Smart Brake Support (SBS)

The SBS alerts the driver of a possible

collision using the warning indications

in the display and a warning sound if

the front radar sensor and Forward

Sensing Camera (FSC) determine that

there is the possibility of a collision

with a vehicle ahead, pedestrian, or a

bicycle. Furthermore, if 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 

fi

rmly

and quickly to assist.

(Vehicles with Driver Monitoring

(DM))

When the SBS determines that the

driver is not paying attention to the

road using the driver monitoring

camera and it determines that there is

the possibility of a collision with an

obstruction, the SBS activates the

collision warning earlier than normal.

WARNING

Do not rely completely on the SBS

:

The SBS is only designed to reduce

damage in the event of a collision.

The ability to detect obstructions is

limited depending on the obstructions,

weather conditions, or tra

c

conditions. Over reliance on the

system leading to the accelerator pedal

or brake pedal being mistakenly

operated could result in an accident.

CAUTION

In the following cases, turn the system

o

 to prevent an unexpected

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 o

-road.

See the next page on how to turn o

the system.

Support (SBS) System Operation on
