y If you have set the lane departure warning sound to the beep sound/rumble sound *1
setting, the warning sound may not be heard depending on the surrounding noise
conditions.
 


y If you have set the lane departure warning system to the steering wheel vibrations setting,
the vibration may not be felt depending on the road surface conditions.
 


y When the setting for the steering operation assist is changed to operational, the warnings
can be set to activate/not activate. (When the setting for the steering operation assist is
changed to non-operational, the warnings cannot be set to not activate.)
  Refer to Setting Change (Personalization Features) on page 9-11 .



y The Lane-keep Assist System (LAS) & Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) can be
changed to the following settings regardless of whether the steering operation assist has
been set to operational/non-operational. Always check the setting status when driving the
vehicle and make setting changes if necessary.

*1 A rumble strip is a series of grooves in the road pavement surface positioned at speci¿ c
intervals, and when the vehicle passes over it a vibration and rumble sound is produced
which alerts the driver that the vehicle is departing from the lane.
The rumble sound is a reproduction of the sound which occurs when a vehicle passes
over a rumble strip.

CAUTION
 ¾ When driving off -road in areas where there is grass or foliage, it is recommended that the
Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system be turned off .




¾ Always use tires for all wheels that are of the specifi ed size, and the same manufacturer,
brand, and tread pattern. In addition, do not use tires with signifi cantly diff erent wear
patterns on the same vehicle as the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system may not
operate normally.
 


¾ The laser sensor (front) includes a function for detecting a soiled windshield and informing
the driver, however, depending on the conditions, it may not detect plastic shopping bags,
ice or snow on the windshield. 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.

N O T E
 


y The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system will not operate if the driver is deliberately
performing driving operations (accelerator pedal and steering wheel).
 


y The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system will operate under the following conditions. 



y The engine is running.
y “Forward Smart City Brake Support Malfunction” is not displayed in the multi-
information display.
 


y The vehicle speed is between about 4 to 30 km/h (2 to 18 mph).



y The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system is not turned off.



y The DSC is not malfunctioning. 



y The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) detects a vehicle ahead by emitting a near-infrared
laser beam and receiving the beam reÀ ected off the reÀ 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:
 


y ReÀ ection of the laser is poor due to the shape of the vehicle ahead.



y The vehicle ahead is signi¿ cantly dirty.



y Under bad weather condition, such as rain, fog and snow.



y The window washer is being used or the windshield wipers are not used when it's
raining.
 


y The windshield is dirty.



y The steering wheel is turned completely left or right, or the vehicle is accelerated
rapidly and comes close to the vehicle ahead.
 


y Trucks with low loading platforms and vehicles with an extremely low or high pro¿ le.



y Vehicles with certain shapes such as a vehicle carrier.

y If the vehicle is accelerated rapidly and it comes close to a vehicle ahead.



y The vehicle is driven at the same speed as the vehicle ahead.



y The accelerator pedal is depressed.



y The brake pedal is depressed.



y The steering wheel is being operated.



y The selector lever is being operated.



y The turn signal is being used.



y When the vehicle ahead is not equipped with taillights or the taillights are turned off.



y When warnings and messages, such as a dirty windshield, related to the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC)/laser sensor (front) are being displayed in the multi-
information display.
 


y Although the objects which activate the system are four-wheeled vehicles, the radar
sensor (front) could detect the following objects, determine them to be an obstruction, and
operate the Smart Brake Support (SBS) system.
 


y Objects on the road at the entrance to a curve (including guardrails and snow banks).



y A vehicle appears in the opposite lane while cornering or rounding a curve.



y When crossing a narrow bridge.



y When passing under a low gate or through a tunnel or narrow gate.



y When entering an underground parking area.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System
N O T E
Because this system detects slight changes in tire conditions, the timing of the warning may
be faster or slower in the following cases:
 


y The size, manufacturer, or the type of tires is different from the speci¿ cation.



y The size, manufacturer, or the type of a tire is different from the others, or the level of tire
wear is excessively different between them.
 


y A run-À at tire, studless tire, snow tire, or tire chains are used.



y An emergency tire is used (The tire pressure monitoring system warning light may À ash
and then continue illuminating).
 


y A tire is repaired using the emergency À at tire repair kit.



y The tire pressure is excessively higher than the speci¿ ed pressure, or the tire pressure is
suddenly lowered for some reason such as a tire burst during driving.
 


y The vehicle speed is lower than about 15 km/h (9.3 mph) (including when the vehicle is
stopped), or the drive period is shorter than 5 minutes.
 


y The vehicle is driven on an extremely rough road or a slippery, icy road.



y Hard steering and rapid acceleration/deceleration are repeated such as during aggressive
driving on a winding road.
 


y Load on the vehicle is applied to a tire such as by loading heavy luggage to one side of
the vehicle.
 


y System initialization has not been implemented with the speci¿ ed tire pressure.
