may be difficult to detect them.
xThe vehicle speed when reversing is about 10 km/h (6 mph) or faster.
xThe radar sensor (rear) detection area is obstructed by a nearby wall or parked vehicle.
(Reverse the vehicle to a position where the radar sensor detection area is no longer
obstructed.)
Your vehicle
xA vehicle is approaching directly from the rear of your vehicle.
Your vehicle
xThe vehicle is parked on a slant.

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 not detect obstructions correctly which could
cause the SCBS R system to not operate normally, or it could operate unnecessarily.
& $ 8 7 , 2 1
¾When driving
off-road in areas where there is grass or foliage, it is recommended that the
SCBS R system be turned off.
¾Always use tyres of the specified size and the same manufacturer, brand, and tread pattern
on all 4 wheels. In addition, do not use tyres with significantly different wear patterns on the
same vehicle. Otherwise, the SCBS R system may not operate normally.
¾If 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 drive carefully and pay attention to the rear of
the vehicle.
NOTE
xThe 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.
xThe SCBS R system will operate under the following conditions.
xThe engine is running.
xThe change lever (manual transaxle vehicle) or the selector lever (automatic transaxle
vehicle) is in the R (reverse) position.
x“Smart City Brake Support Reverse Malfunction” is not displayed in the
multi-information display.
xThe vehicle speed is between about 2 to 8 km/h (2 to 4 mph).
xThe SCBS R is not turned off.
xThe DSC is not malfunctioning.
xThe 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.
xIn the following cases, the ultrasonic sensors (rear) cannot detect obstructions and the
SCBS R may not operate.
xThe height of the obstruction is low such as low walls or trucks with low loading
platforms.

xThe height of the obstruction is high such as trucks with high loading platforms.
xThe obstruction is small.
xThe obstruction is thin such as a signpost.
xThe obstruction is positioned away from the centre of the vehicle.
xThe surface of the obstruction is not pointed vertically relative to the vehicle.
xThe obstruction is soft such as a hanging curtain or snow stuck to a vehicle.
xThe obstruction is shaped irregularly.
xThe obstruction is extremely close.
xIn the following cases, the ultrasonic sensors (rear) cannot detect obstructions correctly
and the SCBS R may not operate.
xSomething is stuck on the bumper near an ultrasonic sensor (rear).
xThe steering wheel is turned sharply, or the brake or accelerator pedal is operated.
xThere is another obstruction near one obstruction.
xDuring inclement weather such as rain, fog and snow.
xHigh or low humidity.
xHigh or low temperatures
xStrong winds.
xThe path of travel is not flat.
xHeavy luggage is loaded in the luggage compartment or on the rear seat.
xObjects such as a wireless aerial, fog light, or illuminated number plate is installed
near an ultrasonic sensor (rear).
xThe orientation of an ultrasonic sensor (rear) has deviated for reasons such as a
collision.
xThe vehicle is affected by other sound waves such as the horn, engine noise, ultrasonic
sensor of another vehicle.
xIn the following cases, an ultrasonic sensor (rear) may detect something as a target
obstruction which could cause the SCBS R system to operate.
xDriving on a steep slope.
xWheel blocks.
xHanging curtains, gate poles such as at toll gates and railroad crossing.
xWhen travelling near objects such as foliage, barriers, vehicles, walls, and fences along
a road.
xWhen driving off-road in areas where there is grass and forage.
xWhen passing through low gates, narrow gates, car washing machines, and tunnels.
xA towing bar is installed or a trailer is connected.
x(Manual transaxle)
If the vehicle is stopped by the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) operation and the clutch
pedal is not depressed, the engine stops.
xWhen the system operates, the user is notified by the multi-information display.

xWhen warnings and messages, such
as a dirty windscreen, related to the
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) are
being displayed in the
multi-information display.
xAlthough 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 SBS
system.
xObjects on the road at the entrance to
a curve (including guardrails and
snow banks).
xA vehicle appears in the opposite lane
while cornering or rounding a curve.
xWhen crossing a narrow bridge.
xWhen passing under a low gate or
through a tunnel or narrow gate.
xWhen entering an underground
parking area.

objects on the road.
xIf you suddenly come close to a
vehicle ahead.
xWhen driving in areas where there is
high grass or forage.
xTwo-wheeled vehicles such as
motorbikes or bicycles.
xPedestrians or non-metallic objects
such as standing trees.
xWhen the system operates, the user is
notified by the multi-information
display.
xThe SBS warning indication (amber)
turns on when the system has a
malfunction.

The parking sensor detection range has limitations. For example, obstructions closing in from
the side and objects short in height may not be detected. Always confirm the safety around
the vehicle visually when driving.
For details, refer to the parking sensor obstruction detection indication and warning sound.
Refer to Parking Sensor System on page 4-306.
NOTE
The setting can be changed so that the projected vehicle path lines are not displayed.

xThe parking sensor obstruction detection indication does not display. Switch the screen
display to the top view/front view or side view display if the parking sensor warning sound
is activated.
xThe front wide view screen displays the image in front of the vehicle at a wide angle and
corrects the image to help detect approaching obstructions from the side. Therefore, it
differs from the actual view.

For details, refer to the parking sensor obstruction detection indication and warning sound.
Refer to Parking Sensor System on page 4-306.
¾Do not turn the steering wheel any more until the vehicle has passed the obstruction, even
if the obstruction is not visible on the side view image. If the steering wheel is turned even
more, the vehicle may contact the obstruction if it is turned sharply.
NOTE
xBecause there might be a difference between the image displayed on the screen and the
actual conditions, always check the safety of the surrounding area using the mirrors and
directly with your eyes when driving.
xEven though the object displayed on the screen, such as a road curb or a division line of a
parking space, and the vehicle parallel guide lines appear parallel, they may not actually
be parallel.

¾The front of the vehicle swings out wide when turning the steering wheel while reversing.
Maintain sufficient distance between the vehicle and an obstruction.
¾The parking sensor detection range has limitations. For example, obstructions closing in
from the side and objects short in height may not be detected. Always confirm the safety
around the vehicle visually when driving.
For details, refer to the parking sensor obstruction detection indication and warning sound.
Refer to Parking Sensor System on page 4-306.
NOTE
xBecause there might be a difference between the image displayed on the screen, such as
indicated in the following, and the actual conditions when parking, always check the
safety at the rear of the vehicle and the surrounding area directly with your eyes.
xEven though the back end of the parking space (or garage) displayed on the screen and
distance guide lines appear parallel, they may not actually be parallel.
xWhen parking in a space with a division line on only one side of the parking space, even
though the division line and the vehicle width guide line appear parallel, they may not
actually be parallel.
xThe following shows an example of vehicle parking with the steering wheel turned to the
left while backing up the vehicle. When backing into a parking space from the opposite
direction, the steering operation is reversed.
