Hyundai Tucson: Forward Collision–Avoidance Assist (FCA) (Sensor fusion) / Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist Operation

Basic function

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist may warn and brake your vehicle depending on the collision risk level.

Collision Warning

If Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist judges that a collision may occur, the message may appear on the instrument cluster and an audible warning is heard when:

• A vehicle is detected, and your vehicle speed is about 6-112 mph (10-180 km/h).
• A pedestrian or cyclist is detected, and your vehicle speed is about 6-53 mph (10-85 km/h).

Emergency Braking

If Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist judges avoiding a collision may be difficult, it applies higher brake force that may help avoid a collision with the vehicle, pedestrian, or cyclist detected ahead.

The warning message may appear on the instrument cluster and an audible warning is heard when:

• A vehicle is detected, and your vehicle speed is about 6-47 mph (10-75 km/h).
• A pedestrian or cyclist is detected, and your vehicle speed is about 6-40 mph (10-65 km/h).

Stopping vehicle and ending brake control

After your vehicle has stopped following an Emergency Braking event, the "Drive carefully" warning message may appear on the instrument cluster.

Depress the brake pedal immediately and check the surroundings.

• Braking control ends about 2 seconds after your vehicle is stopped following an Emergency Braking event.

Junction Turning function

Junction Turning function provides a warning and assist braking depending on the collision risk level.

Collision Warning

If Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist judges that a collision may occur, the message may appear on the instrument cluster and an audible warning is heard when:

• Your vehicle speed is about 6-19 mph (10-30 km/h) and the oncoming vehicle speed is about 19-44 mph (30- 70 km/h).

Emergency Braking

If Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist judges avoiding a collision may be difficult, it applies higher brake force that may help avoid a collision with the oncoming vehicle detected.

The warning message may appear on the instrument cluster and an audible warning is heard when:

• Your vehicle speed is about 6-19 mph (10-30 km/h) and the oncoming vehicle speed is about 19-44 mph (30- 70 km/h).

Stopping vehicle and ending brake control

After your vehicle has stopped following an Emergency Braking event, the "Drive carefully" warning message may appear on the instrument cluster.

Depress the brake pedal immediately and check the surroundings.

• Braking control ends about 2 seconds after your vehicle is stopped following an Emergency Braking event.

WARNING

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist may not operate in all situations and cannot avoid all collisions.

To prevent serious injury or death:

• Only change the settings after parking your vehicle at a safe location.
• Control your vehicle at all times. Do not depend on Forward Collision- Avoidance Assist to avoid a collision. Always maintain a safe distance from the vehicles ahead and reduce your vehicle speed as needed.
• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist may stop operating, or may not operate, or operate unnecessarily depending on the road conditions and surroundings.
• When Active Assist or Warning Only is selected and ESC is turned off by pressing and holding the ESC OFF button, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist turns off automatically. Then the Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist settings cannot be changed using the settings menu and the warning light illuminates on the instrument cluster. If ESC is turned on again by pressing the ESC OFF button, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist maintains its last setting.
• Never attempt to activate Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist by intentionally driving toward people, animals, objects, or other vehicles.
• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist may not assist braking your vehicle if you depress the brake pedal sufficiently in response to the potential hazard detected by the function to avoid all collisions.
• During Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist operation, your vehicle may stop suddenly. Always wear your seatbelt, check your passengers have their seat belts fastened and secure loose objects that may become projectiles.
• When other system’s warning message appears or audible warning is heard, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist may not warn you.
• You may not hear the audible warning of Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist if the surrounding environment is too noisy.

WARNING

• Even if there is an issue with Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, the vehicle’s braking system operates normally.
• During emergency braking, braking by the Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist automatically cancels if you depress the accelerator pedal or sharply steer your vehicle.
• Depending on the characteristics of the vehicle, pedestrian or cyclist detected, and the surroundings, the speed ranges for Forward Collision- Avoidance Assist may be reduced. It may NOT brake your vehicle to avoid a collision or only warn you that a collision may occur.
• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist operates only under certain conditions that determines the risk level:
  - Condition of other vehicles
  - The direction vehicles are driven
  - Vehicle speed
  - Surroundings
• Depending on the detection range, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist may only warn you or mitigate the collision impact.

Information

• When a collision is imminent, braking may be assisted if you depress the brake pedal insufficiently.
• The images and colors in the instrument cluster may differ depending on the cluster type or theme selected from the settings menu.
