FORWARD COLLISION-AVOIDANCE ASSIST (FCA) SYSTEM-SENSOR FUSION TYPE

(FRONT RADAR + FRONT CAMERA) (IF EQUIPPED)

The Forward Collision-avoidance

Assist (FCA) system is designed to

help detect and monitor the vehicle

ahead or detect a pedestrian (if

equipped) in the roadway through

radar signals and camera recogni-

tion to warn the driver that a collision

is imminent, and if necessary, apply

emergency braking.

Collision Warning (First warning)

FCA Warning Message and

System Control

WARNING

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, insufficient braking dis-

tance, or pedestrian detection. Also,

it controls the brakes in accordance

with the collision risk levels.

• 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 igni-

tion switch to the ON position.

The driver can deactivate 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 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.

OOS057016L

This warning message appears on

the LCD display with a warning

chime. Additionally, some vehicle

system intervention occurs by the

engine management system to help

decelerate the vehicle.

- Your vehicle speed may decelerate

moderately.

- The FCA system limitedly controls

the brakes to preemptively mitigate

impact in a collision.

Emergency Braking

(Second warning)

Brake operation

WARNING

• In an urgent situation, the braking

system enters into the ready status

for prompt reaction against the dri-

ver’s depressing the brake pedal.

• The FCA provides additional brak-

ing power for optimum braking per-

formance, when the driver depress-

es the brake pedal.

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.

• The braking control is automatical-

ly deactivated, when the driver

sharply depresses the accelerator

pedal, or when the driver abruptly

operates the steering wheel.

• The FCA braking control is auto-

matically canceled, when risk fac-

tors disappear.

WARNING

The FCA system logic operates

within certain parameters, such

as the distance from the vehicle

or pedestrian 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 operation 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.

• 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.

• Occupants may get injured, if

the vehicle abruptly stops by

the activated FCA system. Pay

extreme caution.

WARNING

• The FCA is only a supplemen-

tal system for the driver’s con-

venience. The driver should

hold the responsibility to con-

trol the vehicle operation. Do

not solely depend on the 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, the FCA system may

activate prematurely. 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 or pedestri-

an ahead. The FCA system

may not activate and the

warning message will not be

displayed.

WARNING

• The FCA system operates

only to detect vehicles or

pedestrians 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 does not

detect vehicles in the oppo-

site lane.

• 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 cross traffic vehicles

that are approaching.

Detecting vehicles

The sensor may be limited when:

Limitations of the System

• The FCA system cannot

detect the driver approaching

the side view of a parked vehi-

cle (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.

The Forward Collision avoidance

assist (FCA) system is designed to

monitor the vehicle ahead or a

pedestrian on the roadway through

radar signals and camera recogni-

tion to warn the driver that a collision

is imminent, and if necessary, apply

emergency braking.

In certain situations, the radar sen-

sor or the camera may not be able to

detect the vehicle or pedestrian

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 radar sensor or camera is

blocked 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

• 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 or a bicycle, etc.)

5

• 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.)

• The driver's field of view is not well

illuminated (either too dark or too

much reflection or too much back-

light that obscures the field of view)

• The vehicle in front does not have

their rear lights properly turned ON

5-75

- Driving on a curve

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist

system 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.

The performance of Forward

Collision-Avoidance Assist system

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.

Always pay attention to road and

driving conditions, while driving.

• The adverse road conditions cause

excessive vehicle vibrations while

driving

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.

• The vehicle in front is moving verti-

cally to the driving direction

- Driving on a slope

- Changing lanes

The performance of Forward

Collision-Avoidance Assist system

may be decreased while driving

upward or downward on a slope. The

front camera or front radar sensor

recognition may not detect the vehi-

cle or pedestrian in front.

This may result in unnecessary

alarm and braking or no alarm and

braking when necessary.

When a vehicle changes lanes in

front of you, the FCA system may not

immediately detect the vehicle, espe-

cially if the vehicle changes lanes

abruptly. In this case, you 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.
