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, we
recommend that you have the vehi-
cle inspected by a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer.
• 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
produce a warning alarm and
control the brake system
unnecessarily. And, the FCA
system may not produce a
warning alarm and control the
brake system due to detecting
limitation of sensor.
Also, in certain instances the
front camera recognition sys-
tem may not detect the vehi-
cle ahead. The FCA system
may not activate and the
warning message will not be
displayed.
•Even if there is any problem
with the brake control function
of the FCA system, the vehi-
cle's basic braking perform-
ance will operate normally.
However, brake control func-
tion for avoiding collision will
not activate.
•If the vehicle in front stops
suddenly, you may have less
control of the brake system.
Therefore, always keep a safe
distance between your vehicle
and the vehicle in front of you.
•The FCA system may activate
during braking and the vehi-
cle may stop suddenly shift-
ing loose objects toward the
passengers. Always keep
loose objects secured.
•The FCA system may not acti-
vate if the driver applies the
brake pedal to avoid a colli-
sion.
•The brake control may be
insufficient, possibly causing
a collision, if a vehicle in front
abruptly stops. Always pay
extreme caution.

Limitations of the system
The Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist (FCA) system is designed to
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, 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.
Detecting vehicles
The sensor may be limited when:
• The camera is blocked with a for-
eign object or debris
• The camera lens is contaminated
due to tinted, filmed or coated
windscreen, 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 FCA system may not acti-
vate according to the road
conditions, inclement weath-
er, driving conditions or traffic
conditions.
•Occupants may get injured, if
the vehicle abruptly stops by
the activated FCA system. Pay
extreme caution.
•The FCA system operates
only to detect vehicles in front
of the vehicle.
•The FCA system does not
operate when the vehicle is in
reverse.
•The FCA system is not
designed to detect other
objects on the road such as
animals.
•The FCA system does not
detect pedestrians in front of
the vehicle.
•The FCA system does not
detect vehicles in the oppo-
site lane.
•The FCA system does not
detect cross traffic vehicles
that are approaching.
•The 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.

• The shadow is on the road by a
median strip, trees, etc.
• The vehicle drives through a toll-
gate.• The windscreen glass is fogged
up; a clear view of the road is
obstructed.
• The rear part of the vehicle in front
is not normally visible. (the vehicle
turns in other direction or the vehi-
cle is overturned.)
• The adverse road conditions cause
excessive vehicle vibrations whilst
driving
• The sensor recognition changes
suddenly when passing over a
speed bump
• The vehicle in front is moving verti-
cally to the driving direction

- Driving on a curve
The performance of the FCA system
may be limited when driving on a
curved road.
On curved roads, the other vehicle
on the same lane is not recognised
and the FCA system's performance
may be degraded. This may result in
unnecessary alarm or braking or no
alarm or braking when necessary.
Also, in certain instances the front
camera recognition system may not
detect the vehicle travelling on a
curved road.In these cases, the driver must main-
tain a safe braking distance, and if
necessary, depress the brake pedal
to reduce your driving speed in order
to maintain a safe distance.
The FCA system may recognise a
vehicle in the next lane when driving
on a curved road.
In this case, the system may unnec-
essarily alarm the driver and apply
the brake.
Always pay attention to road and
driving conditions, whilst driving. If
necessary, depress the brake pedal
to reduce your driving speed in order
to maintain a safe distance.
Also, when necessary depress the
accelerator pedal to prevent the sys-
tem from unnecessarily decelerating
your vehicle.
Check to be sure that the road con-
ditions permit safe operation of FCA.

Driving your vehicle
- Driving on a slope
The performance of the FCA decreas-
es whilst driving upward or downward
on a slope, not recognising the vehi-
cle in front in the same lane. It may
unnecessarily produce the warning
message and the warning alarm, or it
may not produce the warning mes-
sage and the warning alarm at all.
When the FCA suddenly recognises
the vehicle in front whilst passing
over a slope, you may experience
sharp deceleration.
Always keep your eyes forward whilst
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, the FCA system may not
immediately detect the vehicle, espe-
cially if the vehicle changes lanes
abruptly. In this case, you must main-
tain a safe braking distance, and if
necessary, depress the brake pedal
to reduce your driving speed in order
to maintain a safe distance.When driving in stop-and-go traffic,
and a stopped vehicle in front of you
merges out of the lane, the FCA sys-
tem may not immediately detect the
new vehicle that is now in front of
you. In this case, you must maintain
a safe braking distance, and if nec-
essary, depress the brake pedal to
reduce your driving speed in order to
maintain a safe distance.

- 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, addi-
tional special attention is required.
The FCA system 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 nec-
essary, depress the brake pedal to
reduce your driving speed in order to
maintain distance.Information
In some instances, the FCA system
may be cancelled when subjected to
electromagnetic interference.

