Do not apply a strong force to an ultrasonic sensor (rear):
When washing the vehicle, do not spray highly pressurised water against an ultrasonic sensor
(rear), or rub it strongly. In addition, do not hit the rear bumper forcefully when loading and
unloading cargo Otherwise, the sensors may not detect obstructions correctly which could
cause the SCBS R system to not operate normally, or it could operate unnecessarily.

¾When driving
off-road in areas where there is grass or foliage, it is recommended that the
SCBS R system be turned off.
¾Always use tyres of the specified size and the same manufacturer, brand, and tread pattern
on all 4 wheels. In addition, do not use tyres with significantly different wear patterns on the
same vehicle. Otherwise, the SCBS R system may not operate normally.
¾If ice or snow is stuck on the ultrasonic sensors (rear) they may not be able to detect
obstructions correctly depending on the conditions. In such cases, the system may not be
able to perform controls correctly. Always drive carefully and pay attention to the rear of
the vehicle.
NOTE
xThe vehicle posture changes depending on the accelerator pedal, brake pedal and
steering wheel operations, which could make it difficult for the system to recognise an
obstruction, or it could facilitate unnecessary detection. In such cases, the SCBS R may or
may not operate.
xThe SCBS R system will operate under the following conditions.
xThe engine is running.
xThe change lever (manual transaxle vehicle) or the selector lever (automatic transaxle
vehicle) is in the R (reverse) position.
x“Smart City Brake Support Reverse Malfunction” is not displayed in the
multi-information display.
xThe vehicle speed is between about 2 to 8 km/h (2 to 4 mph).
xThe SCBS R is not turned off.
xThe DSC is not malfunctioning.
xThe SCBS R operates using ultrasonic sensors (rear) which detect obstructions at the rear
by emitting ultrasonic waves and then receiving the returning waves reflected off the
obstructions.
xIn the following cases, the ultrasonic sensors (rear) cannot detect obstructions and the
SCBS R may not operate.
xThe height of the obstruction is low such as low walls or trucks with low loading
platforms.

Do not rely completely on the SBS system
and always drive carefully:
The SBS is designed to reduce damage in
the event of a collision, not avoid an
accident. The ability to detect an
obstruction is limited depending on the
obstruction, weather conditions, or traffic
conditions. Therefore, if the accelerator
pedal or brake pedal is mistakenly
operated it could result in an accident.
Always verify the safety of the surrounding
area and depress the brake pedal or
accelerator pedal while keeping a safer
distance from vehicles ahead or on-coming
vehicles.
& $ 8 7 , 2 1
In the following cases, turn the system off
to prevent a mis-operation:
¾The vehicle is being towed or when
towing another vehicle.
¾The vehicle is on a chassis roller.
¾When driving on rough roads such as in
areas of dense grass or off-road.
