CAUTION
 When driving off-road in areas where there is grass or forage, it is recommended that the
Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system be turned off. Always use tires for all wheels that are of the specified size, and the same manufacturer,
brand, and tread pattern. In addition, do not use tires with significantly different wear
patterns on the same vehicle as the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system may not
operate normally.
 The laser sensor (front) includes a function for detecting a soiled windshield and informing
the driver, however, depending on the conditions, it may not detect plastic shopping bags,
ice or snow on the windshield. In such cases, the system cannot accurately determine a
vehicle ahead and may not be able to operate normally. Always drive carefully and pay
attention to the road ahead.
NOTE
 The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system will not operate if the dri\
ver is deliberately
performing driving operations (accelerator pedal and steering wheel). The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system will operate under the foll\
owing conditions.
 The engine is running. The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) warning light (amber) does not i\
lluminate. The vehicle speed is between about 4 to 30 km/h (2 to 18 mph). The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system is not turned off. The DSC operation is not turned off using the DSC OFF switch. The DSC is not malfunctioning.
 The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) detects a vehicle ahead by emittin\
g 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:
 Reflection of the laser is poor due to the shape of the vehicle ahead. The vehicle ahead is significantly dirty. Under bad weather condition, such as rain, fog and snow . The window washer is being used or the windshield wipers ar e not used when it's
raining. The windshield is dirty. The steering wheel is turned completely left or right, or the vehicle is\
accelerated
rapidly and comes close to the vehicle ahead. Trucks with low loading platforms and vehicles with an extremely low or high profile. Vehicles with certain shapes such as a vehicle carrier.

p slowly so that
the distance between the vehicle width lines and the sides of the parkin\
g space on the left
and right are roughly equal.
4. Continue to adjust the steering wheel until the vehicle width guide line\
s are parallel to
the left and right sides of the parking space.

switches while driving the vehicle.
Adjusting the audio while driving
the vehicle is dangerous as it could
distract your attention from the vehicle
operation which could lead to a
serious accident.
Even if the audio control switches are
equipped on the steering wheel, learn
to use the switches without looking
down at them so that you can keep
your maximum attention on the road
while driving the vehicle.

adjust the audio volume to a level that
allows you to hear sounds outside of
the vehicle including car horns and
particularly emergency vehicle sirens.
NOTE
 To prevent the battery from being
discharged, do not leave the audio
system on for a long period of time
when the engine is not running.
 If a cellular phone or CB radio is used
in or near the vehicle, it could cause
noise to occur from the audio system,
however, this does not indicate that the
system has been damaged.
