WARNING
Take the following precautions when
using Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist:
- 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 illuminates 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.
- 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,
animal, 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.
WARNING
- Even if there is a problem with
Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist, the vehicle’s basic braking
performance will operate properly.
- 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 and pedestrian 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.
Information
- 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 and colors in the cluster
may differ depending on the cluster
type or theme selected from the cluster.
