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))

WARNING
Do not rely completely on the Advanced Smart City Brake Support (Advanced SCBS)
system:
 
 The Advanced Smart City Brake Support (Advanced SCBS) system is only designed
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))
