Lane-keep Assist System(LAS)
*
▼Lane-keep Assist System (LAS)
The LAS provides steering assistance to
help the driver stay within the vehicle lane
if the vehicle might be deviating.
The forward sensing camera (FSC) detects
the white lines (ye
llow lines) of the
vehicle lane in which the vehicle is
traveling and if the system determines that
the vehicle may deviate from its lane, it
operates the electri c power steering to
assist the driver’s steering operation. The
system also alerts the driver by displaying
an alert on the mult i-information display
or the active driving display
*. Use the
system when you drive the vehicle on
roads with white (ye llow) lines such as
expressways and highways.
1. Forward sensing camera (FSC)
WA R N I N G
Do not rely completely on the LAS:
 The LAS is not an automated 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 functions of the LAS have limitations.
Always stay on course using the steering
wheel and drive with care.
 Do not use the LAS under the following
circumstances, otherwise it may result in
an accident.
 The vehicle is driven on slippery roads
such as icy or snow-covered roads, and
unpaved roads.

Smart Brake Support
(SBS)
*
▼Smart Brake Support (SBS)
The SBS alerts the driver of a possible
collision using the wa
rning indications in
the display and a warning sound if the
front radar sensor and Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC) determine that there is the
possibility of a collision with a vehicle
ahead, pedestrian, or a bicycle.
Furthermore, if a collision is unavoidable,
the automatic brake control is performed
to reduce damage in the event of a
collision. In addition, when the driver
depresses the brake pe dal, the brakes are
applied firmly and quickly to assist.
(Vehicles with Driver Monitoring (DM))
When the SBS determines that the driver
is not paying attention to the road using
the driver monitoring camera and it
determines that there is the possibility of a
collision with an obs truction, the SBS
activates the collision warning earlier than
normal.
WA R N I N G
Do not rely completely on the SBS.
The SBS is only designed to reduce damage
in the event of a collision.
The ability to detect obstructions is limited
depending on the obstructions, weather
conditions, or traffic conditions. Over
reliance on the system leading to the
accelerator pedal or brake pedal being
mistakenly operated could result in an
accident.

Smart Brake Support[Rear Crossing]
(SBS-RC)
*
▼ Smart Brake Support [Rear
Crossing] (SBS-RC)
The SBS-RC is a system designed to assist
the driver in avoiding collisions and to
reduce damage in the event of a collision
by applying the brakes if there is the
possibility of collision with a vehicle
approaching from the
rear while you are
reversing out of parking space.
The SBS-RC system detects vehicles
approaching from the rear left and right
sides of the vehicle, and the rear of the
vehicle while the vehicle is being reversed
out of a parking space, the system reduces
damage in the event of a collision by
operating the brake control when the
system determines that a collision is
unavoidable.
SBS-RC operation
1. The SBS-RC system operates when the
shift lever (manual transmission) or the
selector lever (auto matic transmission)
is shifted to the reverse (R) position.
2. If there is the poss ibility of a collision
with an approaching vehicle, the
SBS-RC system applies brake and
displays “BRAKE!” on the active
driving display and the
multi-information display.
WA R N I N G
Always check the surrounding area visually
before actually putting the vehicle in
reverse:
The system is only designed to assist you in
backing out of the lot when putting the
vehicle in reverse. Due to certain limitations
with the operation of this system, the
SBS-RC system may not operate brake or it
might be delayed even though a vehicle is
behind your vehicle. Always make it your
responsibility as a driver to check the rear.
Do not rely completely on the SBS-RC
system:
 The SBS-RC 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.
 The SBS-RC system operates in response
to a vehicle. The system does not operate
in response to obstructions such as a
wall, pedestrians, 2-wheeled vehicles, or
animals.

WA R N I N G
Always confirm the safety of the area
around the vehicle with the mirrors and
directly with your eyes when driving.
The 360°View Monitor is an auxiliary device
which assists the driver in checking the
safety of the area around the vehicle.
The shooting range of the cameras and
detection range of the sensors are limited.
For example, the areas in black at the front
and rear of the vehicle image and the
seams where each of the camera images
merge are blind spots where an obstruction
may not be visible. In addition, the
extended vehicle widt h lines and projected
vehicle path lines are only to be used as
references, and the images on the screen
may differ from the actual conditions.
CAUTION
 Do not use the 360°View Monitor under
any of the following conditions.
