Adjustable Speed Limiter *
The adjustable speed limiter is a function to prevent the vehicle from being driven at a
vehicle speed faster than a set speed. The vehicle speed is controlled to kept it below the set
speed even if the accelerator pedal is depressed.
The adjustable speed limiter can be set between 30 km/h (20 mph) and 200 km/h (125 mph).
The vehicle speed may exceed the set speed when the vehicle is driven on a down slope,
however, the system notifi es the driver by fl ashing the display and operating a warning
sound.
WARNING
Always turn off the system when changing drivers:
If the driver is changed and the new driver is unaware of the adjustable speed limiter
function, the vehicle may not accelerate when the driver depresses the accelerator
pedal, leading to an accident.
The system consists of the adjustable speed limiter display and the speed limiter switch on
the steering wheel.

WARNING
Turn off the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) when the vehicle is running on a chassis
roller or being towed:
Turn off the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system to prevent mistaken operation
when the vehicle is running on a chassis roller or being towed. See the next page on
how to turn off the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS).
Refer to Stopping The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) System Operation on page
4-143 .
CAUTION
When driving off-road in areas where there is grass or forage, it is recommended that
the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system be turned off.
Always use tyres for all wheels that are of the specifi ed size, and the same
manufacturer, brand, and tread pattern. In addition, do not use tyres with signifi cantly
different wear patterns on the same vehicle as the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS)
system may not operate normally.
The laser sensor (front) includes a function for detecting a soiled windscreen and
informing the driver, however, depending on the conditions, it may not detect plastic
shopping bags, ice or snow on the windscreen. In such cases, the system cannot
accurately determine a vehicle ahead and may not be able to operate normally. Always
drive carefully and pay attention to the road ahead.
NOTE
The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system will not operate if the driver is
deliberately performing driving operations (accelerator pedal and steering wheel).
The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system will operate under the following
conditions.
The engine is running.

NOTE
The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) detects a vehicle ahead by emitting a near-
infrared laser beam and receiving the beam refl ected off the refl ector of the vehicle
ahead, and then using it for the measurement. Consequently, the Smart City Brake
Support (SCBS) may not operate under the following conditions:
Refl ection of the laser is poor due to the shape of the vehicle ahead.
The vehicle ahead is signifi cantly dirty.
Under bad weather condition, such as rain, fog and snow.
The window washer is being used or the windscreen wipers are not used when it's
raining.
The windscreen is dirty.
The steering wheel is turned completely left or right, or the vehicle is accelerated
rapidly and comes close to the vehicle ahead.
Trucks with low loading platforms and vehicles with an extremely low or high
profi le.
Vehicles with certain shapes such as a vehicle carrier.
Under the following conditions, the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system may not
operate normally.
Heavy luggage is loaded in the luggage compartment or on the rear seat.
If there is the possibility of partial contact with a vehicle ahead.
When driving on continuously curving roads, and entering and exiting exits.
Elongated luggage or cargo is loaded onto installed roof rails and covers the laser
sensor (front) .
Exhaust gas from the vehicle in front, sand, snow, and water vapour rising from
manholes and grating, and water splashed into the air.
When towing a malfunctioning vehicle.
When driving with tyres having signifi cantly different wear.
In the following cases, the laser sensor (front) may inadvertently determine that there
is a vehicle ahead and the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system may operate.
Objects on the road at the entrance to a curve.
Vehicles passing in the opposite lane while making a curve.
Metal objects, bumps, or protruding objects on the road.
When passing through a toll gate equipped with a bar.
When passing under a vinyl curtain or fl ag.

equipped on the steering wheel, learn
to use the switches without looking
down at them so that you can keep your
maximum attention on the road while
driving the vehicle.
CAUTION
