Smart Brake Support (SBS)
*
The SBS system alerts the driver of a possible collision using a display and warning sound
if the radar sensor (front) and the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) determine that there is the
possibility of a collision with a vehicle ahead while the vehicle is being driven at about 15
km/h or faster (10 mph or faster). Furthermore, if the radar sensor (front) and the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC) determines that a collision is unavoidable, the automatic 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. (Brake Assist (SBS brake assist))
WARNING
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.
CAUTION
In the following cases, turn the system off to prevent a mis-operation:

The vehicle is being towed or when towing another vehicle.

The vehicle is on a chassis roller.

When driving on rough roads such as in areas of dense grass or off-road.
