Speed Limiter Warning Beep
Indicated in instrument cluster
If the vehicle speed exceeds the set speed by about 3 km/h (2 mph) or more, a warning
sound operates continuously and the adjustable speed limiter display À ashes at the same
time. The warning sound operates and the display À ashes until the vehicle speed decreases
to the set speed or less.

Advanced Smart City Brake Support (Advanced SCBS)
(Except Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand)
*
The Advanced Smart City Brake Support (Advanced SCBS) alerts the driver of a possible
collision using the display and a warning sound when the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
detects a vehicle ahead or pedestrian and determines that a collision with the object is
unavoidable while the vehicle is driven at a vehicle speed of about 4 to 80 km/h (2 to
50 mph) if the object is a vehicle ahead and about 10 to 80 km/h (6.2 to 50 mph) if the
object is a pedestrian. In addition, the system reduces damage in the event of a collision by
operating the brake control (SCBS brake) when the system determines that a collision is
unavoidable. In addition, when the driver depresses the brake pedal, the brakes are applied
¿ rmly and quickly to assist. (Brake Assist (Advanced SCBS brake assist))

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 Advanced Smart City Brake Support (Advanced SCBS) system operates in
response to a vehicle ahead or a pedestrian. The system does not operate in response
to obstructions such as a wall, 2-wheeled vehicles, or animals.

Smart City Brake Support [Forward] (SCBS F)
(Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand)
*
The Smart City Brake Support [Forward] (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 (FSC) detects a vehicle ahead and determines that a collision 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 (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 vehicle and the
vehicle in front of you is less 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 ¿ rmly and quickly to assist. (Brake Assist (SCBS brake
assist))

Smart Brake Support (SBS) *
The Smart Brake Support (SBS) system alerts 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 is 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 (front) and the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) determines that 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 pedal, the brakes are applied ¿ rmly and
quickly to assist. (Brake Assist (SBS brake assist))
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the Smart Brake Support (SBS) system and always drive
carefully:
The Smart Brake Support (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 traf¿ c 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.
