*Some models.
Smart City Brake Support (SCBS)*
The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system alerts the driver of a possible collision using
an indication in the display and a warning sound when the Forward Sensin\
g Camera (FSC)
detects a vehicle ahead and determines that a collision with a vehicle a\
head 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 op\
erating 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 vehi\
cle and the vehicle in
front of you is less than about 20 km/h (12 mph). In addition, when th\
e driver depresses the
brake pedal while the system is in the operation range at about 4 to 30 \
km/h (2 to 18 mph),
the brakes are applied firmly and quickly to assist. (Brake Assist (SCBS brake assist))
