FORWARD COLLISION-AVOIDANCE ASSIST (FCA) SYSTEM - CAMERA TYPE (IF EQUIPPED)

The Forward Collision-Avoidance

Assist (FCA) system is designed to

help detect and monitor the vehicle

ahead in the roadway through camera

recognition to warn the driver that a

collision is imminent, and if necessary,

apply emergency braking.

The camera type Forward Collision-

Avoidance Assist (FCA) system

detects the vehicle ahead in the

roadway through camera.

System setting and activation

System setting

• The Forward Collision-Avoidance

Assist (FCA) system is enabled

whenever the vehicle is turned on.

To turn off the system, go to the

'User settings → Driver assistance'

and deselect 'FCA (Forward

Collision Avoidance Assist)' on the

cluster LCD display.

WARNING

Take the following precautions

when using the Forward

Collision-Avoidance

(FCA) system:

• This system is only a supple-

mental system and it 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 in accor-

dance with the road condi-

tions or while cornering.

• Always drive cautiously to

prevent unexpected and sud-

den situations from occur-

ring. FCA does not stop the

vehicle completely and is not

a collision avoidance system.

Prerequisite for activation

FCA warning message and

system control

WARNING

The FCA gets ready to be activated,

when the FCA is selected on the

LCD display, and when the following

prerequisites are satisfied.

- The ESC (Electronic Stability

Control) is on.

- Vehicle speed is over 10 km/h (6

mph) and below 60 km/h (38 mph).

(The FCA is only activated within a

certain speed range.)

- The system detects a vehicle in

front, which may collide with your

vehicle. (The FCA may not be acti-

vated or may sound a warning

alarm in accordance with the driv-

ing situation or vehicle condition.)

The FCA produces warning mes-

sages and warning alarms in accor-

dance with the collision risk levels,

such as abrupt stopping of the vehi-

cle in front or insufficient braking dis-

tance. Also, it controls the brakes in

accordance with the collision risk lev-

els.

The driver can select the initial warn-

ing activation time in the User

Settings on the LCD display. The

options for the initial Forward

Collision Warning include Late,

Normal or Early initial warning time.

• Completely stop the vehicle

on a safe location before

operating the switch on the

steering wheel to activate/

deactivate the FCA system.

• The FCA automatically acti-

vates upon placing the

POWER button to the ON

position. The driver can deac-

tivate the FCA by canceling

the system setting on the LCD

display.

• The FCA automatically deacti-

vates upon canceling the ESC

(Electronic Stability Control).

When the ESC is canceled,

the FCA cannot be activated

on the LCD display. The FCA

warning light will illuminate

which is normal.

NOTICE

WARNING

■ Front camera

• Always keep the camera sensor

clean and free of dirt and debris.

The FCA braking control cannot

completely stop the vehicle nor

avoid all collisions. The driver

should hold the responsibility

to safely drive and control the

vehicle.

• Be careful not to apply unneces-

sary force on the camera sensor.

If the sensor is forcibly moved

out of proper alignment, the FCA

system may not operate correct-

ly. In this case, a warning mes-

sage may not be displayed. Have

the vehicle inspected by an

authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

WARNING

The FCA system logic operates

within certain parameters, such

as the distance from the vehicle

ahead, the speed of the vehicle

ahead, and the driver's vehicle

speed. Certain conditions such

as inclement weather and road

conditions may affect the oper-

ation of the FCA system.

Driving your vehicle

• If there is a malfunction with

the FCA system, the Forward

Collision avoidance assist

system is not applied even

though the braking system is

operating normally.

• If the vehicle in front stops

suddenly, you may have less

control of the brake system.

Therefore, always keep a safe

distance between your vehicle

and the vehicle in front of you.

• Occupants may get injured, if

the vehicle abruptly stops by

the activated FCA system. Pay

extreme caution.

• Even if there is any problem in

the FCA system's brake con-

trol function, general braking

performance will operate nor-

mally. In this case, the brake

control function which oper-

ates when the collision is

imminent will not activate.

WARNING

• The FCA system operates

only to detect vehicles 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 may activate

during braking and the vehi-

cle may stop suddenly shift-

ing loose objects toward the

passengers. Always keep

loose objects secured.

• The FCA system may not acti-

vate if the driver applies the

brake pedal to avoid a colli-

sion.

• The brake control may not

work, possibly causing a colli-

sion, if a vehicle in front

abruptly stops. Always pay

extreme caution.

• The FCA system does not

detect vehicles in the oppo-

site lane.

• 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 vehicle

(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.

Limitations of the system

The Forward Collision-Avoidance

Assist (FCA) system is designed to

monitor the vehicle ahead in the road-

way through camera recognition to

warn the driver that a collision is immi-

nent, and if necessary, apply emer-

gency braking.

In certain situations, the camera may

not be able to detect the vehicle

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.

• The camera 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 camera

• The camera sensor recognition is

limited
