Smart Brake Support
(SBS)
*
▼Smart Brake Support (SBS)
The SBS is a system designed to detect
target objects using sensors and
cameras equipped on the vehicle, and
to reduce damage in the event of a
collision by operating the brake control
if there is the possibility of your vehicle
colliding with a target object.
One part of the SBS functions when
you are driving forward and the other
part functions when you are driving in
reverse.
Refer to Forward drive detection on
page 4-169.
Refer to Reverse drive detection on
page 4-171.
▼Forward drive detection
When you are driving forward, the
following functions of the Smart Brake
Support (SBS) operate.
Forward detection function
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the
SBS:
The SBS is only designed to reduce
damage in the event of a collision.
The system may not operate normally
depending on the target object,
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.
CAUTION
In the following cases, turn the SBS off
to prevent a mis-operation.

The vehicle is being towed or towing
another vehicle.
 The vehicle is driven on rough roads
such as in areas where there is grass
and foliage or off-road.
Refer to Stopping the Smart Brake
Support (SBS) System Operation on
page 4-177.
Forward detection function
The forward detection function is
designed to reduce damage in the
event of a collision with target objects
at the front.
The forward detection function detects
target objects (vehicles ahead,
pedestrians, and bicycles) using the
front radar sensor and the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC). If there is a
possibility of your vehicle colliding with
a target object at the front, you are
notified of possible danger by a
warning sound and a warning
indication on the display.
Furthermore, if the possibility of a
collision increases, the brake control is
performed to reduce damage in the
event of a collision. In addition, when
the driver depresses the brake pedal,
the brakes are applied firmly and
quickly to assist.

(Vehicles with Driver Monitoring
(DM))
If the system determines that the driver
is not paying attention to the road, it
activates the collision warning earlier
than normal.
Operation conditions
The forward detection function
operates when all of the following
conditions are met.
The ignition is switched ON.The SBS is on.(Object is vehicle ahead)
The vehicle speed is about 4 km/h
(3 mph) or higher.
(Object is a pedestrian or bicycle)
The vehicle speed is between about
10 and 80 km/h (6.3 to 49 mph).
The DSC does not operate.
NOTE
When any of the following
conditions is met, the forward
detection function may not operate.
If there is the possibility of hitting
only a part of a vehicle or
obstruction ahead.
You are driving your vehicle at the
same speed as the vehicle ahead.
When the driver deliberately
performs driving operations
(accelerator operation, steering
wheel operation).
The accelerator pedal is depressed
abruptly.
The brake pedal is depressed.The steering wheel is being
operated.
(Automatic transmission)
The selector lever is being shifted.
