The drive mode may be selected
according to the driver's preferenceor road condition. The system resets to be in the NOR-
MAL mode (except if it is in ECO
mode), when the vehicle is restarted.Information
If there is a problem with the instru-
ment cluster, the drive mode will be in
NORMAL mode and may not change
to ECO mode. The mode changes, as below,
whenever the DRIVE MODE buttonis pressed.
Press and hold the DRIVE MODE
button to select ECO+ mode.ECO mode
ECO mode improves bat-tery charge use efficiency
for eco-friendly driving.
When ECO mode is selected by pressing the DRIVE MODE button,
the ECO indicator (green color) will

If the vehicle is set to ECO mode, when the vehicle is turned OFF
and restarted the Drive Mode set-
ting will remain in ECO mode.
Information
Battery charge use efficiency depends
on the driver's driving habit and road
condition. When ECO mode is activated:
The acceleration response may be
slightly reduced as the accelerator
pedal is depressed moderately.
The air conditioner performance may be limited.
The above situations are normalconditions when ECO mode is acti-
vated to improve fuel efficiency.

Driving your vehicle
The warning light illu- minates on the LCD
display, when you can-cel the FCA system.
The driver can monitor the FCA
ON/OFF status on the AVN screen.
Also, the warning light illuminateswhen the ESC (Electronic Stability
Control) is turned off. If the warninglight remains ON when the FCA is
activated, have the system
checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
The driver can select the initial warning activation time on the AVNscreen.
Go to the "Vehicle settings Driver
assistance Warning time
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 nor-
mal. This setting reduces the
amount of distance between the
vehicle, pedestrian or cyclists
ahead before the initial warning
occurs.
Select 'Later' when traffic is light
and when driving speed is slow. Information
If you change the warning timing, the
warning time of other systems may

Prerequisite for activation
The FCA system is on and ready
when FCA is selected on the AVN
vehicle settings and when the follow-ing prerequisites are satisfied:
- The ESC (Electronic StabilityControl) is on.
- Driving speed exceeds approxi- mately 8 km/h (5 mph) (The FCA
is only activated within a certain
speed range.).
- The system detects a pedestrian, cyclists or a vehicle in front, which
may collide with your vehicle. (The
FCA may not be activated or may
sound a warning alarm in accor-
dance with the driving situation or
vehicle condition.)
If you select "Warning only", the
FCA system activates and pro-
duces 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 orcyclist 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, or pedestrian or cyclists
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 Vehicle set-
tings in the AVN screen. The options
for the initial Forward Collision
Warning include Early or Later initial
warning time.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
POWER button to the ON
position. The driver can deac-
tivate the FCA by canceling
the system setting on the AVNscreen.
The FCA automatically deacti-
vates upon canceling the ESC
(Electronic Stability Control).When the ESC is canceled,
the FCA cannot be activated
on the AVN screen. The FCAwarning light will illuminate
which is normal.

System Malfunction
Check Forward Collision Avoidance
Assist system
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,
have the vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
The FCA warning message may appear along with the illuminationof the ESC (Electronic Stability
Control) warning light.
The FCA is only a supplemen-
tal system for the driver’s con-
venience. The driver shouldhold 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 brakepedal to reduce the drivingspeed.
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 radar sensor or camera
recognition system may not
detect the vehicle, pedestrian
or cyclists ahead. The FCA
system may not activate and
the warning message will not
be displayed.
WARNING Even if there is any problem
with the brake control func-
tion of the FCA system, the
vehicle's basic braking per-
formance will operate normal-
ly. However, brake control
function 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 keeploose 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 not
work, possibly causing a colli-
sion, if a vehicle in front
abruptly stops. Always pay
extreme caution.

too much reflection or too much
backlight that obscures the field of
view)
The camera does not recognize the entire vehicle in front.
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 vehicle in front does not have rear lights or the rear lights are not
turned ON or the rear lights are
located unusually.
The outside brightness changes suddenly, for example when enter-
ing or exiting a tunnel The vehicle drives inside a building,
such as a basement parking lot
The adverse road conditions cause excessive vehicle vibrations while
driving
You are on a roundabout and the vehicle in front circles
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
The camera is damaged.
The brightness outside is too low such as when the headlamps are
not on at night or the vehicle isgoing through a tunnel.

- 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.
Detecting pedestrians orcyclists
The sensor may be limited when:
The pedestrian or cyclist is not fully detected by the camera recogni-
tion system, for example, if the
pedestrian is leaning over or is not
fully walking upright
The pedestrian or cyclist is moving very quickly or appears abruptly in
the camera detection area
The pedestrian or cyclist is wear- ing clothing that easily blends into
the background, making it difficult
to be detected by the camerarecognition system
The outside lighting is too bright (e.g. when driving in bright sunlight
or in sun glare) or too dark (e.g.
when driving on a dark rural roadat night)
It is difficult to detect and distin- guish the pedestrian or cyclist from
other objects in the surroundings,
for example, when there is a group
of pedestrians, cyclist or a large
crowd There is an item similar to a per-
son's body structure
The pedestrian or cyclist is small
The pedestrian has impaired mobility
The sensor recognition is limited
The radar sensor or camera is blocked with a foreign object or
debris
Inclement weather such as heavy rain or snow obscures the field of
view of the radar sensor or camera
When light coming from a street light or an oncoming vehicle is
reflected on a wet road surfacesuch as a puddle in the road
The field of view in front is obstructed by sun glare
The windshield glass is fogged up; a clear view of the road is obstruct-ed
The adverse road conditions cause excessive vehicle vibrations while
driving

Blind-Spot Collision-AvoidanceAssist (BCA) system
The Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance
Assist (BCA) system may apply brak-
ing power, when an approaching
vehicle is detected within a certain
distance next to or behind your vehi-
cle.
It gently applies braking power on
the tire, which is located in the oppo-
site side of the possibly-colliding
point. The instrument cluster will
inform the driver of the system acti-
vation.
The warning light on the outer
side view mirror will illumi-
nate whenever a vehicle is
detected at the rear side bythe system.
To avoid accidents, do not
focus only on the warninglight and neglect to see the
surrounding of the vehicle.
Drive safely even though the
vehicle is equipped with a
Blind-Spot Collision Warning
(BCA) system. Do not solely
rely on the system but check
your surrounding before
changing lanes or backing the
vehicle up.
The system may not alert the driver in some conditions so
always check your surround-ings while driving.
WARNING
The driver should always use
extreme caution while operat-
ing the vehicle, whether or notthe warning light on the outer
side view mirror illuminates orthere is a warning alarm.
Playing the vehicle audio sys-
tem at high volume may offsetthe Blind-Spot Collision
Warning system warningsounds.
If any other warning sound
such as seat belt warning
chime is already generated,the Blind-Spot Collision
Warning (BCW) system warn-
ing may not sound.
