Hyundai Palisade: Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA)
system / FCA Warning Message and
Brake Control
FCA produces warning messages,
warning alarms, and emergency
braking based on the level of risk of
a frontal collision, such as when a
vehicle ahead suddenly brakes, or
when the system detects that a collision
with a pedestrian is imminent.
Collision Warning (First and second
warning)

- The warning message appears on
the cluster LCD display with a
warning chime.
- Your vehicle speed may decelerate
moderately.
- If FCA detects a vehicle in front,
the system operates when your
vehicle speed is between 5 mph (8
km/h) and 100 mph (160km/h).
Maximum vehicle speed may
decrease depending on the condition
of the vehicle ahead and surroundings.
- If FCA detects a pedestrian in
front, the system operates when
your vehicle speed is between 5
mph (8 km/h) and 55 mph (90
km/h). Maximum vehicle speed
may decrease depending on the
condition of the vehicle ahead and
surroundings.
- If you select 'Warning only' for the
system setting, the FCA system
activates and produces only warning
alarms in accordance with the
collision risk levels. You should
control the brake directly because
the FCA system will not control the
brake.
Emergency Braking
(Third warning)

- The warning message appears on
the cluster LCD display with a
warning chime.
- Additionally, some vehicle system
intervention occurs by the engine
management system to help decelerate
the vehicle.
- The brake control is maximized
just before a collision, reducing
impact when it strikes a forward
vehicle.
- If FCA detects a vehicle in front,
the system operates when your
vehicle speed is above 5 mph (8
km/h) and 50 mph (80 km/h) or
under. Maximum vehicle speed
may decrease depending on the
condition of the vehicle ahead and
surroundings.
- If FCA detects a pedestrian in
front, the system operates when
your vehicle speed is 5 mph (8
km/h) or above and under 45 mph
(70 km/h). Maximum vehicle speed
may decrease depending on the
condition of the vehicle ahead and
surroundings.
- If you select 'Warning only' for the
system setting, the FCA system
activates and produces only warning
alarms in accordance with the
collision risk levels. You should
control the brake directly because
the FCA system do not control the
brake.
Brake operation
- In an urgent situation, the braking
system enters into the ready status
for prompt reaction against the driver’s
depressing the brake pedal.
- The FCA provides additional braking
power for optimum braking performance,
when the driver depresses
the brake pedal.
- The braking control is automatically
deactivated, when the driver
sharply depresses the accelerator
pedal, or when the driver abruptly
operates the steering wheel.
- The FCA braking control is automatically
canceled, when risk factors
disappear.
CAUTION
- The driver should always use
extreme caution while operating
the vehicle, whether or not
there is a warning message or
alarm from the FCA system.
- After the brake control is activated,
the driver must immediately
depress the brake pedal
and check the surroundings.
The brake activation by the
system lasts for about 2 seconds.
- If any other warning sound
such as seat belt warning
chime is already generated,
the Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist (FCA) system
warning may not sound.
- Playing the vehicle audio system
at high volume may prevent
occupants from hearing
the system warning sounds.
WARNING
The FCA braking control cannot
completely stop the vehicle nor
avoid all collisions. The driver
should hold the responsibility
to safely drive and control the
vehicle.
WARNING
The FCA system logic operates
within certain parameters, such
as the distance from the vehicle,
pedestrian ahead, the speed
of the vehicle ahead, and the
driver's vehicle speed. Certain
conditions such as inclement
weather and road conditions
may affect the operation of the
FCA system.
WARNING
Never deliberately drive dangerously
to activate the system.
