NOTICE

For more details on warning messages, refer to Collision Warning in "Basic Function" More Details.

WARNING
  • For your safety, change the Settings after parking the vehicle at a safe 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 illuminate 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 system'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 surrounding is 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 or due to reduction of the range to detect, 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.

  • If your driving speed is too high or the speed difference with the other vehicle is large, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist may be limited or may not work.

  • When a collision with a surrounding vehicle is expected, Lane-Change Oncoming, Lane-Change Side and Evasive Steering Assist functions will only warn the driver. (if equipped)

NOTICE
  • When a collision is imminent, the Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist may assist the driver with brakes if the driver fails to brake enough.

  • The images or colors may be displayed differently depending on the specifications of the instrument cluster or theme.
