When Driving

Brake

CAUTION

¾

  When driving off -road in areas where there is grass or forage, it is recommended that the 

Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system be turned off .

¾

  Always use tires for all wheels that are of the specifi ed size, and the same manufacturer, 

brand, and tread pattern. In addition, do not use tires with signifi cantly diff erent wear 
patterns on the same vehicle as the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system may not 
operate normally.

¾

  The laser sensor includes a function for detecting a soiled windshield and informing the 

driver, however, depending on the conditions, it may not detect plastic shopping bags, ice 
or snow on the windshield. In such cases, the system cannot accurately determine a vehicle 
or obstruction ahead and may not be able to operate normally. Always drive carefully and 
pay attention to the road ahead.

   NOTE

y

  The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system will operate under the following 

conditions.

y

  The engine is running.

y

y

  The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) detects a vehicle ahead by emitting a near-infrared 

laser beam and receiving the beam refl ected off the refl ector of the vehicle ahead, and 
then using it for the measurement. Consequently, the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) 
may not operate under the following conditions:

y

  Refl ection of the laser is poor due to the shape of the vehicle ahead.

y

  The vehicle ahead is signifi cantly dirty.

y

  Under bad weather condition, such as rain, fog and snow.

y

  The window washer is being used or the windshield wipers are not used when it's 

raining.

y

y

  The steering wheel is turned completely left or right, or the vehicle is accelerated 

rapidly and comes close to the vehicle ahead.
