Limitations Of The System - Hyundai KONA Owner's Manual

WARNING
• 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 opposite lane.
• The FCA system does not detect
cross traffic vehicles that are
approaching.
• The FCA system cannot detect
vehicles that are stopped vertically
to your vehicle at a intersection or
dead end street.
• The FCA system cannot detect
the cross traffic cyclist that are
approaching.
In these cases, 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 distance or to stop the vehicle.

Limitations of the system

The Forward Collision avoidance assist
(FCA) system is designed to monitor the
vehicle ahead or a pedestrian or cyclist (if
equipped) in the roadway through radar
signals and camera recognition to warn
the driver that a collision is imminent,
and if necessary, apply emergency
braking.
In certain situations, the radar sensor or
the camera may not be able to detect
the vehicle, pedestrian or cyclist (if
equipped) ahead. In these cases, the
FCA system may not operate normally.
The driver must pay careful attention in
the following situations where the FCA
operation may be limited.
Detecting vehicles
The sensor may be limited when:
• The system may not operate for 15
seconds after the vehicle is started or
the camera is initialized
• The radar sensor or camera is covered
with a foreign 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
electromagnetic waves
• There is severe irregular reflection
from the radar sensor
• The radar/camera sensor recognition
is limited
• The vehicle in front is too small to be
detected (for example a motorcycle
etc.)
• The vehicle in front is an oversize
vehicle or trailer that is too big to be
detected by the camera recognition
system (for example a tractor trailer,
etc.)
• The camera's field of view is not well
illuminated (either too dark or too
much reflection or too much backlight
that obscures the field of view)
• The vehicle in front does not have
their rear lights or their rear lights
does not turned ON or their rear lights
are located unusually
• The outside brightness changes
suddenly, for example when entering
or exiting a tunnel
• Light coming from a street light or an
oncoming vehicle is reflected on a wet
road surface such as a puddle in the
road
