Advanced Smart City Brake Support (Advanced SCBS)*
The Advanced SCBS alerts the driver of a possible collision using the display and a warning
sound when the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) detects a vehicle ahead or pedestrian and
determines that a collision with the object is unavoidable while 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 control (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 quickly to assist. (Brake Assist
(Advanced SCBS brake assist))

WARNING
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.

Smart City Brake Support [Forward] (SCBS F)*
The SCBS F system alerts the driver of a possible collision using an indication in the
display and a warning sound when the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) detects a vehicle
ahead and determines that a collision with a vehicle ahead 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 operating the brake control (Smart City
Brake Support (SCBS) brake) when the system determines 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 firmly and quickly to assist. (Brake Assist (Smart City
Brake Support (SCBS) brake assist))

WA R N I N G
Do not rely completely on the SCBS F system:
 The SCBS F system is only designed to red uce damage in the event of a collision. Over
reliance on the system leading to the accel erator pedal or brake pedal being mistakenly
operated could result in an accident.
 The SCBS F 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.

Do not apply a strong force to an ultrasonic sensor (rear):
When washing the vehicle, do not spray highly pressurized 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 gr ass or foliage, it is recommended that the
SCBS R system be turned off.
 Always use tires of the specified size and th e same manufacturer, brand, and tread pattern
on all 4 wheels. In addition, do not use tires with 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 recognize 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 selector lever 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.
