*1 Displays a pop-up image in the active driving display only when the driver operates the switch.
NOTE
The distance-between-vehicles differs depending on the vehicle speed, and the
slower the vehicle speed, the shorter the distance.
When the ignition is switched to ACC or OFF and then the engine is started again,
the system automatically sets the distance-between-vehicles to the previous
setting.
Changing the Set Vehicle Speed
(To accelerate/decelerate using the RES switch)
When the RES switch is pressed up (SET+), the vehicle accelerates and when the RES
switch is pressed down (SET-), it decelerates.
Press and release immediately: 1 km/h (1 mph)Press and hold: 10 km/h (5 mph)
(To increase speed using accelerator pedal)
Depress the accelerator pedal and press the RES switch up (SET+) or down (SET-) at
the desired speed. If the switch is not op erated, the system returns to the set speed
after you release your foot from the accelerator pedal.
NOTE
The warnings and brake control do not operate while the accelerator pedal is
depressed.
The setting speed can be changed by operating the RES switch up (SET+) or down
(SET-) during stop hold control.
Canceling the system
When the following operations are performed, the MRCC with Stop & Go function
system is canceled, and the MRCC with Stop & Go function set indication (green)
switches to the MRCC with Stop & Go function standby indication (white) at the
same time.
The CANCEL switch is pressed.

hold control.
To resume driving
After the vehicle ahead starts moving
while your vehicle is stopped under
stop hold control, press the RES switch
or depress the accelerator pedal to
cancel the stop hold control and
resume driving.
NOTE
When you resume driving by pressing
the RES switch, your vehicle does not
start moving until the distance

Do not hit the rear side radar sensors
and rear ultrasonic sensors forcefully:
When washing the vehicle, do not
spray highly pressurized water against
the rear side radar sensors and the rear
ultrasonic sensors, or rub them
strongly. In addition, do not hit the rear
bumper forcefully when loading and
unloading cargo. Otherwise, the
system will be unable to detect
obstructions correctly and the SBS may
not operate normally.
CAUTION
In the following cases, turn the SBS
off to prevent a mis-operation.
 A trailer is pulled or an accessory
such as a bicycle carrier is installed
to the rear of the vehicle.
 The vehicle is driven on rough
roads such as in areas where there
is grass and foliage or off-road.
Refer to Stopping the Smart Brake
Support (SBS) System Operation
on page 4-163.
 Always use tires for all wheels that
are of the specified size, and the
same manufacture, brand, and tread
pattern. In addition, do not use tires
with significantly different wear
patterns on the same vehicle. If such
improper tires are used, the SBS may
not operate normally.
Rearward detection function
The rearward detection function is
designed to reduce damage in the
event of a collision with a target object
when reversing.
The rearward detection function
detects obstructions using the rear
ultrasonic sensors. In addition, if there
is the possibility of your vehicle
colliding with a target object at the rear
while you are driving in reverse, you
are notified of possible danger by a
warning sound and a warning
indication on the display.
Furthermore, if the possibility of a
collision increases, brake control is
performed to reduce damage in the
event of a collision.
WARNING
Always check the surrounding area
visually when reversing the vehicle:
The operation of the rearward
detection function has certain
limitations. Therefore, the function
might not operate or it might be
delayed even if there is a target object
at the rear of your vehicle. Always
make it your responsibility as a driver
to check the rear.

NOTE
During brake control, the collision
warning sound is activated
intermittently.
Rear crossing
The Rear Crossing detection function is
designed to reduce the damage in the
event of a collision with a vehicle
approaching from the rear sides while
driving in reverse.
The Rear Crossing detection function
detects approaching vehicles using the
rear side radar sensors. If there is the
possibility of your vehicle colliding with
a vehicle approaching from the rear
sides while you are driving in reverse,
you are notified of possible danger by
a warning sound and a warning
indication on the display.
Furthermore, if the possibility of a
collision increases, brake control is
performed to reduce damage in the
event of a collision.
WARNING
Always check the surrounding area
visually when reversing the vehicle:
The operation of the Rear Crossing
detection function has certain
limitations. Therefore, the function
might not operate or it might be
delayed even if there is a vehicle
passing through the rear of your
vehicle. Always make it your
responsibility as a driver to check the
rear.
Do not rely completely on the Rear
Crossing detection function:
The Rear Crossing detection function
operates on vehicles while you are
driving in reverse. It will not operate on
walls, pedestrians, or animals.
Operation conditions
The Rear Crossing detection function
operates when all of the following
conditions are met.
The engine is running.The SBS is on.The selector lever is in the R position.The vehicle speed is about 10 km/h
