When Driving
Smart Brake Support (SBS)
Smart Brake Support (SBS) is a system which alerts the driver of a possible
collision using an indicator and warning sound in the instrument cluster while the
vehicle is being driven at about 15 km/h or faster (10 mph or faster) and the
system's radar sensor (front) determines that your vehicle may hit a vehicle ahead.
Furthermore, if the radar sensor (front) determines that a collision is unavoidable,
the automatic brake control is performed to reduce damage in the event of a
collision.
For details, refer to Section 4, “Smart Brake Support (SBS)”.
Do not rely completely on the Smart Brake Support (SBS) system and always
drive carefully:
Smart Brake Support (SBS) is only designed to reduce damage in the event of a
collision. 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.

When Driving
Diesel Particulate Filter
The diesel particulate filter collects and eliminates most of the particulate matter
(PM) in the exhaust gas of the diesel engine for improved exhaust gas processing
ability.
While the particulate matter (PM) collected in the diesel particulate filter is
eliminated automatically, fuel may be mixed with the engine oil increasing the
engine oil level. If the engine oil level exceeds the “X” mark on the dipstick,
replace the engine oil.
For details, refer to Section 4, “Tyre Pressure Monitoring System” or
“Diesel Particulate Filter”.
The Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) monitors the air pressure of all
four tyres. If the air pressure of one or more tyres is too low, the system warns the
driver by indicating the tyre pressure monitoring system warning light in the
instrument cluster and operating a beep sound.
In the following cases, system initialization must be performed so that the system
operates normally.
• A tyre pressure is adjusted.
• Tyre rotation is performed.
• A tyre or wheel is replaced.
• The battery is replaced or completely drained.
• The tyre pressure monitoring system warning
light is illuminated.
