 Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) 

*

            The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system is designed to reduce damage in the event 
of a collision by operating the brake control (SCBS brake) when the system's laser sensor 
detects a vehicle ahead and determines that a collision with a vehicle ahead is unavoidable. 
It may also be possible to avoid a collision if the relative speed between your vehicle and a 
vehicle ahead is less than about 15 km/h (9.3 mph).
  In addition, when the driver depresses the brake pedal while the system is in the operation 
range at about 4 to 30 km/h (2 to 18 mph), the brakes are applied fi rmly and quickly to 
assist. (Brake Assist (SCBS brake assist))

WARNING

  Do not rely on the Smart City Brake Support System (SCBS) as a substitute for safe 
driving:

  The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system cannot compensate for unsafe and reckless 
driving, excessive speed, tailgating (following another vehicle too closely), and driving on 
slippery roads such as wet, snowy, and icy roads (reduced tire friction and road contact 
because of water on the road surface). You can still have an accident.
