WARNING
The FCA is only a supplemen-
tal system for the driver’s con-
venience.
The driver still maintains
responsibility to control the
vehicle. Do not solely depend
on the FCA system. Rather,
maintain a safe braking dis-
tance, and, if necessary,
depress the brake pedal to
reduce the driving speed or
stop the vehicle.
The FCA may unnecessarily produce warning messages
and warning alarms. Due to
the sensing limitation, the
FCA may not produce warning
messages or warning alarm at
all.
When there is a malfunction with the FCA, the braking con-
trol does not operate upon
detecting a collision risk even
with other braking systems
normally operating.
(Continued)
(Continued)
The FCA operates only for thevehicle / pedestrian in front,
while driving forward. It does
not operate for any animals or
vehicles in the opposite direc-
tion.
The FCA cannot recognize cross-traffic or parked vehi-
cles presenting a sideprofile.
If the vehicle in front stops suddenly, you may have less
control of the brake system.
Therefore, always keep safe
distance between your vehicle
and the vehicle in front of you.
The FCA system may not acti- vate if the driver applies the
brake pedal to avoid risk of
collision.
(Continued)(Continued)
The FCA system does notoperate when the vehicle is in
reverse. In these cases, you
must maintain a safe braking
distance, and if necessary,
depress the brake pedal to
reduce the driving speed in
order to maintain a safe dis-
tance.
The FCA system may not acti- vate according to driving con-
dition, traffic on the road,
weather, road condition, etc.
The FCA system may not acti- vate to all types of vehicles.

- If the front of the camera lens is
contaminated by front glass tinting,
film, water repellent coating, dam-
age on glass, foreign matter (stick-
er, insect, etc.)
- The radar or camera or camera lens is damaged.
- If the headlights of the vehicle are not used at night or in the tunnel
section, or the light is too weak
- If street light or the light of the vehi- cle coming from the opposite is
reflected or when sunlight is
reflected by the water on the road
surface
- When the back light is projected in the direction of the vehicle's motion
(including the headlights of vehi-
cles)
- Road sign, shadow on the road, tunnel entrance, toll gate, partial
pavement - Driving on a curve
The FCA performance may be limit-
ed while driving on a curve. The FCA
may not recognize the vehicle in front
even in the same lane. The FCA sys-
tem may produce the warning mes-
sage and the warning alarm, or apply
the braking controls, prematurely, or
it may not produce the warning mes-
sage or the warning alarm, or apply
the braking controls, at all.
While driving on a curve, exercise
caution, and, if necessary, depress
the brake pedal. The FCA system may recognize a
vehicle in the next lane when driving
on a curved road.
In this case, the system may alarm
the driver and apply the brake.
Always pay attention to road and
driving conditions, while 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. Always check the traffic
conditions around the vehicle while
driving.

- Driving on a slope
The FCA performance may be limit-
ed while driving upward or downward
on a slope, and may not recognize
the vehicle in front in the same lane.
It may produce the warning message
and the warning alarm prematurely,
or it may not produce the warning
message and the warning alarm at
all.
When the FCA suddenly recognizes
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 a safe dis-
tance.
- 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.
