensor may be limited when:
•
The radar sensor or camera
recognizes the approaching vehicle
too late.
• The radar sensor or camera is blocked
with a foreign object or debris.
• The driving direction of the
approaching vehicle is irregular or
frontal.
• The approaching vehicle changes
lanes too late or decelerates suddenly.
• The angle of the approaching vehicle
is out of range.
• Whilst circling, the sensor (the front
view camera or front radar) does not
detect the approaching vehicle.
• The driving speed of the approaching
vehicle is too fast or slow.
• The head lamps of the approaching
vehicle are turned off or asymmetrical.

lane marker or the right lane marker
in the cluster LCD display will blink
depending on which direction the
vehicle is veering.
2. LKA system will help control the vehicle’s steering to prevent the
vehicle from crossing the lane maker
in below conditions.
- Vehicle speed is over 64 km/h (40 mph)
- The system detects both lane markers
- When driving, the vehicle is located between both lanes normally.
- The steering wheel is not turned suddenly.
When lanes are detected and all the
conditions to activate LKA system are
satisfied, LKA system indicator light (
) will change from white to green.
This indicates that LKA system is in the
ENABLED state and the steering wheel
will be controlled.
ODN8069068L
Keep hands on steering wheel
If the driver takes their hands off the
steering wheel for several seconds while
LKA system is activated, the system will
warn the driver.
Information
If the steering wheel is held very lightly
the message may still appear because LKA
system may not recognize that the driver
has their hands on the wheel.
WARNING
The warning message may appear
late according to road conditions.
Therefore, always have your hands on
the steering wheel while driving.

WARNING
• The warning light on the side view
mirror will illuminate whenever a
vehicle is detected at the rear side by
the system.
To help avoid accidents, do not focus
only on the warning light and neglect
to see the surrounding of the vehicle.
• Drive safely even though the
vehicle is equipped with Blind-Spot
Collision-Avoidance Assist system.
Do not solely rely on the system
but check your surrounding before changing lanes or backing the
vehicle up.
• The system may not alert the driver
in some conditions so always check
your surroundings while driving.
CAUTION
• The driver should always use
extreme caution while operating
the vehicle, whether or not the
warning light on the side view mirror
illuminates or there is a warning alarm.
• Playing the vehicle audio system at
high volume may offset the Blind-
Spot Collision Warning system
warning sounds.
• The warning of Blind-Spot Collision-
Avoidance Assist system may not
sound while other system’s warning sounds. Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance
Assist
Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist
system may apply braking power, when
an approaching vehicle is detected
within a certain distance next to or
behind your vehicle.
It gently applies braking power on the
wheel, which is located in the opposite
side of the possibly-colliding point. The
instrument cluster will inform the driver
of the system activation.
Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist
system is automatically deactivated when:
- The vehicle drives a certain distance away
- The vehicle direction is changed against the possible-colliding point
- The steering wheel is abruptly moved
- The brake pedal is depressed
- After a certain period of time
The driver should drive the vehicle in the
middle of the vehicle lanes to keep the
system in the ready status.
When the vehicle drives too close to one
side of the vehicle lanes, the system may
not properly operate.
In addition, the system may not properly
control your vehicle in accordance with
driving situations. Thus, always pay close
attention to road situations.

Hazardous Driving Conditions
When hazardous driving elements
are encountered such as water, snow,
ice, mud and sand, take the below
suggestions: • Drive cautiously and keep a longer
braking distance.
• Avoid abrupt braking or steering.
• When your vehicle is stuck in
snow, mud, or sand, use second
gear. Accelerate slowly to avoid unnecessary wheel spin.
• Put sand, rock salt or other non-slip
materials under the wheels to provide
additional traction while the vehicle
becomes stuck in ice, snow, or mud.
WARNING
Downshifting with an automatic
transmission while driving on slippery
surfaces can cause an accident. The
sudden change in tire speed could
cause the tires to skid. Be careful when
downshifting on slippery surfaces.
Rocking the Vehicle
If it is necessary to rock the vehicle to
free it from snow, sand, or mud, first turn
the steering wheel right and left to clear
the area around your front wheels. Then,
shift back and forth between R (Reverse)
and a forward gear.
Try to avoid spinning the wheels, and do
not race the engine.
To prevent transmission wear, wait until
the wheels stop spinning before shifting
gears. Release the accelerator pedal
while shifting, and press lightly on the
accelerator pedal while the transmission
is in gear. Slowly spinning the wheels in
forward and reverse directions causes a
rocking motion that may free the vehicle.
WARNING
If the vehicle is stuck and excessive
wheel spin occurs, the temperature
of the tires can increase very quickly.
If the tires become damaged, a tire
blow out or tire explosion can occur.
This condition is dangerous - you and
others may be injured. Do not attempt
this procedure if people or objects are
anywhere near the vehicle.
If you attempt to free the vehicle, the
vehicle can overheat quickly, possibly
causing an engine compartment fire
or other damage. Try to avoid spinning
the wheels as much as possible to
prevent overheating of either the tires
or the engine. DO NOT allow the vehicle
to spin the wheels above 56 km/h (35
mph).
Information
The ESC system must be turned OFF
before rocking the vehicle.
NOTICE
If you are still stuck after rocking the
vehicle a few times, have the vehicle
pulled out by a tow vehicle to avoid
engine overheating, possible damage to
the transmission, and tire damage. See
"Towing" in chapter 7.
