Smart Brake Support (SBS)

*

Smart Brake Support (SBS) is a system which alerts the driver of a possible collision using 

an indicator and warning sound in the instrument cluster while the vehicle is being driven at 

about 15 km/h or faster (10 mph or faster) and the system's radar sensor (front) determines 

that your vehicle may hit a vehicle ahead. Furthermore, if the radar sensor (front) 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 operate more quickly to 

assist the driver.

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 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

If the vehicle is towed or you are towing something, switch the Smart Brake Support (SBS) 

system off to prevent a mistaken operation.
