When the vehicle is stopped due to
emergency braking, the warning message
will appear on the cluster.
For your safety, the driver should
depress the brake pedal immediately
and check the surroundings.
- Brake control will end after the vehicle
is stopped by emergency braking for
approximately 2 seconds.
CAUTION
If the driver's seat is on the left side,
Junction Turning function will operate
only when the driver turns left. If the
driver's seat position is on right side, the

location.
- With Active Assist or Warning Only
selected, when ESC is turned off by
pressing and holding the ESC OFF
button, Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist will turn off automatically. In this case, Forward
Collision-Avoidance
Assist cannot be set from the
Settings menu and the (
)
warning
light will appear on the cluster which
is normal. If ESC is turned on by
pressing the ESC OFF button again,
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
will maintain the last setting.
- Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
does not operate in all situations or
cannot avoid all collisions.
- The driver should hold the responsibility
to control the vehicle. Do not
solely depend on Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist. Rather, maintain a
safe braking distance, and if necessary,
depress the brake pedal to
reduce driving speed or to stop the
vehicle.
- Never deliberately operate Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist on people,
objects, etc. It may cause serious
injury or death.
- Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
may not operate if the driver
depresses the brake pedal to avoid
collision.
- Depending on the road and driving
conditions, Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist may warn the driver late
or may not warn the driver.
- During Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist operation, the vehicle may stop
suddenly injuring passengers and
shifting loose objects. Always have the
seat belt on and keep loose objects
secured.
- If any other function's warning message
is displayed or audible warning
is generated, Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist warning message may not
be displayed and audible warning
may not be generated.
- You may not hear the warning sound
of Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
if the surroundings are noisy.
- Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
may turn off or may not operate properly
or may operate unnecessarily
depending on the road conditions and
the surroundings.
- Even if there is a problem with Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist, the
vehicle's basic braking performance
will operate normally.
- During emergency braking, braking
control by Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist will automatically cancel
when the driver excessively depresses
the accelerator pedal or sharply steers
the vehicle.
CAUTION
- Depending on the condition of the
vehicle, pedestrian and cyclist in front
and the surroundings, the speed
range to operate Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist may reduce. Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist may
only warn the driver, or it may not
operate.
- Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
will operate under certain conditions
by judging the risk level based on the
condition of the oncoming vehicle,
driving direction, speed and surroundings.
NOTICE
- In a situation where collision is imminent,
braking may be assisted by Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist when
braking is insufficient by the driver.
- The images or colors may be displayed
differently depending on the specifications of the
instrument cluster
or theme.
