Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist is
designed to help detect and monitor the
vehicle ahead or detect a pedestrian in
the roadway and warn the driver that
a collision is imminent with a warning
message and audible warning, and if
necessary, apply emergency braking.
Detecting sensor
OCN7060030[1] : Front view camera
Refer to the picture above for the
detailed location of the detecting sensor.
CAUTION
Take the following precautions to
maintain optimal performance of the

Stopping vehicle and ending brake control
• When the vehicle is stopped due to
emergency br
aking, ‘Driv e car efully’ warning message will appear on the
clus

ter.
For your safety, the driver should
depress the brake pedal immediately
and check the surroundings.
• Brake control will end after the vehicle
is stopped by emergency braking for
approximately 2 seconds.
WARNING
Take the following precautions when
using Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist:
• For your safety, change the Settings
after parking the vehicle at a safe
location.
• With ‘Active Assist’ or ‘Warning Only’
selected, when ESC is turned off by
pressing and holding the ESC OFF
button for more than 3 seconds,
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
will turn off automatically. In this
case, the function cannot be set
from the Settings menu and the

warning light will illuminate on the
cluster which is normal. If ESC is
turned on by pressing the ESC OFF
button, Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist will maintain the last setting. •
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
does not operate in all situations or
cannot avoid all collisions.
• The driver should hold the
responsibility to control the vehicle.
Do not solely depend on Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist function.
Rather, maintain a safe braking
distance, and, if necessary, depress
the brake pedal to reduce driving
speed or to stop the vehicle.
• Never deliberately operate Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist on people,
animal, objects, etc. It may cause
serious injury or death.
• Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist may not operate if the driver
depresses the brake pedal to avoid
collision.
• Depending on the road and driving
conditions, Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist may warn the driver
late or may not warn the driver.
• During Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist operation the vehicle may
stop suddenly injuring passengers
and shifting loose objects. Always
have the seat belt on and keep loose
objects secured.
• If any other system’s warning
message is displayed or audible
warning is generated, Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist warning
message may not be displayed
and audible warning may not be
generated.
• You may not hear the warning sound
of Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist if the surrounding is noisy.
• Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist may turn off or may not
operate properly or may operate
unnecessarily depending on the road
conditions and the surroundings.

WARNING
• Even if there is a problem with
Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist, the vehicle’s basic braking
performance will operate normally.
• During emergency braking,
braking control by the function
will automatically cancel when the
driver excessively depresses the
accelerator pedal or sharply steers
the vehicle.
CAUTION
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
operating speed range may reduce
due to the conditions of the vehicle or
pedestrian in front or surroundings.
Depending on the speed, the function
may only warn the driver, or the
function may not operate.
Information
In a situation where collision is imminent,
braking may be assisted by Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist when braking
is insufficient by the driver.
