Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist disabled
OTM070093N
When the front windshield where the
front view camera is located, front radar
cover, bumper or sensor is covered with
foreign material, such as snow or rain, it
can reduce the detecting performance
and temporarily limit or disable Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist.
If this occurs the ‘Forward Safety system
disabled. Camera obscured’ warning message, and the
and warning
lights will illuminate on the cluster.
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist will
operate normally when snow, rain or
foreign material is removed.
If Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
does not operate normally after
obstruction (snow, rain, or foreign
material) is removed, we recommend
that the function be inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

warning
• Driving on a curve
OADAS003
OADAS002
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
may not detect other vehicles,
pedestrians in front of you on
curved roads adversely affecting the
performance of the sensors. This may
result in no warning, braking assist
or steering assist (if equipped) when
necessary.
When driving on a curve, you must
maintain a safe braking distance,
and if necessary, steer the vehicle
and depress the brake pedal to
reduce your driving speed in order to
maintain a safe distance.

07
7-11
OADAS006
OADAS005
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
may detect a vehicle, pedestrian
in the next lane or outside the lane
when driving on a curved road.
If this occurs, Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist may unnecessarily
warn the driver and control the brake
or steering wheel (if equipped).
Always check the traffic conditions
around the vehicle. •
Driving on a slope
OADAS009
OADAS007
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
may not detect other vehicles,
pedestrians in front of you while
driving uphill or downhill, adversely
affecting the performance of the
sensors.
This may result in unnecessary
warning, braking assist or steering
assist (if equipped) or no warning,
braking assist or steering assist (if
equipped) when necessary.
Also, vehicle speed may rapidly
decrease when a vehicle, pedestrian
ahead is suddenly detected.
Always have your eyes on the road
while driving uphill or downhill and
if necessary, steer your vehicle and
depress the brake pedal to reduce
your driving speed in order to
maintain a safe distance.

Changing lanes
OADAS032
[A] : Your vehicle, [B] : Lane changing vehicle
When a vehicle moves into your lane
from an adjacent lane, it cannot
be detected by the sensor until it
is in the sensor's detection range.
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
may not immediately detect the
vehicle when the vehicle changes
lanes abruptly. In this case, you must
maintain a safe braking distance,
and if necessary, steer your vehicle
and depress the brake pedal to
reduce your driving speed in order to
maintain a safe distance.
OADAS033
[A] : Your vehicle, [B] : Lane changing vehicle,
[C] : Same lane vehicle
When a vehicle in front of you
merges out of the lane, Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist may not
immediately detect the vehicle that
is now in front of you. In this case,
you must maintain a safe braking
distance, and if necessary, steer your
vehicle and depress the brake pedal
to reduce your driving speed in order
to maintain a safe distance.

Detecting vehicle
OOSEV050127L
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 attention is
required. Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist may not be able
to detect the cargo extending from
the vehicle. In these instances,
you must maintain a safe braking
distance from the rearmost object,
and if necessary, steer your vehicle
and depress the brake pedal to
reduce your driving speed in order to
maintain distance.
warning
• When you are towing a trailer or
another vehicle, we recommend that
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist is
turned off due to safety reasons.
• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
may operate if objects that are
similar in shape or characteristics to
vehicles, pedestrians are detected.
• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
does not operate on bicycles,
motorcycles, or smaller wheeled objects, such as luggage bags,
shopping carts, or strollers.
• Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist may not operate normally if
interfered by strong electromagnetic
waves.
• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
may not operate for 15 seconds after
the vehicle is started, or the front
view camera is initialized.

Forward Collision–avoidanCe assist (FCa)
(sensor Fusion) (iF equipped)
OJK070172
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist is
designed to help detect and monitor the
vehicle ahead or help detect a pedestrian
or cyclist in the roadway and warn the
driver that a collision is imminent with
a warning message and an audible
warning, apply emergency braking. Detecting sensor

CAUTION
Take the following precautions to
maintain optimal performance of the
detecting sensor: • Never disassemble the detecting
sensor or sensor assembly, or apply
any impact on it.
• If the detecting sensors have been
replaced or repaired, we recommend
that you have your vehicle inspected
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
• Never install any accessories or
stickers on the front windshield, or
tint the front windshield.
• Pay extreme caution to keep the
front view camera dry.
• Never place any reflective objects
(i.e. white paper, mirror) over the
dashboard.
• Do not apply license plate frame or
objects, such as a bumper sticker,
film or a bumper guard, near the
front radar cover.
• Always keep the front radar and
cover clean and free of dirt and debris.
Use only a soft cloth to wash the
vehicle. Do not spray pressurized
water directly on the sensor or
sensor cover.
• If unnecessary force has been
applied to the radar or around the
radar, Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist may not properly operate
even though a warning message
does not appear on the cluster. We
recommend that the vehicle be
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
• Use only genuine parts to repair or
replace a damaged front radar cover.
Do not apply paint to the front radar
cover.Forward Collision-Avoidance
