Setting
Forward Safety
The driver can activate FCA by plac-
ing the ignition switch or ENGINE
START/STOP button to the ON posi-
tion and by selecting on 'User
Settings →Driver Assistance →
Forward Safety'.
If you select "Active Assist", FCA activates. FCA produces warning
messages and warning alarms in
accordance with the collision risk
levels. Also, it controls the brakes
in accordance with the collision
risk levels. If you select "Warning Only", FCA
activates and produces only warn-
ing alarms in accordance with the
collision risk levels. You should
control the brake directly because
FCA do not control the brake.
If you select "Off", FCA deacti- vates.
WARNING
Take the following precautions
when using Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist :
This function is only a supple-mental function and it is not
intended to, or does it replace
the need for extreme care and
attention of the driver. The
sensing range and objects
detectable by the sensors are
limited. Pay attention to the
road conditions at all times.
NEVER drive too fast in accor- dance with the road condi-
tions or while cornering.
Always drive cautiously to prevent unexpected and sud-
den situations from occur-
ring. FCA does not stop the
vehicle completely and does
not avoid all collisions due to
function limitations.

Driving your vehicle
✽ ✽NOTICE
FCA assesses the risk of a collision
by monitoring several variables
such as the distance to the
vehicle/pedestrian ahead, the speed
of the vehicle/pedestrian ahead, and
the driver's operation of the vehicle.
Certain conditions such as
inclement weather and road condi-
tions may affect the operation of
FCA. For the function operation, do
not attempt risky driving.
✽ ✽NOTICE
• Use only soft clothes to wash the
vehicle. Do not spray pressurized
water directly on the sensor or
sensor cover.
• Use only genuine parts to repair or replace a damaged sensor or sen-
sor cover. Do not apply paint to
the sensor cover.
• Do not tint the window or install stickers or accessories around the
inside mirror where the camera is
installed.
• Make sure the front view camera installation point does not get wet.
• Do not impact or remove any front view camera components.
• Do not place reflective objects (white paper or mirror etc.) on the
dashboard. The function may acti-
vate unnecessarily due to reflec-
tion of the sunlight.
Warning message and warning
light
In this case, a warning message will
appear to notify the driver. Remove
the foreign substances to allow FCA
to function normally.
FCA may not properly operate in an
area (e.g. open terrain), where any
vehicles or objects are not detected
after turning ON the vehicle.
WARNING
Never deliberately drive danger-
ously to activate the function as
such conduct increases the risk
of an accident.

The vehicle in front is an oversize vehicle or trailer that is too big to
be detected by the camera recog-
nition function. (for example a trac-
tor trailer, etc.) 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).

does not turned ON or their rear
lights are located unusually.

ed.

[A]: Your vehicle, [B]: Lane changing
vehicle, [C]: Same lane vehicle
When driving in stop-and-go traffic,
and a stopped vehicle in front of you
merges out of the lane, FCA may not
immediately detect the new vehicle
that is now in front of you. In this
case, you must maintain a safe brak-
ing distance, and if necessary,
depress the brake pedal to reduce
your driving speed in order to main-
tain a safe distance.
Recognizing the vehicle
When the vehicle in front has heavy
loading extended rearward, or when
the vehicle in front has higher ground
clearance, it may induce a haz-
ardous situation. Always pay atten-
tion to road and driving conditions,
while driving and, if necessary,
depress the brake pedal to reduce
your driving speed in order to main-
tain distance.
Situation in which the function
may not detect pedestrian
properly.
The sensor may be limited when:
The pedestrian is not fully detected
by the camera recognition function,
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 function.
The outside lighting is too bright (e.g. when driving in bright sun-
light or in sun glare) or too dark.
(e.g. when driving on a dark rural
road at night)
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.

cation may adversely affect
your vehicle safety.
Exercise extreme caution to the vehicle in front, when it
has heavy loading extended
rearward, or when it has high-
er ground clearance.
Never try to test the operation of FCA. Doing so may cause
severe injury or death.
FCA is designed to detect and monitor the vehicle ahead or
detect a pedestrian in the
roadway through front view
camera recognition. It is not
designed to detect bicycles,
motorcycles, or smaller
wheeled objects such as lug-
gage bags, shopping carts, or
strollers.
