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.
&$87,21
¾When driving
off-road in areas where there is grass or foliage, it is recommended that the
SCBS R system be turned off.
¾Always use tyres of the specified size and the same manufacturer, brand, and tread pattern
on all 4 wheels. In addition, do not use tyres with significantly different wear patterns on the
same vehicle. Otherwise, the SCBS R system may not operate normally.
¾If ice or snow is stuck on the ultrasonic sensors (rear) they may not be able to detect
obstructions correctly depending on the conditions. In such cases, the system may not be
able to perform controls correctly. Always drive carefully and pay attention to the rear of
the vehicle.
NOTE
xThe vehicle posture changes depending on the accelerator pedal, brake pedal and
steering wheel operations, which could make it difficult for the system to recognise an
obstruction, or it could facilitate unnecessary detection. In such cases, the SCBS R may or
may not operate.
xThe SCBS R system will operate under the following conditions.
xThe engine is running.
xThe change lever (manual transaxle vehicle) or the selector lever (automatic transaxle
vehicle) is in the R (reverse) position.
x“Smart City Brake Support Reverse Malfunction” is not displayed in the
multi-information display.
xThe vehicle speed is between about 2 to 8 km/h (2 to 4 mph).
xThe SCBS R is not turned off.
xThe DSC is not malfunctioning.
xThe SCBS R operates using ultrasonic sensors (rear) which detect obstructions at the rear
by emitting ultrasonic waves and then receiving the returning waves reflected off the
obstructions.
xIn the following cases, the ultrasonic sensors (rear) cannot detect obstructions and the
SCBS R may not operate.
xThe height of the obstruction is low such as low walls or trucks with low loading
platforms.
:KHQ'ULYLQJ
L$&7,96(16(


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.

xThe Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) warning indication (amber) turns on when the
system has a malfunction.

Do not rely completely on the SBS system
and always drive carefully:
The 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 traffic
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.
&$87,21
In the following cases, turn the system off
to prevent a mis-operation:
¾The vehicle is being towed or when
towing another vehicle.
¾The vehicle is on a chassis roller.
¾When driving on rough roads such as in
areas of dense grass or off-road.
NOTE

faster (10 mph or faster).
xThe relative speed between your
vehicle and the vehicle ahead is about
15 km/h or faster (10 mph or faster).
xThe Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)
is not operating.
xThe SBS system may not operate under
the following conditions:
xIf the vehicle is accelerated rapidly
and it comes close to a vehicle ahead.
xThe vehicle is driven at the same
speed as the vehicle ahead.
xThe accelerator pedal is depressed.
xThe brake pedal is depressed.
xThe steering wheel is being operated.
xThe selector lever is being operated.

xWhen warnings and messages, such
as a dirty windscreen, related to the
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) are
being displayed in the

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.
