Advanced Smart City Brake Support (Advanced SCBS) (Except The
Philippines, Taiwan)
The Smart City Brake Support [Reverse] (SCBS R) is a system which is designed to reduce
damage in the event of a collision by operating the brake control (SCBS brake) when the
system’s ultrasonic sensors detect an obstruction at the rear of the vehicle while driving at a
speed of about 2 to 8 km/h (2 to 4 mph) and the system determines that a collision is
unavoidable. In addition, when the driver depresses the brake pedal while the system is in
the operation range at a vehicle speed of about 2 to 8 km/h (2 to 4 mph), the brakes are
applied firmly and quickly to provide assistance. (Brake Assist (SCBS brake assist))
Smart City Brake Support [Reverse] (SCBS R)
The Advanced Smart City Brake Support (Advanced SCBS) alerts the driver of a possible
collision using the display and a warning sound when the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) detects
a vehicle ahead or pedestrian and determines that a collision with the object is unavoidable while
the vehicle is driven at a vehicle speed of about 4 to 80 km/h (2 to 50 mph) if the object is a
vehicle ahead and about 10 to 80 km/h (6.2 to 50 mph) if the object is a pedestrian.
Smart City Brake Support [Forward] (SCBS F) (The Philippines, Taiwan)
The Smart City Brake Support [Forward] (SCBS F) system alerts the driver of a possible
collision using an indication in the display and a warning sound when the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC) detects a vehicle ahead and determines that a collision with a
vehicle ahead is unavoidable while the vehicle is being driven at a vehicle speed of about
4 to 80 km/h (2 to 50 mph). In addition, the system reduces damage in the event of a
collision by operating the brake control (SCBS brake) when the system determines that a
collision is unavoidable while the vehicle is being driven at a vehicle speed of about 4 to
30 km/h (2 to 18 mph). It may also be possible to avoid a collision if the relative speed
between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you is less than about 20 km/h (12 mph).
• The system is only designed to reduce damage in the event of a collision. Over reliance
on the system leading to the accelerator pedal or brake pedal being mistakenly
operated could result in an accident.
• (Advanced Smart City Brake Support (Advanced SCBS)) Do not rely completely on the system:
WARNING
The Advanced Smart City Brake Support (Advanced SCBS) system operates
in response to a vehicle ahead or a pedestrian. The system does not operate
in response to obstructions such as a wall, 2-wheeled vehicles, or animals.
• (Smart City Brake Support [Forward] (SCBS F))
The Advanced Smart City Brake Support (Advanced SCBS) is a system

Smart Brake Support (SBS)
The Smart Brake Support (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 faster). 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.
Do not rely completely on the Smart Brake Support (SBS) system and always
drive carefully:
The Smart Brake Support (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.
WARNING
In addition, when the driver depresses the brake pedal, the brakes are applied
firmly and quickly to assist. (Brake Assist (SBS brake assist)).

Diesel Particulate Filter
The diesel particulate filter collects and removes most of the particulate matter
(PM) in the exhaust gas of a diesel engine.
• If the vehicle is driven at 15 km/h (9 mph) or less continuously.
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.
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
PM collected by the diesel particulate filter is cleared during normal driving,
however, PM may not be removed and the diesel particulate filter indicator light
may illuminate under the following conditions:
• If the vehicle is repeatedly driven for a short period of time (10 minute or less)
or driven while the engine is cold.
• If the vehicle is idled for a long time.
