Limitations of the System
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
system is designed to help monitor
the vehicle ahead in the roadway
through camera recognition to warn
the driver that a collision is imminent,
and if necessary, apply emergency
braking.
In certain situations, the camera may
not be able to detect the vehicle
ahead. In these cases, FCA system
may not operate normally. The driver
must pay careful attention in the fol-
lowing situations where FCA opera-
tion may be limited.
Detecting vehicles
The sensor may be limited when:
The front view camera is blocked
with a foreign object or debris
The front view camera lens is con-
taminated due to tinted, filmed or
coated windshield, damaged
glass, or stuck of foreign matter
(sticker, bug, etc.) on the glass
Inclement weather such as heavy
rain or snow obscures the field of
view of the camera
The vehicle is on unpaved or
uneven rough surfaces, or road
with sudden gradient changes.
The camera sensor recognition is
limited
The vehicle in front is too small to
be detected (for example a motor-
cycle or a bicycle, etc.)
The front view camera does not
recognize the entire vehicle in
front.
The vehicle in front is an oversize
vehicle or trailer that is too big to
be detected by the camera recog-
nition system (for example a tractor
trailer, etc.)
5
FCA system does not operate
when the vehicle is in reverse.
FCA system is not designed
to detect other objects on the
road such as animals.
FCA system does not detect
vehicles in the opposite lane.
FCA system does not detect
cross traffic vehicles that are
approaching.
FCA system cannot detect the
driver approaching the side
view of a parked vehicle (for
example 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 driv-
ing speed in order to maintain a
safe distance.
WARNING

5-56
The camera's field of view is not
well illuminated (either too dark or
too much reflection or too much
backlight that obscures the field of
view)
The vehicle in front does not have
their rear lights properly turned ON
The outside brightness changes
suddenly, for example when enter-
ing or exiting a tunnel
Light coming from a street light or
an oncoming vehicle is reflected on
a wet road surface such as a pud-
dle in the road
The field of view in front is
obstructed by sun glare
The vehicle drives inside a build-
ing, such as a basement parking
lot
The adverse road conditions cause
excessive vehicle vibrations while
driving
The camera is damaged.
The brightness outside is too low
such as when the headlamps are
not on at night or the vehicle is
going through a tunnel. The shadow is on the road by a
median strip, trees, etc.
The vehicle drives through a toll-
gate.
The windshield glass is fogged up;
a clear view of the road is obstruct-
ed
The rear part of the vehicle in front
is not normally visible (for example,
the vehicle is spinning or the vehi-
cle is overturned)
The sensor recognition changes
suddenly when passing over a
speed bump
The vehicle in front is driving errat-
ically
The vehicle in front is moving verti-
cally to the driving direction
The vehicle in front is stopped ver-
tically
The vehicle in front is driving
towards your vehicle or reversing
You are on a roundabout and the
vehicle in front circlesDetecting pedestrians
The sensor may be limited when:
The pedestrian is not fully detected
by the camera recognition system,
for example, if the pedestrian is
leaning over or is not fully walking
upright.
The pedestrian is moving very
quickly or appears abruptly in the
camera detection area
The pedestrian is wearing clothing
that easily blends into the back-
ground, making it difficult to be
detected by the camera recogni-
tion system
The outside lighting is too bright
(e.g. when driving in bright sunlight
or in sun glare) or too dark (e.g.
when driving on a dark rural road
at night)

Driving your vehicle
It is difficult to detect and distin-
guish the pedestrian from other
objects in the surroundings, for
example, when there is a group of
pedestrians or a large crowd.
There is an item similar to a per-
son's body structure.
The pedestrian is small.
The pedestrian has impaired
mobility.
When the pedestrian suddenly
interrupts in front of the vehicle
Driving on a curve
The performance of Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist system
may be limited when driving on a
curved road.
The front camera recognition sys-
tem may not detect the vehicle
traveling in front on a curved road.
This may result in no alarm and
braking when necessary.
Always pay attention to road and
driving conditions, and if neces-
sary, depress the brake pedal to
reduce your driving speed in order
to maintain a safe distance.Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
system may recognize a vehicle in
the next lane or outside the lane
when driving on a curved road.
If this occurs, the system may unnec-
essarily alarm the driver and apply
the brake. Always pay attention to
road and driving conditions, while
driving.

Driving on a slope
The performance of Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist system
may be decreased while driving
upward or downward on a slope.
The front camera recognition may
not detect the vehicle in front. This
may result in unnecessary alarm
and braking or no alarm and brak-
ing when necessary.
When the system suddenly recog-
nizes the vehicle in front while
passing over a slope, you may
experience sharp deceleration.Always keep your eyes forward
while driving upward or downward
on a slope, and, if necessary,
depress the brake pedal to reduce
your driving speed in order to
maintain distance.
Changing lanes
When a vehicle changes lanes in
front of you, Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist system may not
immediately detect the vehicle,
especially if the vehicle changes
lanes abruptly. In this case, you
must maintain a safe braking dis-
tance, and if necessary, depress
the brake pedal to reduce your
driving speed in order to maintain a
safe distance.

