In an angled collision, the force of
impact may direct the occupants in
a direction where the air bags
would not be able to provide any
additional benefit, and thus the
sensors may not deploy any air
bags. Just before impact, drivers often
brake heavily. Such heavy braking
lowers the front portion of the vehi-
cle causing it to “ride” under a vehi-
cle with a higher ground clearance.
Air bags may not inflate in this
"under-ride" situation because
deceleration forces that are detect-
ed by sensors may be significantly
reduced by such “under-ride” colli-
sions. Front air bags may not inflate in all
rollover accidents where the
SRSCM indicates that the front air
bag deployment would not provide
additional occupant protection.

(Continued)
If the vehicle in front stops
suddenly, you may have less
control of the brake system.
Therefore, always keep safe
distance between your vehicle
and the vehicle in front of you.
FCA may activate during brak- ing and the vehicle may stop
suddenly. And the load in the
vehicle may endanger passen-
gers. Therefore, always be
mindful of the load volume in
the vehicle.
FCA may not activate if the driver applies the brake pedal
to avoid risk of collision.
FCA does not operate when the vehicle is in reverse. In
these circumstances, you
must maintain a safe braking
distance, and if necessary,
depress the brake pedal to
reduce the driving speed in
order to maintain a safe dis
tance.
(Continued)WARNING
FCA is only a supplementalsystem for the driver’s con-
venience. The driver has the
ultimate responsibility to con-
trol and operate the vehicle
safely. Do not solely depend
on FCA. Rather, maintain a
safe braking distance, and, if
necessary, depress the brake
pedal to lower the driving
speed.
In certain instances and under certain driving condi-
tions, FCA may activate unin-
tentionally. 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 or pedestri-
an ahead. FCA may not acti-
vate and the warning mes-
sage will not be displayed.
(Continued)
(Continued)
FCA may unnecessarily pro-duce the warning message
and the warning alarms. Also,
due to the sensing limitation,
FCA may not produce the
warning message and the
warning alarm at all.
When there is a malfunction with FCA, the braking control
does not operate upon detect-
ing a collision risk even with
other braking systems nor-
mally operating.
FCA operates only for the vehicle/pedestrian in front,
while driving forward. It does
not operate for any animals or
vehicles in the opposite direc-
tion.
FCA does not recognize the vehicle, which transversally
drives across the crossroad,
or the vehicle, which is parked
in the transversal direction.

Limitation of the system
FCA is an assistant system for a driv-
er in a certain risky driving condition
and it does not take every responsi-
bility for all risks from driving condi-
tion.
FCA monitors the driving situations
through the radar and the camera
sensor. Thus, for a situation out of
the sensing range, FCA may not nor-
mally operate. The driver should pay
great caution in the following situa-
tions. FCA operation may be limited.
Recognizing vehicles
The sensor may be limited when:
The front view camera or frontradar sensor is blocked with a for-
eign 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 camera
There is interference by electro- magnetic waves
There is severe irregular reflection from the radar sensor
The front view camera/front radar 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 system (for example a tractor
trailer, etc.)(Continued)
The regular braking functionwill operate normally even if
There is a problem with the
FCA brake control system or
other functions. In this case,
the braking control will not
operate in an imminent colli-
sion.
FCA may not activate accord- ing to driving condition, traffic
on the road, weather, road
condition, etc.
FCA may not activate in response to all types of vehi-
cles.

Driving your vehicle
If not using headlamp or usingweak light in the night or in a tun-
nel.
Backlight is shining in the driving direction of the vehicle. (Including
oncoming vehicle headlights.)
When the rear part of the front vehicle is small or low.
When a trailer or other vehicle is towing the front vehicle.
When the ground clearance of the front vehicle is high.
When a front vehicle makes sud- den lane changes unexpectedly.
- Driving on a curve
The performance of Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist may be
limited when driving on a curved
road. The front camera or radar sensor
recognition system may not detect
the vehicle or pedestrian traveling in
front on a curved road.
This may result in no alarm and brak-
ing when necessary.
Always pay attention to road and
driving conditions, and if necessary,
depress the brake pedal to reduce
your driving speed in order to main-
tain a safe distance.

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
may recognize a vehicle or pedestrian
in the next lane or outside the lane
when driving on a curved road. If this occurs, the system may unnec-
essarily alarm the driver and apply the
brake.
Always pay attention to road and driv-
ing conditions, while driving.
- Driving on a slope
The performance of Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist may be
decreased while driving upward or
downward on a slope. The front cam-
era or front radar sensor recognition
may not detect the vehicle or pedes-
trian in front.

- Recognizing the vehicle
When the vehicle in front has heavy
loading extended rearward, or when
the vehicle in front has higher ground
clearance, it may induce a haz-
ardous situation. Always pay atten-
tion to road and driving conditions,
while driving and, if necessary,
depress the brake pedal to reduce
your driving speed in order to main-
tain distance.
Detecting pedestrians
The sensor may be limited when:
The pedestrian is not fully detected
by the camera recognition system,
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 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 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 radar sensor or camera is cov- ered 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 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.
Adverse road conditions cause excessive vehicle vibrations while
driving
When the pedestrian suddenly appears in front of the vehicle
When there is any other electro- magnetic interference
When a construction area, rail or other metal object is near the
pedestrian.
