  • Collision warning

  • Emergency braking

  • Stopping vehicle and ending brake control

Collision warning

Collision warning will alert the driver with a forward safety warning light , a warning message and an audible warning. Collision Warning will be activated in your driving speed and the following conditions.

  • For vehicle: 10~180 km/h (6~112 mph)

  • For pedestrian or cyclist: 10~80 km/h (6~49 mph)

Emergency braking

The brake assist will be activated and it helps avoiding collision of a vehicle, pedestrian and cyclist. Emergency braking will be activated in your driving speed and the following conditions.

  • For vehicle: 10~60 km/h (6~37 mph)

  • For pedestrian or cyclist: 10~60 km/h (6~37 mph)

CAUTION

The function operation range may decrease due to the front traffic condition or the surroundings of the vehicle.

Stopping vehicle and ending brake control

When the vehicle is stopped due to Emergency Braking, the 'Drive carefully' warning message will appear on the cluster.

For your safety, the driver should depress the brake pedal immediately and check the surroundings.

  • Brake control will end after the vehicle is stopped by emergency braking for approximately 2 seconds.

WARNING

  • For your safety, only change the settings after parking the vehicle at a safe location.

  • 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.

  • Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist does not operate in all situations. Even if the function operates, the vehicle may not avoid all collisions.

  • Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist may turn off or may not operate properly or may operate unnecessarily depending on the road conditions, the surroundings and the driving conditions. Please be aware of the surrounding in all situations and drive safely.

  • Never deliberately test 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 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.

  • 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 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

  • The surroundings and pedestrians, cyclists or other vehicles in front of you may affect the speed or detection range to operate Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, resulting in Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist temporarily limited or disabled.

  • Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist will operate under certain conditions by determining the risk level depending on the surroundings and other vehicles’ driving directions or speed.

  • Driving at excessively higher or lower speed than other vehicles can temporarily limit or disable Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist.

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 and colours in the instrument cluster may differ depending on the cluster type or theme selected from the settings menu.
