Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) *
The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system alerts the driver of a possible collision using
an indication in the display and a warning sound when the Forward Sensin\
g Camera (FSC)
detects a vehicle ahead and determines that a collision with a vehicle a\
head 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 op\
erating the brake
control (Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) brake) when the system dete\
rmines 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 fi rmly and quickly to
assist. (Brake Assist (Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) brake assist))

WARNING
Do not rely completely on the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system:  The Smart City Brake Support (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 Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) is a system which operates in response to a vehicle ahead. The system may not be able to detect or react to 2-wheeled vehicles or
pedestrians.

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.
Refer to Stopping the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system Operation on page 4-152
on how to turn off the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system.

ing wheel).
  If there is the possibility of partial contact with a vehicle ahead.  The vehicle is driven on a slippery road surface such as wet roads or icy or snow-
bound roads.
  The braking performance is adversely affected due to cold temperatures or wet brakes.  The vehicle is driven at the same speed as the vehicle ahead.  The accelerator pedal is depressed.  The brake pedal is depressed.  The steering wheel is being operated.  The selector lever is being operated.   In the following cases, the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) determines that there is a
vehicle ahead and the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) may operate.
  Objects on the road at the entrance to a curve.  Vehicles passing in the opposite lane while making a curve.  Metal objects, bumps, or protruding objects on the road.  When passing through a toll gate.  When passing through low gates, narrow gates, car washing machines, or tunnels.  If you suddenly come close to a vehicle ahead.  2-wheeled vehicles, pedestrians, animals or standing trees.  Vehicle is driven with some of the tires having signi fi cant wear.

Collision Warning
If there is the possibility of a collision
with a vehicle ahead, the beep sounds
continuously and a warning is indicated in
the multi-information display or the active
driving display.

Multi-information Display

NOTE
The operation distance and volume of the
collision warning can be changed. Refer to
Personalization Features on page 9-11 .

Automatic Brake Operation
Display
“Smart City Brake Support Activated” is
indicated in the multi-information display
after the SCBS brakes or the brake assist
(SCBS brake assist) is operated.


NOTE
  The collision warning beep sounds
intermittently while the SCBS brake
or brake assist (SCBS brake assist) is
operating.
  If the vehicle is stopped by the SCBS
operation and the brake pedal is not
depressed, the warning beep sounds
one time after about 2 seconds and the
SCBS brake is automatically released.

*Some models.
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 ve\
hicle 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 i\
n the event of a
collision.
In addition, when the driver depresses the brake pedal, the brakes are a\
pplied fi rmly and
quickly to assist. (Brake Assist (SBS brake assist))
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the Smart Br ake 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 traffi 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.

NOTE
  The Smart Brake Support (SBS) system operates when all of the followin\
g conditions are
met:
  The ignition is switched ON.  The Smart Brake Support (SBS) system is on.  The vehicle speed is about 15 km/h or faster (10 mph or faster).  The relative speed between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is about 15 km/\
h or
faster (10 mph or faster).
  The Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) is not operating.   The Smart Brake Support (SBS) system may not operate under the followi\
ng conditions:   If the vehicle is accelerated rapidly and it comes close to a vehicle ah\
ead.  The vehicle is driven at the same speed as the vehicle ahead.  The accelerator pedal is depressed.  The brake pedal is depressed.  The steering wheel is being operated.  The selector lever is being operated.  The turn signal is being used.  When the vehicle ahead is not equipped with taillights or the taillights\
are turned off.  When warnings and messages, such as a dirty windshield, related to the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC) are being displayed in the multi-information display.
  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 obstru\
ction, and
operate the Smart Brake Support (SBS) system.
  Objects on the road at the entrance to a curve (including guardrails and snow banks).  A vehicle appears in the opposite lane while cornering or rounding a curve.  When crossing a narrow bridge.  When passing under a low gate or through a tunnel or narrow gate.  When entering an underground parking area.  Metal objects, bumps, or protruding objects on the road.  If you suddenly come close to a vehicle ahead.  When driving in areas where there is high grass or forage.  Two-wheeled vehicles such as motorbikes or bicycles.  Pedestrians or non-metallic objects such as standing trees.   When the system operates, the user is noti fi ed by the multi-information display.   The Smart Brake Support (SBS) warning indication (amber) turns on wh\
en the system has
a malfunction.
 Refer to Warning Indication/Warning Lights on page 4-33 .
