When Driving

Smart City Brake Support (SCBS)
The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system is designed to reduce damage in the
event of a collision by operating the brake control (SCBS brake) when the
system's laser sensor (front) detects a vehicle ahead and determines that a collision
with the vehicle ahead is unavoidable.
For details, refer to Section 4, “Smart City Brake Support (SCBS)”.
It may also be possible to avoid a collision if the relative speed between your
vehicle and the vehicle ahead is less than about 15 km/h (9.3 mph).
Do not rely completely on the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system:
The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) is a system which operates in response to a
vehicle ahead. It does not apply to 2-wheeled vehicles or pedestrians.
If the vehicle height or inclination is changed, the system will not be able to
correctly detect vehicles ahead resulting in the Smart City Brake Support
(SCBS) system not operating normally or mistakenly operating, which
could cause a serious accident.
WARNING
Do not modify the suspension:
NOTE
The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) detects a vehicle ahead by emitting a
near-infrared laser beam and receiving the beam reflected off the reflector of the
vehicle ahead, and then using it for the measurement. Consequently, the Smart
City Brake Support (SCBS) may not operate under the following conditions:
• Trucks with low loading platforms and vehicles with an extremely low or
high profile.
• Under bad weather condition, such as rain, fog and snow.
• The window washer is being used or the windscreen wipers are not used when
its raining.
• The windscreen is dirty.
• The steering wheel is turned completely left or right, or the vehicle is
accelerated rapidly and comes close to the vehicle ahead.
Other details are described in the related text.
