*Some models.
Smart Brake Support (SBS)
*
The Smart Brake Support (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
¿ rmly and
quickly to assist. (Brake Assist (SBS brake assist))
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the Smart Brake Support (SBS) system and always drive
carefully:
The Smart Brake Support (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 traf
¿ c 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.
