Driving your vehicle
FCA system will also be deactivated
for the sake of driver's safety when
the ESC warning light comes on. The
FCA warning message will appear at
the same time, too. But that doesn't
necessarily mean the malfunction of
FCA system.
Both FCA warning light and warning
message will disappear once the ESC
warning light issue is resolved.
WARNING
FCA system is only a supplemen -
tal system for the driver's conve -
nience. It is the driver's
responsibility to control the vehi -
cle operation. Do not solely
depend on FCA system. Rather,
maintain a safe braking distance,
and, if necessary, depress the
brake pedal to reduce the driving
speed or stop the vehicle.
In certain instances and under
certain driving conditions, FCA
system may activate uninten -
tionally. This initial warning mes -
sage appears on the LCD display
with a warning chime.
Also, due to sensing limitations, in
certain situations, the front radar
sensor or camera recognition sys -
tem may not detect the vehicle,
pedestrian or cyclist ahead. FCA
system may not activate and the
warning message will not be dis -
played.
FCA system may unnecessarily
produce the warning message
6 54
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) (sensor
and the warning alarms. Also, due
to the sensing limitation, FCA
system may not produce the
warning message and the warn -
ing alarm at all.
When there is a malfunction with
FCA system, the autonomous
emergency braking does not
operate upon detecting a collision
risk even with other braking sys -
tems normally operating.
FCA system operates only for the
vehicle/pedestrian/cyclist in front,
while driving forward. It does not
operate for any animals or vehi -
cles in the opposite direction.
FCA system does not recognize
the vehicle, which horizontally
drives across the crossroad, or
the vehicle, which is parked in the
horizontal direction.
If the vehicle in front stops sud -
denly, 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.
FCA system may activate during
braking and the vehicle may stop
suddenly. And the load in the
vehicle may endanger passengers.
Therefore, always be mindful of
the load volume in the vehicle.
FCA system may not activate if
the driver applies the brake pedal
to avoid risk of collision.
If there is a malfunction with FCA
system, the autonomous emer -
gency braking is not applied even
