Smart Brake Support
(SBS)
*
▼Smart Brake Support (SBS)
The SBS is a system designed to detect
target objects using sensors and
cameras equipped on the vehicle, and
to reduce damage in the event of a
collision by operating the brake control
if there is the possibility of your vehicle
colliding with a target object.
One part of the SBS functions when
you are driving forward and the other
part functions when you are driving in
reverse.
Refer to Forward drive detection on
page 4-168.
Refer to Reverse drive detection on
page 4-170.
▼Forward drive detection
When you are driving forward, the
following functions of the Smart Brake
Support (SBS) operate.
Forward detection function
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the SBS:
The SBS is only designed to reduce
damage in the event of a collision.
The system may not operate normally
depending on the target object,
weather conditions, or traffic
conditions. Over reliance on the
system leading to the accelerator pedal
or brake pedal being mistakenly
operated could result in an accident.
CAUTION
In the following cases, turn the SBS
off
to prevent a mis-operation.

The vehicle is being towed or towing
another 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 4-176.
NOTE
During the SBS brake control, the
brake pedal may move rearward or
become stiff. The brakes are operating,
but continue to depress the brake
pedal.
Forward detection function
The forward detection function is
designed to reduce damage in the
event of a collision with target objects
at the front.
The forward detection function detects
target objects (vehicles ahead,
pedestrians, and bicycles) using the
front radar sensor and the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC). If there is a
possibility of your vehicle colliding with
a target object at the front, 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, the brake control is
performed to reduce damage in the
event of a collision. In addition, when
the driver depresses the brake pedal,
the brakes are applied firmly and
quickly to assist.

(Vehicles with Driver Monitoring
(DM))
If the system determines that the driver
is not paying attention to the road, it
activates the collision warning earlier
than normal.

Pa r k i n g S e n s o r Sys te m*
▼Parking Sensor System
The parking sensors use ultrasonic sensors which detect obstructions around the
vehicle when the vehicle is driven at low speeds, such as during garage or parallel
parking , and a buzzer sound and detection indicator notify the driver of the
approximate distance from the vehicle to the surrounding obstruction.
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the park
ing sensor system and be sure to
confirm the
safety around your vehicle visually when driving:
This system can assist the driver in operating the vehicle in the forward and
backward directions while parking. The detection ranges of the sensors are limited,
therefore, driving the vehicle while relying only on the system may cause an
accident. Always confirm the safety around your vehicle visually when driving.
CAUTION
 Do not install any accessories within the detection ranges of the sensors. It may
affect the system operation.
 Depending on the type of obstruction and the surrounding conditions, the
detection range of a sensor may narrow, or the sensors may not be able to detect
obstructions.
 When washing the vehicle, do not spra y highly pressurized water against the
sensor area, or rub it strongly. Otherwise, it may not be able to detect obstructions
correctly and the system may not operate normally.
NOTE
When the ignition is switched OFF, th e system status before it was turned
off is
maintained. For example, if the ignition is switched OFF while the parking sensor
is activated, the system will be activate d when the ignition is switched ON the
next time.
The system may not operate normally under the following conditions:
Mud, ice, or snow is adhering to the sensor area (Returns to normal operation
when removed).
The sensor area is frozen (Returns to normal operation when the ice is thawed).The sensor is covered by a hand.The sensor is excessively shocked.The vehicle is excessively tilted.Under extremely hot or cold weather conditions.The vehicle is driven on bumps, inclines, gravel, grating, or grass covered roads.
