FCA sensor
In order for the FCA system to oper-
ate properly, always make sure the
camera is clean and free of dirt,
snow, and debris. Dirt, snow, or for-
eign substances on the surface may
adversely affect the sensing perform-
ance of the camera. Always keep the camera sensor
clean and free of dirt and debris.
Be careful not to apply unneces- sary force on the camera sensor.
If the sensor is forcibly moved
out of proper alignment, the FCA
system may not operate correct-
ly. In this case, a warning mes-
sage may not be displayed. Have
the vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Use only genuine HYUNDAI parts to repair or replace a dam-
aged sensor.
NOTICE
5
The FCA braking control cannot
completely stop the vehicle nor
avoid all collisions. The driver
should hold the responsibility
to safely drive and control the
vehicle.
WARNING
Never deliberately drive danger-
ously to activate the system.
WARNING
The FCA system logic operates
within certain parameters, such
as the distance from the vehicle
ahead, the speed of the vehicle
ahead, and the driver's vehicle
speed. Certain conditions such
as inclement weather and road
conditions may affect the oper-
ation of the FCA system.

Depending on the driving, traf-
fic, road or weather condition,
the FCA system may not acti-
vate properly without the warn-
ing message displayed.
WARNING
OOS057082L
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
activate unintentionally. This
initial warning message
appears on the LCD display
with a warning chime.
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.
WARNING

5-62
Driving your vehicle
If there is a malfunction with
the FCA system, the Forward
Collision avoidance assist
system is not applied even
though the braking system is
operating normally.
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.
Occupants may get injured, if
the vehicle abruptly stops by
the activated FCA system. Pay
extreme caution.
Even if there is any problem in
the FCA system's brake con-
trol function, general braking
performance will operate nor-
mally. In this case, the brake
control function which oper-
ates when the collision is
imminent will not activate.
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 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.

Limitations of the system
The Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist (FCA) system is designed to
monitor the vehicle ahead in the road-
way through camera recognition to
warn the driver that a collision is immi-
nent, and if necessary, apply emer-
gency 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
windshield, 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 camera sensor recognition is limited
The camera does not recognize the entire vehicle in front.
The camera is damaged.
The brightness outside is too low such as when the headlamps are
not on at night or the vehicle is
going through a tunnel.
The shadow is on the road by a median strip, trees, etc.
The vehicle drives through a toll- gate. 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 vehicle in front is too small to be detected (for example a motor-
cycle or a bicycle, etc.)
The vehicle in front is an oversize vehicle or trailer that is too big to
be detected by the camera recog-
nition system (for example a tractor
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)
The vehicle in front does not have their rear lights properly turned ON
or their rear lights are located
unusually.
The outside brightness changes suddenly, for example when enter-
ing or exiting a tunnel
When light coming from a street light or an oncoming vehicle is
reflected on a wet road surface
such as a puddle in the road
5

5-64
The field of view in front is obstruct-ed by sun glare
The windshield glass is fogged up; a clear view of the road is obstruct-
ed
The vehicle in front is driving errati- cally
The vehicle is on unpaved or uneven rough surfaces, or road
with sudden gradient changes.
The vehicle drives inside a building, such as a basement parking lot
The adverse road conditions cause excessive vehicle vibrations while
driving
The sensor recognition changes suddenly when passing over a
speed bump
The vehicle in front is moving verti- cally to the driving direction
The vehicle in front is stopped ver- tically
The vehicle in front is driving towards your vehicle or reversing
You are on a roundabout and the vehicle in front circles - 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 recognized
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 traveling 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.

OOS058103

5-65
Driving your vehicle
The FCA system may recognize 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, 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.
Check to be sure that the road con-
ditions permit safe operation of FCA.- Driving on a slope
The performance of the FCA decreas-
es while driving upward or downward
on a slope, not recognizing 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 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 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.

5-66
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.
Driving your vehicle

Do not use the Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist
(FCA) system when towing a
vehicle. Application of the
FCA system while towing may
adversely affect the safety of
your vehicle or the towing
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 bicy-
cles, motorcycles, or smaller
wheeled objects such as lug-
gage bags, shopping carts, or
strollers.

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 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. The Forward Collision
Avoidance system may not
always stop the vehicle com-
pletely and is only intended to
help mitigate a collision that
is imminent.
