Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
warning light ( ) will illuminate

ODL3A050328
WARNING
Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist is only a supplemental
function. It is the driver's respon-
sibility to control the vehicle
operation. Do not solely depend
on Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist. Rather, maintain a safe
braking distance, and, if neces-
sary, depress the brake pedal to
reduce the driving speed or stop
the vehicle.
 In certain instances and undercertain driving conditions,
Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist may activate uninten-
tionally. This initial warning
message appears on the LCD
display with a warning chime.
Also, due to sensing limita-
tions, in certain situations, the
front view camera recognition
function may not detect the
vehicle or pedestrian ahead.

Limitations of Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
is designed to monitor the vehicle
ahead in the roadway through front
view camera recognition to warn the
driver that a collision is imminent,
and if necessary, apply emergency
braking.
In certain situations, the front view
camera may not be able to detect the
vehicle ahead. In these cases,
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
may not operate normally. The driver
must pay careful attention in the fol-
lowing situations where Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist operation
may be limited. The sensor may be limited when:
 The function may not operate for
15 seconds after the vehicle is
started or the camera is initialized.
 Front view camera contaminated or blocked.
 The camera lens is contaminated due to tinted, filmed or coated
windshield, damaged glass, or
sticky foreign matter (sticker, bug,
etc.) on the glass.
 Inclement weather such as heavy rain or snow obscures the field of
view of the camera.
 There is interference by electro- magnetic waves.
 The camera sensor recognition is limited
 The vehicle in front is too small to be detected. (for example a motor-
cycle etc.)
 The vehicle in front is an oversize vehicle or trailer that is too big to
be detected by the camera recog-
nition function. (for example a trac-
tor 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.
 Light coming from a street light or an oncoming traffic is reflected on
a wet road surface such as a pud-
dle 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 obstruct-
ed.
 The vehicle in front is driving errat- ically.
 The vehicle is on unpaved or uneven rough. surfaces, or road
with sudden gradient changes.

 The vehicle drives through a toll- gate.
 The windshield glass is fogged up; a clear view of the road is obstruct-
ed.  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 adverse road conditions cause excessive vehicle vibrations while
driving.

Situation in which the function
may not detect pedestrian
properly
The sensor may be limited when:
 The pedestrian is not fully detectedby the camera recognition function,
for example, if the pedestrian is
leaning over or is not fully walking
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 function.
 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 sensor recognition is limited.
 The camera is blocked with a for- eign object or debris.
 Inclement weather such as heavy rain or snow obscures the field of
view of the camera.
 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.
 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.
 The sensor recognition changes suddenly when passing over a
speed bump.  You are on a roundabout.
 The pedestrian suddenly appears
in front of the vehicle.
 There is any other electromagnetic interference.

Mode" in chapter 4.
• When lane markings are detected, the lane lines on the cluster will
change from gray to white and the
green ( ) indicator light will
illuminate.
 Even though the steering is assist-
ed by Lane Keeping Assist, the
driver may control the steering
wheel.
 The steering wheel may feel heav- ier or lighter when the steering
wheel is assisted by Lane Keeping
Assist than when it is not.
WARNING
 The steering wheel may notbe assisted if the steering
wheel is held very tight or the
steering wheel is steered over
a certain degree.
 Lane Keeping Assist does not operate at all times. It is the
responsibility of the driver to
safely steer the vehicle and to

lane.
 The hands-off warning mes- sage may appear late depend-
ing on road conditions. Always
have your hands on the steer-
ing wheel while driving.

warning message may appear
because Lane Keeping Assist
may not recognize that the
driver has their hands on the
steering wheel.
