4-133.
▼
Blind Spot Assist*
The Blind Spot Assist function assists
the driver in avoiding collisions with
vehicles in adjacent lanes (excluding
vehicles approaching in the opposite
direction).
The Blind Spot Assist function detects
white lines (yellow lines) on the vehicle
lane using the Forward Sensing Camera
(FSC) and detects vehicles on adjacent
lanes using the rear side radar sensors.
If there is a possibility of a collision
with a vehicle in an adjacent lane
when you try to change lanes or if you
may deviate from your lane, it assists
your steering wheel operation to keep
you in the driving lane.
When the steering wheel operation
assist operates, a warning sound and
warning indications on displays alert
the driver of the possibility of a
collision. Furthermore, if the possibility
of a collision increases, a warning

Smart Brake Support(SBS)
*
▼Smart Brake Support (SBS)
The SBS is a system designed to detect
target objects using sensors and
cameras equipped on the vehicle, and
to reduce damage in the event of a
collision by operating the brake control
if there is the possibi
lity of your vehicle
colliding with a target object.
One part of the SBS functions when
you are driving forward and the other
part functions when you are driving in
reverse.
Refer to Forward drive detection on
page 4-136.
Refer to Reverse drive detection on
page 4-138.
▼ Forward drive detection
When you are driving forward, the
following functions of the Smart Brake
Support (SBS) operate.
Forward detection function
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the
SBS:
The SBS is only designed to reduce
damage in the event of a collision.
The system may not operate normally
depending on the target object,
weather conditions, or tra ffic
conditions. Over reliance on the
system leading to the accelerator pedal
or brake pedal being mistakenly
operated could result in an accident.
CAUTION
In the following cases, turn the SBS o ff
to prevent a mis-operation.
 The vehicle is being towed.
 The vehicle is driven on rough roads
such as in areas where there is grass
and foliage or o ff-road.
Refer to Stopping the Smart Brake
Support (SBS) System Operation on
page 4-143.
Forward detection function
The forward detection function is
designed to reduce damage in the
event of a collision with target objects
at the front.
The forward detection function detects
target objects (vehicles ahead,
pedestrians, and bicycles) using the
front radar sensor and the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC). If there is a
possibility of your vehicle colliding with
a target object at the front, you are
noti fied of possible danger by a
warning sound and a warning
indication on the display.
Furthermore, if the possibility of a
collision increases, the 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 firmly and
quickly to assist.

(Vehicles with Driver Monitoring
(DM))
If the system determines that the driver
is not paying attention to the road, it
activates the collision warning earlier
than normal.
