Smart City Brake Support [Forward] (SCBS F)*
The 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 (FS C) detects a vehicle
ahead and determines that a colli sion 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 (Smart City
Brake Support (SCBS) brake) when t he 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 les s than about 20 km/h (12 mph). In addition, when the 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 (Smart City
Brake Support (SCBS) brake assist))

Do not rely completely on the SCBS F system:
 The SCBS F system is only designed to red uce damage in the event of a collision. Over
reliance on the system leading to the accel erator pedal or brake pedal being mistakenly
operated could result in an accident.
 The SCBS F 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.

Smart Brake Support(SBS)
*
The SBS system alert s 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 i s 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 (fr ont) and the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC) determines that a
collision is unavoidable, the automatic
brake control is p erformed to reduce
damage in the event of a collision.
In addition, w hen the driver depresses the
brake pedal, the brake s are applied firmly
and quickly to assist. (Brake Assist (SBS
brake assist))
WA R N I N G
Do not rely completely on the SBS system
and always drive carefully:
The 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.
CAUTION
In the following cases, turn the system off
to prevent a mis-operation:
 The vehicle is being towed or when
towing another vehicle.
 The vehicle is on a chassis roller.
 When driving on rough roads such as in
areas of dense grass or
off-road.
NOTE
The SBS system operates when all of the
following conditions are met:
The ignition is switched ON.
The SBS system is on.
The vehicle speed is about 15 km/h or
faster (10 mph or faster).
The relative speed between your
vehicle and the vehicle ahead is about
15 km/h or faster (10 mph or faster).
The Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)
is not operating.
The SBS system may not operate under
the following conditions:
If the vehicle is accelerated rapidly
