Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist settings

Forward Safety

With the engine on, select Settings > Vehicle > Driver assistance > Driving safety from the settings menu in the infotainment system to set whether to use each function.

If “Forward safety” is selected, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist will warn the driver with a warning message, an audible warning depending on the collision risk levels. Braking assist will be applied depending on the collision risk levels. If “Forward safety” is deselected, Forward Safety will turn off and the warning light illuminates on the instrument cluster.

When the engine is restarted, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist will always turn on. However, if “Forward safety” is deselected, the driver should always be aware of the surroundings and drive safely.

The setting for Forward Safety includes “Basic function”, “Junction Turning” and “Direct Oncoming” .

Driving Safety systems include Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist, and Driver Attention Warning.

Forward Safety Warning Timing

With the engine on, select Settings > Vehicle > Driver assistance > Driving safety > Forward Safety Warning Timing from the settings menu in the infotainment system to change the initial warning activation time for Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist. The warning time can be set to either “Normal” or “Late”

Use “Normal” in normal driving conditions. If the Warning Timing seems sensitive, change it to “Late”.
- If “Late” is selected, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, warns the driver more slowly.

Even though “Normal” is selected for Warning Timing, if the front vehicle suddenly stops, the warning may seem late.
Select “Late” for Warning Timing when traffic is light and when driving speed is slow.

When the engine is restarted, Forward Safety Warning Timing maintains the last setting.

Warning methods

The Warning methods can be set with the engine on.

Warning volume: Select Settings > Vehicle > Driver assistance > Warning methods > Warning volume from the settings menu in the infotainment system to change the warning volume.

If you turn off the Warning volume, for your safety, the function may warn you with a low volume.
Haptic warning: Select Settings > Vehicle > Driver assistance > Warning methods > Haptic warning from the settings menu in the infotainment system to set haptic warning.
Driving safety priority: Select Settings > Vehicle > Driver assistance > Warning methods > Driving safety priority from the settings menu in the infotainment system.

If “Driving safety priority” is selected, the vehicle lowers all other audio volumes when the warning sounds for safe driving.

If you change the Warning methods, the Warning methods of other Driver assistance systems may change.
The Warning volume and Haptic warning cannot be turned off at the same time. When one of the warning is turned off the other is activated.
If the engine is restarted, Warning methods will maintain the previous setting.
The setting menu may not exist depending on the vehicle specification.
