• Trucks with low loading platforms and vehicles with an extremely low or
high profile.
Smart City Brake Support [Forward] (SCBS F)/Smart City Brake Support [Reverse] (SCBS R)
The Smart City Brake Support [Forward] (SCBS F) 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 [Forward] (SCBS F) may not
operate under the following conditions:

Under bad weather condition, such as rain, fog and snow.
• The window washer is being used or the windscreen wipers are not used
when it's 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.
• (Smart City Brake Support [Reverse] (SCBS R))
• The obstruction is small.
The Smart City Brake Support [Reverse] (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.

The obstruction is thin such as a signpost.
• The obstruction is soft such as a hanging curtain or snow stuck to a vehicle.
• The obstruction is shaped irregularly.
• The surface of the obstruction is not pointed vertically relative to the vehicle.
In the following cases, the ultrasonic sensors (rear) cannot detect obstructions
and the Smart City Brake Support [Reverse] (SCBS R) may not operate.

The obstruction is positioned away from the centre of the vehicle.
• Something is stuck on the bumper near an ultrasonic sensor (rear).
• When travelling near objects such as foliage, barriers, vehicles, walls, and
fences along a road.
• When driving off-road in areas where there is grass and forage.
