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

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

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

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.

NOTE



The SBS system operates when all of the
following conditions are met:



The ignition is switched ON.



The SBS system is on.



The vehicle speed is about 15 km/h or
faster (10 mph or faster).



The relative speed between your
vehicle and the vehicle ahead is about
15 km/h or faster (10 mph or faster).



The Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)
is not operating.



The SBS system may not operate under
the following conditions:



If the vehicle is accelerated rapidly
and it comes close to a vehicle ahead.



The vehicle is driven at the same
speed as the vehicle ahead.



The accelerator pedal is depressed.



The brake pedal is depressed.



The steering wheel is being operated.



360° View Monitor

The 360° View Monitor consists of the following functions which assist the driver in
checking the area surrounding the vehicle using various indications in the center display and
a warning sound while the vehicle is being driven at low speeds or while parking.



Top view
The top view displays an image of the vehicle from directly above on the center display
by combining the images taken from the 4 cameras set on all sides of the vehicle. The top
view displays on the right side of the screen when the front view or rear view screen is
being displayed. The top view assists the driver in checking the area surrounding the
vehicle when the vehicle is moving forward or in reverse.



Front view/front wide view
The image from the front of the vehicle is displayed on the center display.
The view from the front assists the driver in checking the front of the vehicle by
displaying guide lines on the displayed image taken from the front of the vehicle.



Side view
The images taken from the front left and right sides of the vehicle are displayed on the
center display.
The side view assists the driver in checking the front sides of the vehicle by displaying
guide lines on the displayed image taken from the front left and right sides of the vehicle.



Rear view/rear wide view
The image from the rear of the vehicle is displayed on the center display.
The image from the rear assists the driver in checking the rear of the vehicle by displaying
guide lines on the displayed image taken from the rear of the vehicle.



Parking sensor
If there are any obstructions near the vehicle while the top view/side view is displayed, an
obstruction detection indication turns on around the bumper in the center display.
The parking sensors use ultrasonic sensors to detect obstructions around the vehicle when
the vehicle is driven at low speeds, such as during garage or parallel parking, and notifies
the driver of the approximate distance from the vehicle to the surrounding obstruction
using sound and an obstruction detection indication.
Refer to Parking Sensor System on page 4-220.



Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
If there is the possibility of a collision with an approaching vehicle while the rear view/
rear wide view is displayed, a warning is displayed on the center display.
The Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) uses radar sensors (rear) to detect vehicles
approaching from the rear left and right sides of the vehicle, and it assists the driver in
checking the rear of the vehicle while reversing by flashing the Blind Spot Monitoring
(BSM) warning lights and activating the warning sound.

WARNING

Always confirm the safety of the area around the vehicle with the mirrors and directly with
your eyes when driving.
The 360°View Monitor is an auxiliary device which assists the driver in checking the safety of
the area around the vehicle.
The shooting range of the cameras and detection range of the sensors are limited. For
example, the areas in black at the front and rear of the vehicle image and the seams where
each of the camera images merge are blind spots where an obstruction may not be visible. In
addition, the extended vehicle width lines and projected vehicle path lines are only to be used
as references, and the images on the screen may differ from the actual conditions.

CAUTION

Do not use the 360°View Monitor under any of the following conditions.

Icy or snow-covered roads.
Tire chains or a temporary spare tire is installed.
