What is Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist?
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist is a safety system comprised of an advanced suite of camera and radar sensors. It is used to prevent accidents and collisions by scanning for potential pedestrians, cyclists, or other vehicles ahead of you. Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist is part of the Hyundai SmartSense safety suite.
How Does Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist Work?
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist scans for and detects vehicles or pedestrians in front of you using advanced radar and camera technology. If it senses a potential threat or obstacle, it will alert you with a warning. It may also, in some instances, instantaneously apply your brakes in order to avoid a potential collision.
In short, it scans and determines the distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you and will alert you to any imminent collisions to mitigate the possibility of an accident.
Activating Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
To activate your Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist system, simply navigate to your settings menu. Select "Driver Assistance" or a related option. Then, ensure that "Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist" is toggled to the "on" position.
Adjusting Sensitivity and Alerts
Your vehicle may allow for the customization of alert sensitivity. As a result, you can determine within your settings menu the degree or level of intensity you'd like your FCA system to function. You can also adjust how soon it alerts you of potential crashes.
