*
The Advanced SCBS alerts the driver of a possible collision usi ng the display and a warning
sound when the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) detects a vehicle a head or pedestrian and
determines that a collision with the object is unavoidable whil e 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 contr ol (Advanced SCBS brake)
when the system determines that a collision is unavoidable. In addition, when the driver
depresses the brake pedal, the brakes are applied firmly and qu ickly to assist. (Brake Assist

Do not rely completely on the Advanced SCBS system:
The 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 SCBS system operates in response to a vehicle ahead or a pedestrian. The
system does not operate in response to obstru ctions such as a wall, 2-wheeled vehicles, or
animals.

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.

•The Advanced SCBS system will not operate if the driver is deliberately performing
driving operations (accelerator pedal and steering wheel).
•If there is the possibility of pa rtial contact with a vehicle ahead.
•The vehicle is driven on a slippery road surface such as wet roads or icy or snow-bound
roads.

ahead and determines that a collis ion with a vehicle ahead is u navoidable 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 (Smart City
Brake Support (SCBS) brake) when the system determines that a c ollision 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 firmly and quickly to assist . (Brake Assist (Smart City

Do not apply a strong force to an ultrasonic sensor (rear):
When washing the vehicle, do not spray highly pressurised water against an ultrasonic sensor
(rear), or rub it strongly. In addition, do not hit the rear bumper forcefully when loading and
unloading cargo Otherwise, the sensors may no t detect obstructions correctly which could
cause the SCBS R system to not operate no rmally, or it could operate unnecessarily.
CAUTION
When driving
off-road in areas where there is grass or foliage, it is recommended that the
SCBS R system be turned off.
Always use tyres of the specified size and th e same manufacturer, brand, and tread pattern
on all 4 wheels. In addition, do not use tyres wi th significantly different wear patterns on the
same vehicle. Otherwise, the SCBS R system may not operate normally.
If ice or snow is stuck on the ultrasonic sensors (rear) they may not be able to detect
obstructions correctly depending on the conditions. In such cases, the system may not be
able to perform controls correctly. Always dr ive carefully and pay attention to the rear of
the vehicle.
NOTE
•The vehicle posture changes depending on the accelerator pedal, brake pedal and
steering wheel operations, which could make it difficult for the system to recognise an
obstruction, or it could facilitate unnecessary detection. In such cases, the SCBS R may or
may not operate.
•The SCBS R system will operate under the following conditions.
•The engine is running.
•The change lever (manual transaxle vehicle) or the selector lever (automatic transaxle
vehicle) is in the R (reverse) position.
•“Reverse Smart City Brake Support Malfunction” is not displayed in the
multi-information display.
•The vehicle speed is between about 2 to 8 km/h (2 to 4 mph).
•The SCBS R is not turned off.
•The DSC is not malfunctioning.
•The SCBS R operates using ultrasonic sensors (rear) which detect obstructions at the rear
by emitting ultrasonic waves and then receiving the returning waves reflected off the
obstructions.
•In the following cases, the ultrasonic sensors (rear) cannot detect obstructions and the
SCBS R may not operate.
•The height of the obstruction is low such as low walls or trucks with low loading
platforms.

•The height of the obstruction is high such as trucks with high loading platforms.
•The obstruction is small.
•The obstruction is thin such as a signpost.
•The obstruction is positioned away from the centre of the vehicle.
•The surface of the obstruction is not pointed vertically relative to the vehicle.
•The obstruction is soft such as a hanging curtain or snow stuck to a vehicle.
•The obstruction is shaped irregularly.
•The obstruction is extremely close.
•In the following cases, the ultrasonic sensors (rear) cannot detect obstructions correctly
and the SCBS R may not operate.
•Something is stuck on the bumper near an ultrasonic sensor (rear).
•The steering wheel is turned sharply, or the brake or accelerator pedal is operated.
•There is another obstruction near one obstruction.

collision.
•The vehicle is affected by other sound waves such as the horn, engine noise, ultrasonic
sensor of another vehicle.
•In the following cases, an ultrasonic sensor (rear) may detect something as a target
obstruction which could cause the SCBS R system to operate.
•Driving on a steep slope.
•Wheel blocks.
•Hanging curtains, gate poles such as at toll gates and railroad crossing.
•When travelling near objects such as foliage, barriers, vehicles, walls, and fences along
a road.
