Junction Turning function (if equipped)

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist-Junction Turning function (FCA-JT) is designed to inform you of the risk of collision when your vehicle makes a left turn at a crossroad by sensing a vehicle approaching from the opposite direction through the front camera and radar sensors. FCA displays waning messages, sends an alarm according to the levels of collision risks, and controls brake.

Operating conditions

Junction Turning function operates when Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist is set by selecting “Collision Avoidance Assist” or “Collision Warning” on the instrument cluster or the infotainment system (if equipped) and the following conditions are met.

  • Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is on.

  • A risk of collision with a vehicle approaching from the opposite direction is detected at a crossroad.

  • The turn signal is on.

* For more information about function setting, refer to More Details.

* Junction Turning function may not work or only some warning functions operate depending on conditions, driving direction, and speed of an approaching vehicle.

* When “Collision Warning” is selected, FCA sends only a warning.

WARNING
  • The waning or brake control can be delayed due to unexpected driving patterns of an approaching vehicle. So, as a driver, you must be always careful.

  • Junction Turning function only works when you make a left turn while the left turn signal is on.

  • Junction Turning function works when you make a left turn in a left-hand drive car (or make a right turn in a right-hand drive car.)

  • Junction Turning function senses only a vehicle approaching from a close lane.

WARNING

FCA may not work when you step on the brake pedal to avoid the risk of collision.

Warning and control

Junction Turning function is designed to inform you of the risk of collision when your vehicle makes a left turn at a crossroad by sensing a vehicle approaching from the opposite direction through the front camera and radar. FCA displays waning messages, sends an alarm according to the levels of collision risks, and controls brake.

Forward collision warning (1st warning)

  • The warning message is displayed on the cluster and the alarm sounds at the same time.

  • Your vehicle may slightly decelerate.

  • The function operates when the speed of your vehicle is 30 km/h or less.

  • The function operates when the speed of an approaching vehicle is around 30-70 km/h.

  • The range of the speed that the function can be operated may reduce depending on conditions of an approaching vehicle and surrounding circumstances.

  • When “Collision Warning” is selected in the cluster or the infotainment system (if equipped), the brake control function does not work.

Emergency braking (2nd warning)

  • The warning message is displayed on the cluster and the alarm sounds at the same time.

  • The brake control function operates to the maximum just before a collision, and reduces impact when colliding with another vehicle.

  • The function operates when the speed of your vehicle is about 10-30 km/h.

  • The function operates when the speed of an approaching vehicle is around 30-70 km/h.

  • The range of speed that the function can be operated may reduce depending on conditions of an approaching vehicle and surrounding circumstances.

  • When “Collision Warning” is selected in the cluster or the infotainment system (if equipped), the brake control function does not work.

WARNING

Junction Turning function only senses vehicles, not pedestrians, motorcycles, animals, obstacles, etc.

WARNING

The brake control function does not automatically stop the vehicle or completely avoid collision. As a driver, it is your responsibility to driver safely.

WARNING

Junction Turning function operates by sensing the levels of collision risks, considering conditions, driving directions, speeds and surrounding circumstances of a vehicle approaching from the opposite direction at a crossroad. Do not attempt dangerous driving to operate the function.

Limitations

Junction Turning function assists you by informing the risk of collision with an approaching vehicle when you make a left turn at a crossroad and is not designed to detect all dangerous situations.

Junction Turning function detects a vehicle approaching from the opposite direction at a crossroad through the front camera and radar sensors. So dangers beyond on the performance of the front camera and radar sensors cannot be detected.

Junction Turning function may not properly function and requires caution of the driver in the following situations.

  • The approaching vehicle is detected too late.

  • The approaching vehicle is not detected as it was covered by obstacle(s).

  • The vehicle is not approaching from the left or the right, or the vehicle comes straight ahead.

  • The approaching vehicle suddenly changes the lane or decelerates.

  • The front of an approaching vehicle is out of the sensing range.

  • The speed of the approaching vehicle is too fast or too slow.

  • The headlights of the approaching vehicle are off or asymmetrical.

  • The driver of the approaching vehicle changes the direction to avoid collision.

  • You change suddenly changes the lane at a low speed when there is a vehicle approaching towards you.

  • You steer in the opposite direction to avoid collision.

  • The approaching vehicle stops while you are making a left turn.

  • Your vehicle moves of the lane or returns to the lane.

  • You are driving in an unstable manner.

  • The sensors (front camera and radar sensors) fail to detect an approaching vehicle when you are making a turn.

  • Your vehicle constantly makes a turn.

  • The approaching vehicle is not clearly seen due to low ambient light

  • The approaching vehicle is not recognizable due to adverse weather conditions such as heavy rain or snow.

  • The approaching vehicle is covered with thick layer of snow

  • If another vehicle is approaching in the event of glare caused by sunlight (back-light).

  • The approaching vehicle has an unusual shape.

  • Another vehicle is approaching on a hill or downhill.

  • You decelerate the vehicle to a certain level by stepping on the brake pedal.