•Never try to test the operation
of the FCA system. Doing so
may cause severe injury or
death.
•If the front glass or camera
have been replaced or
repaired, we recommend that
you have your vehicle
inspected by a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer.
•Do not use the Forward
Collision avoidance Assist
(FCA) system when towing a
vehicle. Application of the
FCA system whilst towing
may adversely affect the safe-
ty of your vehicle or the tow-
ing 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.
•The FCA system is designed
to detect and monitor the
vehicle ahead in the roadway
through camera recognition. It
is not designed to detect
pedestrians, bicycles, motor-
cycles, or smaller wheeled
objects such as luggage
bags, shopping carts, or
strollers.
WARNING

5-88
Driving your vehicle
The Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist (FCA) system is designed to
help detect and monitor the vehicle
ahead or detect a pedestrian or
cyclists (if equipped) in the roadway
through radar signals and camera
recognition to warn the driver that a
collision is imminent, and if neces-
sary, apply emergency braking.
System setting and activation
System setting
• The driver can activate the FCA by
placing the ignition switch to the
ON position and by selecting:
"User Settings →Driver assistance
→Forward safety"
- If you select "Active assist", the
FCA system activates. The FCA
produces warning messages and
warning alarms in accordance
with the collision risk levels. Also,
it controls the brakes in accor-
dance with the collision risk lev-
els.
- If you select "Warning only", the
FCA system activates and pro-
duces only warning alarms in
accordance with the collision risk
levels. You should control the
brake directly because the FCA
system do not control the brake.
- If you select "Off", the FCA sys-
tem deactivates,

- SENSOR FUSION TYPE (FRONT RADAR + FRONT CAMERA) (
IIF EQUIPPED)
Take the following precautions
when using the Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist
(FCA) 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.
•NEVER drive too fast in accor-
dance with the road condi-
tions or whilst cornering.
•Always drive cautiously to
prevent unexpected and sud-
den situations from occur-
ring. FCA does not stop the
vehicle completely and is not
a collision avoidance system.

The warning light illumi-
nates on the LCD display,
when you cancel the 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 the FCA is acti-
vated, we recommend that you have
the system checked by a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer.
• The driver can select the initial warn-
ing activation time on the LCD dis-
play.
Go to the "User Settings →Driver
assistance →Warning timing →
Normal/Later".The options for the initial Forward
Collision Warning includes the fol-
lowing:
- Normal:
When this condition is selected,
the initial Forward Collision
Warning is activated sensitively. If
you feel the warning activates too
early, set the Forward Collision
Warning to 'Later'.
Even though, 'Normal' is selected if
the front vehicle suddenly stops
the initial warning activation time
may not seem fast.
- Later:
When this condition 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 (if equipped) ahead
before the initial warning occurs.
Select 'Later' when traffic is light
and when driving speed is slow.
❈If you change the warning timing,
the warning timing of other sys-
tems may change.
Always be aware of warning tim-
ing before changing the warning
timing.Prerequisite for activation
The FCA gets ready to be activated,
when the FCA is selected on the
LCD display, and when the following
prerequisites are satisfied.
- The ESC (Electronic Stability
Control) is on.
- Vehicle speed is over 5 mph (8
km/h) (The FCA is only activated
within a certain speed range.).
- The system detects a pedestrian,
cyclist (if equipped) or a vehicle in
front, which may collide with your
vehicle (The FCA may not be acti-
vated or may sound a warning
alarm in accordance with the driv-
ing situation or vehicle condition. If
you select "Warning only", the FCA
system activates and produces
only warning alarms in accordance
with the collision risk levels.).
❈The FCA may not operate proper-
ly according to the frontal situa-
tion, the direction of pedestrian or
cyclist (if equipped) and speed.

FCA warning message and
system control
The FCA produces warning mes-
sages and warning alarms in accor-
dance with the collision risk levels,
such as abrupt stopping of the vehi-
cle in front, insufficient braking dis-
tance, pedestrian or cyclist (if
equipped) detection. Also, it controls
the brakes in accordance with the
collision risk levels.
The driver can select the initial warn-
ing activation time in the User
Settings in the LCD display. The
options for the initial Forward
Collision Warning include Normal or
Late initial warning time.
If you select "Warning only", the FCA
system activates and produces only
warning alarms in accordance with
the collision risk levels. You should
control the brake directly because
the FCA system do not control the
brake.
Collision Warning
(First warning)
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.
- The FCA system limitedly controls
the brakes to preemptively mitigate
impact in a collision.
•Completely stop the vehicle
on a safe location before
operating the switch on the
steering wheel to activate/
deactivate the FCA system.
•The FCA automatically acti-
vates upon placing the Engine
Start/Stop button to the ON
position. The driver can deac-
tivate the FCA by canceling
the system setting on the LCD
display.
•The FCA automatically deacti-
vates upon canceling the ESC
(Electronic Stability Control).
When the ESC is cancelled,
the FCA cannot be activated
on the LCD display. The FCA
warning light will illuminate
which is normal.

levels. You should control the brake
directly because the FCA system
do not control the brake.
Brake operation
• In an urgent situation, the braking
system enters into the ready status
for prompt reaction against the dri-
ver's depressing the brake pedal.
• The FCA provides additional brak-
ing power for optimum braking per-
formance, when the driver
depresses 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 brake control is automat-
ically cancelled, when risk factors
disappear.
