Sensors

FCA Sensor (Front Radar/Front View Camera)

In order for the FCA system to operate properly, always make sure the sensor cover or sensor is clean and free of dirt, snow, and debris.
Dirt, snow, or foreign substances on the sensor cover or sensor may adversely affect the sensing performance of the sensor.

NOTICE

Do not apply license plate frame or foreign objects such as a bumper sticker or a bumper guard near the sensor. Doing so may adversely affect the sensing performance of the radar. Always keep the sensor and cover clean and free of dirt and debris.

• Use only a soft cloth to wash the vehicle. Do not spray pressurized water directly on the sensor or sensor cover.
• Be careful not to apply unnecessary force on the sensor or sensor cover. If the sensor is forcibly moved out of proper alignment, the FCA system may not operate correctly. In this case, a warning message may not be displayed. Have the vehicle inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
• If the front bumper becomes damaged in the area around the sensor, the FCA system may not operate properly. Have the vehicle inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
• Use only genuine HYUNDAI parts to repair or replace a dam-aged sensor or sensor cover. Do not apply paint to the sensor cover.

NOTICE

• NEVER install any accessories or stickers on the front wind-shield, nor tint the front wind-shield.
• NEVER locate any reflective objects (for example, white paper, mirror) over the dash-board. Any light reflection may cause a malfunction of the system.
• Pay extreme caution to keep the camera out of water.
• NEVER disassemble the camera assembly, nor apply any impact on the camera assembly.
• Playing the vehicle audio system at high volume may offset the system warning sounds.

Detecting vehicles
The sensor may be limited when:

• The radar sensor or camera is blocked with a foreign object or debris
• Inclement weather such as heavy rain or snow obscures the field of view of the radar sensor or camera
• There is interference by electro-magnetic waves
• The vehicle is on unpaved or uneven rough surfaces, or road with sudden gradient changes.
• The vehicle drives through a construction area, on an unpaved road, or above metal materials, such as a railway
• The vehicle in front is too small to be detected (for example a motor-cycle or a bicycle, etc.)
• The camera’s field of view is not well illuminated (either too dark or too much reflection or too much backlight that obscures the field of view)
• The camera does not recognize the entire vehicle in front.
• The vehicle in front is an oversize vehicle or trailer that is too big to be detected by the camera recognition system (for example a tractor trailer, etc.)
• The vehicle in front does not have rear lights or the rear lights are not turned ON or the rear lights are located unusually.
• The outside brightness changes suddenly, for example when entering or exiting a tunnel
• The vehicle drives inside a building, such as a basement parking lot
• The adverse road conditions cause excessive vehicle vibrations while driving
• You are on a roundabout and the vehicle in front circles
• The camera lens is contaminated due to tinted, filmed or coated windshield, damaged glass, or stuck of foreign matter (sticker, bug, etc.) on the glass
• The camera is damaged.
• The brightness outside is too low such as when the headlights are not on at night or the vehicle is going through a tunnel.
• Light coming from a street light or an oncoming vehicle is reflected on a wet road surface such as a puddle in the road
• The field of view in front is obstructed by sun glare
• The shadow is on the road by a median strip, trees, etc.
• The vehicle drives through a toll-gate.
• The windshield glass is fogged up; a clear view of the road is obstructed
• The radar/camera sensor recognition is limited
• The rear part of the vehicle in front is not normally visible (for example, the vehicle is spinning or the vehicle is overturned)
• There is severe irregular reflection from the radar sensor
• The sensor recognition changes suddenly when passing over a speed bump
• The vehicle in front is driving erratically
• The vehicle in front is moving vertically to the driving direction
• The vehicle in front is stopped vertically
• The vehicle in front is driving towards your vehicle or reversing
• You are on a roundabout and the vehicle in front circles.

• Driving on a curve
  • The performance of Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist system may be limited when driving on a curved road.
  • The front camera or radar sensor recognition system may not detect the vehicle, pedestrian or cyclist traveling in front on a curved road.
  • This may result in no alarm and braking when necessary.
  • Always pay attention to road and driving conditions, and if necessary, depress the brake pedal to reduce your driving speed in order to maintain a safe distance.

• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist system may recognize in the next lane or outside the lane when driving on a curved road.
• If this occurs, the system may unnecessarily alarm the driver and apply the brake.
• Always pay attention to road and driving conditions, while driving.

• Driving on a slope
  • The performance of Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist system may be decreased while driving upward or downward on a slope. The front camera or front radar sensor
  • recognition may not detect the vehicle, pedestrian or cyclist in front.
  • This may result in unnecessary alarm and braking or no alarm and braking when necessary.
  • When the system suddenly recognizes the vehicle, pedestrian or cyclist in front while passing over a slope, you may experience sharp deceleration.

Always keep your eyes forward while driving upward or downward on a slope and if necessary depress the brake pedal to reduce your driving speed in order to maintain distance.

• Changing lanes
  • When a vehicle changes lanes in front of you, the FCA system may not immediately detect the vehicle, especially if the vehicle changes lanes abruptly. In this case, you must main-tain a safe braking distance, and if necessary, depress the brake pedal to reduce your driving speed in order to maintain a safe distance.

When driving in stop-and-go traffic, and a stopped vehicle in front of you merges out of the lane, the FCA system may not immediately detect the new vehicle that is now in front of you. In this case, you must maintain a safe braking distance, and if necessary, depress the brake pedal to reduce your driving speed in order to maintain a safe distance.

• Detecting the vehicle in front of you
  • If the vehicle in front of you has cargo that extends rearward from the cab, or when the vehicle in front of you has higher ground clearance, additional special attention is required.
  • The FCA system may not be able to detect the cargo extending from the vehicle. In these instances, you must maintain a safe braking distance from the rearmost object, and if necessary, depress the brake pedal to reduce your driving speed in order to maintain distance.

Detecting pedestrians or cyclists
The sensor may be limited when

• The pedestrian or cyclist is not fully detected by the camera recognition system, for example, if the pedestrian is leaning over or is not fully walking upright
• The pedestrian or cyclist is moving very quickly or appears abruptly in the camera detection area
• The pedestrian or cyclist is wearing clothing that easily blends into the background, making it difficult to be detected by the camera recognition system
• The outside lighting is too bright (for example, when driving in bright sunlight or in sun glare) or too dark (for example, when driving on a dark rural road at night)
• It is difficult to detect and distinguish the pedestrian or cyclist from other objects in the surroundings, for example, when there is a group of pedestrians, cyclist or a large crowd
• There is an item similar to a per-son’s body structure
• The pedestrian or cyclist is small
• The pedestrian has impaired mobility
• The sensor recognition is limited
• The radar sensor or camera is blocked with a foreign object or debris
• Inclement weather such as heavy rain or snow obscures the field of view of the radar sensor or camera When light coming from a street light or an oncoming vehicle is reflected on a
• wet road surface such as a puddle in the road
• The field of view in front is obstructed by sun glare
• The windshield glass is fogged up; a clear view of the road is obstruct-ed
• The adverse road conditions cause excessive vehicle vibrations while driving
• When the pedestrian or cyclist suddenly interrupts in front of the vehicle
• When the cyclist in front is riding intersected with the driving direc-tion
• When there is any other electro-magnetic interference
• When the construction area, rail or other metal object is near the cyclist
• If the bicycle material is not reflect-ed well on the radar
