Driver assistance system
śꢀ Depending on the road and driving
conditions, Forward Collision-
WARNING
Avoidance Assist may warn the driver
late or may not warn the driver.
Take the following precautions when
using Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist:
śꢀ For your safety, change the Settings
after parking the vehicle at a safe
location.
śꢀ 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, the function cannot be
set from the Settings menu and the
warning light will illuminate on
the cluster which is normal. If ESC is
turned on by pressing the ESC OFF
button, Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist will maintain the last setting.
śꢀ 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.
śꢀ 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.
śꢀ You may not hear the warning sound
of Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
if the surrounding is noisy.
śꢀ Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
does not operate in all situations or
cannot avoid all collisions.
śꢀ Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist may turn off or may not
operate properly or may operate
unnecessarily depending on the road
conditions and the surroundings.
śꢀ 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.
WARNING
śꢀ Even if there is a problem with
Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist, the vehicle’s basic braking
performance will operate normally.

Collision-Avoidance Assist on people,
animal, objects, etc. It may cause
serious injury or death.
śꢀ Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist may not operate if the driver
depresses the brake pedal to avoid
collision.

braking control by the function will
automatically cancel when the driver
excessively depresses the accelerator
pedal or sharply steers the vehicle.