Driving your vehicle
When driving in stop-and-go traffic,
and a vehicle in front of you merges
out of the lane, Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist system may not
immediately detect the new vehicle
that is now in front of you. In this case,
you must maintain a safe braking dis-
tance, and if necessary, depress the
brake pedal to reduce your driving
speed in order to maintain a safe dis-
tance. Detecting the vehicle in front of you
If the vehicle in front of you has
cargo that extends rearward from
the cab, or when the vehicle in
front of you has higher ground
clearance, additional special atten-
tion is required. Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist system may not
be able to detect the cargo extend-
ing from the vehicle. In these
instances, you must maintain a
safe braking distance from the
rearmost object, and if necessary,
depress the brake pedal to reduce
your driving speed in order to
maintain distance.

Do not use Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist system
when towing a vehicle.
Application of the FCA sys-
tem while towing may
adversely affect the safety of
your vehicle or the towing
vehicle.
Use extreme caution when the
vehicle in front of you has
cargo that extends rearward
from the cab, or when the
vehicle in front of you has
higher ground clearance.
FCA system is designed to
help detect and monitor the
vehicle ahead in the roadway
through camera recognition. It
is not designed to detect bicy-
cles, motorcycles, or smaller
wheeled objects such as lug-
gage bags, shopping carts, or
strollers.

Take the following precautions
when using Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist system:
This system is only a supple-
mental system and it is not
intended to, nor does it
replace the need for extreme
care and attention of the driv-
er. The sensing range and
objects detectable by the sen-
sors are limited. Pay attention
to the road conditions at all
times.
Drive at posted speed limits
and accordance to road con-
ditions.
Always drive cautiously to
prevent unexpected and sud-
den situations from occur-
ring. FCA system may not
always stop the vehicle com-
pletely and is only intended to
help mitigate a collision that
is imminent.
WARNING
OAEPH059649L

5-62
Driving your vehicle
- If you select 'Warning only', FCA
system activates and produces
only warning alarms in accor-
dance with the collision risk lev-
els. Braking assist will not be
applied in this setting.
- If you select 'Off', FCA system
deactivates,
The warning light illumi-
nates on the instrument
cluster, when you cancel
FCA system. The driver
can monitor the FCA ON/OFF status
on the LCD display. Also, the warning
light illuminates when the ESC
(Electronic Stability Control) is
turned off.
- If the warning light remains ON
when FCA is activated, we recom-
mend that you have the system
checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer. Selecting Warning Timing
The driver can select the initial
warning activation time from the
User Settings in the cluster LCD
display by selecting 'User settings
→Driver assistance →Warning
timing →Normal/Late'.
The options for the initial Forward
Collision Warning includes the fol-
lowing:
- Normal:
When this option is selected, the
initial Forward Collision Warning is
activated sensitively. If you feel the
warning activates too early, set the
Forward Collision Warning to
'Late'.Even though, 'Normal' is selected if
the front vehicle suddenly stops
the initial warning activation time
may not seem fast.
- Late:
When this option is selected, the
initial Forward Collision Warning is
activated later than normal. This
setting reduces the amount of dis-
tance between the vehicle, pedes-
trian or cyclist ahead before the ini-
tial warning occurs.
Select 'Late' when traffic is light
and when driving speed is slow.
When you accelerate suddenly to
the vehicle ahead, the warning
may seem to activate earlier even if
'Late' is selected.
Information
If you change the warning timing, the
warning timing of other systems may
change. Always be aware before
changing the warning timing.

Prerequisite for activation
FCA gets ready to be activated,
when 'Active Assist' or 'Warning
Only' under Forward Safety is select-
ed in the cluster LCD display, and
when the following prerequisites are
satisfied.
- ESC (Electronic Stability Control)
is on.
- Vehicle speed is over 5 mph (8
km/h). (FCA is only activated with-
in a certain speed range.)
- The system detects a pedestrian,
cyclist (if equipped) 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,
the direction of pedestrian or
cyclist (if equipped) and speed.
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 (if
equipped) is imminent.To avoid driver distractions,
do not attempt to set or can-
cel FCA while driving the vehi-
cle. Always completely stop
the vehicle at a safe place
before setting or canceling
the system.
FCA automatically activates
upon placing the Engine
start/stop button to the ON
position. The driver can deacti-
vate FCA by canceling the sys-
tem setting on the cluster LCD
display.
FCA automatically deactivates
upon canceling the ESC
(Electronic Stability Control).
When the ESC is canceled,
FCA cannot be activated on
the LCD display. In this situa-
tion, the FCA warning light will
illuminate which is normal.
WARNING

5-64
Driving your vehicle
Collision Warning
(First warning)
This warning message appears on
the LCD display with a warning
chime. Additionally, some vehicle
system intervention occurs to help
decelerate the vehicle. If FCA detects a vehicle in front,
the system operates when your
vehicle speed is between 5 mph (8
km/h) and 110 mph (180 km/h).
Maximum vehicle speed may
decrease depending on the condi-
tion of the engine ahead and sur-
roundings.
If FCA detects a pedestrian or
cyclist in front, the system operates
when your vehicle speed is
between 5 mph (8 km/h) and 45
mph (70 km/h). 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 acti-
vates and produces only warning
alarms in accordance with the col-
lision risk levels. You should control
the brake directly because FCA
system will not control the brake.
Emergency braking
(Second warning)
This warning message appears on
the LCD display with a warning
chime. Additionally, some vehicle
system intervention occurs to help
decelerate the engine.
