Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
(FCA) system is designed to help
detect and monitor the vehicle ahead
or detect a pedestrian or cyclists in
the roadway through radar signals
and camera recognition to warn the
driver that a collision is imminent,
and if necessary, apply emergency
braking.System setting and activation
System setting
The driver can activate FCA sys-tem by pushing the start button
(engine running) and by selecting :
“AVN →Setup →Vehicle →Driver
Assistance →Forward Safety”
- If you select “Active assistance”, FCA system activates. FCA pro-
duces warning messages and
warning alarms in accordance
with the collision risk levels. Also,
it controls the brakes in accor-
dance with the collision risk lev-
els.
- If you select “Warning only”, FCA system activates and produces
only warning alarms in accor-
dance with the collision risk lev-
els. You should control the brake
directly because FCA system do
not control the brake.
- If you select “OFF”, FCA system deactivates,

(FRONT CAMERA + FRONT RADAR)
WARNING
Take the following precautions
when using the Forward
Collision-avoidance Assist
(FCA) system:
This system is only a supple- mental system and is not
intended to, nor does it,
replace the need for extreme
care and attention of the driv-
er. The sensing range and
objects detectable by the sen-
sors are limited. Pay attention
to the road conditions at all
times.
NEVER drive too fast for the road conditions or while cor-
nering.
Always drive cautiously to prevent unexpected and sud-
den situations from occur-
ring. FCA system does not
stop the vehicle completely
and is not a collision avoid-
ance system.

properly, always make sure the sen-
sor cover or sensor is clean and free
of dirt, snow, and debris. Dirt, snow, or foreign substances
may adversely affect the sensing
performance of the sensor.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
• Do not apply license plate molding
or foreign objects such as a
bumper sticker or a bumper guard
near the radar sensor. Doing so
may adversely affect the sensing
performance of the radar.
• Always keep the radar sensor and cover clean and free of dirt and
debris.
• Use only a soft cloth to wash the vehicle. Do not spray pressurized
water directly on the sensor or
sensor cover.
• Be careful not to apply unneces- sary force on the radar sensor or
sensor cover. If the sensor is
forcibly moved out of proper
alignment, FCA system may not
operate correctly. In this case, a

WARNING
FCA is only a supplementalsystem for the driver's con-
venience. The driver should
hold the responsibility to con-
trol the vehicle operation. Do
not solely depend on 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, FCA system may acti-
vate unintentionally. This ini-
tial 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 cyclist ahead. FCA system
may not activate and the
warning message may not be
displayed.

Limitations of the system
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
(FCA) system is designed to monitor
the vehicle or pedestrian or cyclist
ahead in the roadway through radar
signals and camera recognition to
warn the driver that a collision is
imminent, and if necessary, apply
emergency braking.
In certain situations, the radar sensor
or the camera may not be able to
detect the vehicle or pedestrian or
cyclist ahead. In these cases, FCA
system may not operate normally.
The driver must pay careful attention
in the following situations where FCA
operation may be limited.
Detecting vehicles
The sensor may be limited when:
The system may not work around
15 seconds after starting the vehi-
cle or the initialization or rebooting
of the front view camera.
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
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 radar sensor or cam-
era.
There is interference by electro- magnetic waves.
There is severe irregular reflection from the radar sensor.
The radar/camera sensor recogni- tion is limited.
The vehicle in front is too small to be detected (for example a motor-
cycle etc.).(Continued)
FCA system cannot detectany cross traffic cyclists that
are approaching.
In these cases, you must
maintain a safe braking dis-
tance, and if necessary,
depress the brake pedal to
reduce the driving speed in
order to maintain a safe dis-
tance.

563
Driving your vehicle
The vehicle in front is an oversizevehicle 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 or their rear lights
does not 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.
The field of view in front is obstructed by sun glare or head
light of oncoming vehicle.
The windshield glass is fogged up; a clear view of the road is obstructed.
The vehicle in front is driving erratically. The vehicle is on unpaved or
uneven rough surfaces, or road
with sudden gradient changes.
The vehicle is driven near areas containing metal substances as a
construction zone, railroad, etc.
The vehicle drives inside a build- ing, such as a basement parking
lot.
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.
A shadow is on the road by a medi- an 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.).
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 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 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
radar sensor or 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.
When driving on a curve the driver
must maintain a safe braking dis-
tance, and if necessary, depress the
brake pedal to reduce your driving
speed in order to maintain a safe dis-
tance.
FCA system may recognize a vehicle
in the next lane when driving on a
curved road.
In this situation, the system may
unnecessarily 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
system.

When driving in stop-and-go traffic,
and a stopped vehicle in front of you
merges out of the lane, FCA system
may not immediately detect the new
vehicle that is now in front of you. In
this situation, you must maintain a
safe braking distance, and if neces-
sary, 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.
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 a safe distance.
Recognizing pedestrians or
cyclists
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 camera
recognition 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 road
at 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, cyclists or a large
crowd
