Early/Normal/Late'.
The options for the initial Forward Collision Warning includes the fol-
lowing: Early - When this condition is select-
ed, the initial Forward
Collision Warning is activat-
ed earlier than normal. This
setting maximizes the
amount of distance between
the vehicle or pedestrian
ahead before the initial warn-
ing occurs. If the ‘Early’ con-
dition feels too sensitive,
change it into ‘Normal’. When
the vehicle ahead suddenly
stops, the warning may
seem to activate later even if
the ‘Early’ condition was
selected.
selected, the initial Forward
Collision Warning is acti-
vated normally. This setting
allows for a nominal
amount of distance
between the vehicle or
pedestrian ahead before
the initial warning occurs.
When this condition is
selected, the initial Forward
Collision Warning is activat-
ed later than normal. This
setting reduces the amount
of distance between the
vehicle or pedestrians ahead
before the initial warning
occurs. Select this condition
only when traffic is light, and
you are driving slowly.

Prerequisite for activation
FCA gets ready to be activated,
when FCA is selected on the LCD
display, and when the following pre-
requisites are satisfied.
- The ESC (Electronic Stability
Control) is activated.
- Vehicle speed is over 5 mph (8 km/h). (FCA is only activated with-
in a certain speed range.)
- The system detects a vehicle or a pedestrian in front, which may col-
lide with your vehicle. (FCA may
not be activated or may sound a
warning alarm in accordance with
the driving situation or vehicle con-
dition.)
❈ FCA may not operate properly
according to the frontal situation,
the direction and speed of pedes-
trian.
FCA warning message and
system control
FCA produces warning messages,
warning alarms, and emergency
braking based on the level of risk of
a frontal collision, such as when a
vehicle ahead suddenly brakes.
The driver can select the initial warn-
ing activation time in the User
Settings in the LCD display. The
options for the initial Forward
Collision Warning include Early,
Normal or Late initial warning time.
WARNING

a safe location before operat-
ing the switch on the steering
wheel to activate/deactivate
FCA.
FCA automatically activates upon placing the ignition
switch to the ON position. The
driver can deactivate FCA by
canceling the system setting
on the LCD display or
Infotainment System screen.

Collision Warning (1st warning)
The warning message appears onthe LCD display with the warning
alarms.
The Vehicle may slow down slight- ly
- It will operate if the vehicle speed
is greater than 5 mph (8 km/h) and
less than or equal to 110 mph (180
km/h) on a forward vehicle.
(Depending on the condition of the
vehicle ahead and the environment
surrounding it, the possible maxi-
mum operating speed may be
reduced.) - For pedestrians, the vehicle
speed is greater than or equal to
5 mph (8 km/h) and less than 44
mph (70 km/h). (Depending on
the condition of pedestrians and
bike riders and the surrounding
environment the possible maxi-
mum operating speed may be
reduced.)
FCA controls the brakes within cer- tain limit to release shock from the
collision.
- If you select “Warning Only”, FCAactivates and produces only
warning alarms in accordance
with the collision risk levels. You
should control the brake directly
because FCA do not control the
brake.
Emergency braking (2nd warning)
The warning message appears on the LCD display with the warning
alarms.
The brake control is maximized just before a collision, reducing
impact when it strikes a forward
vehicle.
- It will operate if the vehicle speed
is greater than 5 mph (8 km/h) and
less than or equal to 50 mph (80
km/h) on a forward vehicle.
(Depending on the condition of the

Lane Keeping Assist is designed to
detect the lane markers on the road
with a front view camera at the front
windshield, and assists the driver’s
steering to help keep the vehicle in
the lanes. When the system detects the vehicle
straying from its lane, it alerts the
driver with a visual and audible warn-
ing, while applying a slight counter-
steering torque, trying to prevent the
vehicle from moving out of its lane.
