Smart Brake Support(SBS)
*
▼Smart Brake Support (SBS)
The SBS is a system designed to detect
target objects using sensors and
cameras equipped on the vehicle, and
to reduce damage in the event of a
collision by operating the brake control
if there is the possibi
lity of your vehicle
colliding with a target object.
One part of the SBS functions when
you are driving forward and the other
part functions when you are driving in
reverse.
Refer to Forward drive detection on
page 4-156.
Refer to Reverse drive detection on
page 4-158.
▼ Forward drive detection
When you are driving forward, the
following functions of the Smart Brake
Support (SBS) operate.
Forward detection function
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the
SBS:
The SBS is only designed to reduce
damage in the event of a collision.
The system may not operate normally
depending on the target object,
weather conditions, or traffic
conditions. Over reliance on the
system leading to the accelerator pedal
or brake pedal being mistakenly
operated could result in an accident.
CAUTION
In the following cases, turn the SBS off
to prevent a mis-operation.
 The vehicle is being towed or towing
another vehicle.
 The vehicle is driven on rough roads
such as in areas where there is grass
and foliage or off-road.
Refer to Stopping the Smart Brake
Support (SBS) System Operation on
page 4-163.
Forward detection function
The forward detection function is
designed to reduce damage in the
event of a collision with target objects
at the front.
The forward detection function detects
target objects (vehicles ahead,
pedestrians, and bicycles) using the
front radar sensor and the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC). If there is a
possibility of your vehicle colliding with
a target object at the front, you are
notified of possible danger by a
warning sound and a warning
indication on the display.
Furthermore, if the possibility of a
collision increases, the brake control is
performed to reduce damage in the
event of a collision. In addition, when
the driver depresses the brake pedal,
the brakes are applied firmly and
quickly to assist.

(Vehicles with Driver Monitoring
(DM))
If the system determines that the driver
is not paying attention to the road, it
activates the collision warning earlier
than normal.
Operation conditions
The forward detection function
operates when all of the following
conditions are met.
The ignition is switched ON.The SBS is on.(Object is vehicle ahead)

machines, or tunnels.
A towing bar is installed or a trailer
is connected.
If the vehicle is stopped by the SBS
brake operation and the brake pedal
is not depressed, the SBS brake is
automatically released after about 2
seconds.
Collision warning
If there is the possibility of your vehicle
colliding with a vehicle approaching
from the rear on the left or right, or
from the rear while you are driving in
reverse, a warning sound is activated
continuously and a warning is
displayed on the multi-information
display and the active driving display.
