When Driving
If the Smart City Brake Support
(SCBS) is operating, the indicator
light (red) flashes.
WARNING
■Do not modify the suspension
If the vehicle height or inclination is changed, the system will not be able to
correctly detect vehicles ahead. This will result in the Smart City Brake Sup-
port (SCBS) system not operating norma lly or mistakenly operating, which
could cause a serious accident.
■ Turn off the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) when the vehicle is run-
ning on a chassis roller or being towed
Turn off the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system to prevent mistaken
operation when the vehicle is running on a chassis roller or being towed.
Refer to Stopping The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) System Operation
on P. 210.
NOTICE
●When driving off-road in areas where there is grass or forage, it is recom-
mended that the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system be turned off.
● Always use tires for all wheels that are of the specified size, and the same
manufacturer, brand, and tread pattern. In addition, do not use tires with
significantly different wear patterns on the same vehicle as the Smart City
Brake Support (SCBS) system may not operate normally.

When Driving
Laser Sensor∗
Always keep the surface of the
windshield around the laser sen-
sor clean to assure proper opera-
tion of the Smart City Brake
Support (SCBS) system.
∗: If equipped
The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) laser sensor is installed at
the top of the windshield near the rearview mirror.
WARNING
■ As there is the possibility of eye damage occurring from the laser,
always heed the following precautions
● Never remove the sensor.
● A removed sensor will not meet the conditions for a class 1M laser under
the IEC 60825-1 specification and therefore eye safety cannot be assured.
● Do not peer into the sensor using optical instruments with a magnification
function such as magnifying glasses, and microscopic and objective
lenses within a distance of 3.94 in. (100 mm) from the sensor.
