Limitations of the System
The Forward Collision Avoidance
Assist (FCA) system is designed to
monitor the vehicle ahead or a
pedestrian on the roadway through
radar signals and camera recogni-
tion to warn the driver that a collision
is imminent, and if necessary, apply
emergency braking.
In certain situations, the radar sen-
sor or the camera may not be able to
detect the vehicle or pedestrian
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 radar sensor or camera isblocked 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
There is interference by electro- magnetic waves
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 vehi-
cle (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.
The FCA system may not acti-
vate according to the road
conditions, inclement weath-
er, driving conditions or traffic
conditions.
Occupants may get injured, if
the vehicle abruptly stops by
the activated FCA system. Pay
extreme caution.
The FCA system does not
detect all vehicles.
The FCA system operates
only to help detect vehicles or
pedestrians 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 vehicle is on unpaved oruneven rough surfaces, or road
with sudden gradient changes.
The vehicle drives through a con- struction area, on an unpaved
road, or above metal materials,
such as a railway
The vehicle in front is too small to be detected (for example a motor-
cycle or a bicycle, 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 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 trac-
tor 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.

ing or exiting a tunnel The vehicle drives inside a building,
such as a basement parking lot

while driving
You are on a roundabout and the vehicle in front circles

windshield, damaged glass, or
stuck of foreign matter (sticker,
bug, etc.) on the glass

not on at night or the vehicle is
going through a tunnel.

on a wet road surface such as a
puddle in the road

ple, the vehicle is spinning or the

Detecting pedestrians
The sensor may be limited when:
The pedestrian is not fully detect-ed by the camera recognition sys-
tem, for example, if the pedestrian
is leaning over or is not fully walk-
ing 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 system
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
There is an item similar to a per- son's body structure
The pedestrian is small The pedestrian has impaired
mobility
The radar sensor or camera is blocked with a foreign object or
debris
The camera lens is contaminated due to tinted, filmed or coated
windshield, damaged glass, or
piece of foreign matter (sticker,
bug, etc.) on the glass

Driving your vehicle- BCW turns on and is ready to be activated when 'Warning Only' is
selected. Then, if a vehicle
approaches the driver's blind
spot area a warning sounds but
braking is not applied.
- The system is deactivated and the indicator on the BCW/BCA
button is turned off when 'Off' is
selected.
If you press the BCW/BCA switchwhile 'Active Assist' or 'Warning
Only' is selected the indicator on
the switch will turn off and the sys-
tem will deactivate.
If you press the BCW/BCA switch while the system is canceled the
indicator on the button illuminates
and the system activates. In this
case, the system returns to the
state before the engine was turned
off.
When the system is initially turned
on and when the engine is turned
off then on again while the system
is in activation, the warning light
will illuminate for 3 seconds on the
outer side view mirror. If the engine is turned off then on
again, the system maintains the
previous state.
The driver can select the initial warning activation time in the User
Settings in the LCD display by
selecting 'User Settings → Driver
Assistance →Warning Timing'.

First stage alert
If a vehicle is detected within the
boundary of the system, a warning
light will illuminate on the outer side
view mirror and the head up display
(if equipped).
Once the detected vehicle is no
longer within the blind spot area, the
warning will turn off according to the
driving conditions of the vehicle.

Second stage alert
A warning chime to alert the driver will activate when:
1. A vehicle has been detected in the blind spot area by the radar systemAND.
2. The turn signal is applied (same side as where the vehicle is being detect- ed).
When this alert is activated, the warning light on the outer side view mirror
and the head up display (if equipped) will also blink. And a warning chime will
sound.
If you turn off the turn signal indicator, the second stage alert will be deacti-
vated.
Once the detected vehicle is no longer within the blind spot area, the warn-
ing will turn off according to the driving conditions of the vehicle.

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 by
the system.
To avoid accidents, do not
focus only on the warning
light and neglect to see the
surrounding of the vehicle.
Drive safely even though the
vehicle is equipped with a
Blind-Spot Collision Warning
(BCW) 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 not
the warning light on the outer
side view mirror illuminates or
there is a warning alarm.
Playing the vehicle audio sys-
tem at high volume may offset
the Blind-Spot Collision
Warning system warning
sounds.
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.

on the outer side view mirror will
blink and a warning will appear on
the LCD display. If the rear view mon-
itor system is in activation, a warning
will also appear on the audio or AVN
screen.
The warning will stop when:
- the detected vehicle moves out ofthe sensing area or
- when the vehicle is right behind your vehicle or

Driving your vehicleIf the risk of collision is detected
while the RCCW is generated, brake
is controlled. The instrument cluster
will inform the driver of the brake
control. If the rear view monitor sys-
tem is in activation, a message will
also appear on the audio or AVN
screen.
After the brake control, the driver
must immediately depress the brake
pedal and check the surroundings.
- The brake activation by the systemlasts for about 2 seconds.
The driver must pay attention as
the brake is disengaged after 2
seconds.
- The brake control by the system is canceled if the driver depresses
the brake pedal with sufficient
power.
- Brake control is activated once for each right/left approach after shift-
