Hyundai i-30: Forward collision-avoidance assist (FCA) system - sensor fusion type (front radar + front camera) / System setting and activation

System setting

• The driver can activate the FCA by placing the ignition switch to the ON position and by selecting: "User Settings → Driver Assistance → FCA (Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist)"

The FCA deactivates, when the driver cancels the system setting.

The warning light illuminates on the LCD display, when you cancel the FCA system. The driver can monitor the FCA ON/OFF status on the LCD display. Also, the warning light illuminates when the ESC (Electronic Stability Control) is turned off. If the warning light remains ON when the FCA is activated, we recommend that you have the system checked by a HYUNDAI authorised repairer.

• The driver can select the initial warning activation time on the LCD display.

Go to the 'User Settings → Driver Assistance → Forward Collision Warning → Late/Normal/Early'.

The options for the initial Forward Collision Warning includes the following:

- Late:

When this condition is selected, the initial Forward Collision Warning is activated later than normal. This setting reduces the amount of distance between the vehicle or pedestrian ahead before the initial warning occurs.

Select 'Late' when traffic is light and when driving speed is slow.

- Normal:

When this condition is selected, the initial Forward Collision Warning is activated normally. This setting allows for a nominal amount of distance between the vehicle or pedestrian ahead before the initial warning occurs.

- Early:

When this condition is selected, the initial Forward Collision Warning is activated earlier than normal. This setting maximises the amount of distance between the vehicle or pedestrian ahead before the initial warning occurs.

Even though, 'Early' is selected if the front vehicle suddenly stops the initial warning activation time may not seem fast.

Prerequisite for activation

The FCA gets ready to be activated, when the FCA is selected on the LCD display, and when the following prerequisites are satisfied.

- The ESC (Electronic Stability Control) is on.
- Vehicle speed is over 6 mph (10 km/h). (The FCA is only activated within a certain speed range.)
- The system detects a pedestrian or a vehicle in front, which may collide with your vehicle. (The FCA may not be activated or may sound a warning alarm in accordance with the driving situation or vehicle condition.)

❈ The FCA may not operate properly according to the frontal situation, the direction of pedestrian and speed.

WARNING

• Completely stop the vehicle on a safe location before operating the switch on the steering wheel to activate/ deactivate the FCA system.
• The FCA automatically activates upon placing the Engine Start/Stop button to the ON position. The driver can deactivate the FCA by canceling the system setting on the LCD display.
• The FCA automatically deactivates upon canceling the ESC (Electronic Stability Control). When the ESC is cancelled, the FCA cannot be activated on the LCD display. The FCA warning light will illuminate which is normal.
