Smart Brake Support
(SBS)
*
The SBS system alerts the driver of a
possible collision using a display and
warning sound if the radar sensor (front)
and the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
determine that there is the possibility of a
collision with a vehicle ahead while the
vehicle is being driven at about 15 km/h or
faster (10 mph or fast er). Furthermore, if
the radar sensor (front) and the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC) determines that a
collision is unavoidable, the automatic
brake control is performed to reduce
damage in the event of a collision.
In addition, when the d river depresses the
brake pedal, the brakes are applied firmly
and quickly to assist. (Brake Assist (SBS
brake assist))
WA R N I N G
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.
