Lane-keep Assist System (LAS) & Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS)
The Lane-keep Assist System (LAS) & Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) 
alerts the driver that the vehicle may be deviating from its lane and it provides 
steering assistance to help the driver stay within the vehicle lanes.
For details, refer to Section 4, “i-ACTIVSENSE”.
The steering wheel operation of the Lane-keep Assist System (LAS) & Lane 
Departure Warning System (LDWS) has “Late” and “Early” steering assist timing 
settings.
Do not rely completely on the Lane-keep Assist System (LAS) & Lane 
Departure Warning System (LDWS):
Other details are described in the related text.
WARNING
• The Lane-keep Assist System (LAS) & Lane Departure Warning System 
(LDWS) is not an automatic driving system. In addition, the system is not 
designed to compensate for a driver's lack of caution, and over-reliance 
on the system could lead to an accident.
• The detection ability of the Lane-keep Assist System (LAS) & Lane 
Departure Warning System (LDWS) is limited. Always stay on course 
using the steering wheel and drive with care.
NOTE
The Lane-keep Assist System (LAS) & Lane Departure Warning System 
(LDWS) may not be able to detect white (yellow) lane lines correctly and it 
may not operate normally.
Other details are described in the related text.
“Late” and “Early” timing can be changed (timing at which steering operation 
assist is pro
vided) by changing the setting. Details are described in Setting 
Change (Personalisation Features) in the related text.

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 
which operates in response to a vehicle ahead. The system may not be able 
to detect or react to 2-wheeled vehicles or pedestrians.

When Driving
For details, refer to Section 4, “i-ACTIVSENSE”.
If there is the possibility of a collision with a 
vehicle ahead, the beep sounds continuously and a 
warning is indicated in the active driving display.
Collision Warning
The Smart Brake Support (SBS) system may not operate under the following 
conditions:
•If the vehicle is accelerated rapidly and it comes close to a vehicle ahead.
Although the objects which activate the system are four-wheeled vehicles, the 
radar sensor (front) could detect the following objects, determine them to be an 
obstruction, and operate the Smart Brake Support (SBS) system.
•Objects on the road at the entrance to a curve (including guardrails and 
snow banks).
•The vehicle is driven at the same speed as the vehicle ahead.
•The accelerator pedal is depressed.
•A vehicle appears in the opposite lane while cornering or rounding a curve.
•When crossing a narrow bridge.
•When entering an underground parking area.
•Metal objects, bumps, or protruding objects on the road. NOTE
Smart Brake Support (SBS)
•The brake pedal is depressed.
•The steering wheel is being operated.
•The selector lever is being operated.
• The direction indicator is being used.
• When the vehicle ahead is not equipped with tail lights or the tail lights are 
turned off.
• When warnings and messages, such as a dirty windscreen, related to the 
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) are being displayed in the multi-
information display.
•
When passing under a low gate or through a tunnel or narrow gate.
•If you suddenly come close to a vehicle ahead.
•When driving in areas where there is high grass or forage.
•Two-wheeled vehicles such as motorbikes or bicycles.
•Pedestrians or non-metallic objects such as standing trees.

When Driving
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.
