Smart Brake Support [Rear
Crossing] (SBS-RC)

The SBS-RC is a system designed to assist
the driver in avoiding collisions and to
reduce damage in the event of a collision
by applying the brakes if there is the
possibility of collision with a vehicle
approaching from the rear while you are
reversing out of parking space.
The SBS-RC system detects vehicles
approaching from the rear left and right
sides of the vehicle, and the rear of the
vehicle while the vehicle is being reversed
out of a parking space, the system reduces
damage in the event of a collision by
operating the brake control when the
system determines that a collision is
unavoidable.

SBS-RC operation

1. The SBS-RC system operates when the

shift lever (manual transmission) or the
selector lever (automatic transmission)
is shifted to the reverse (R) position.

2. If there is the possibility of a collision

with an approaching vehicle, the
SBS-RC system applies brake and
displays “BRAKE!” on the active
driving display and the
multi-information display.

WARNING

Always check the surrounding area visually
before actually putting the vehicle in
reverse:

The system is only designed to assist you in
backing out of the lot when putting the
vehicle in reverse. Due to certain limitations
with the operation of this system, the
SBS-RC system may not operate brake or it
might be delayed even though a vehicle is
behind your vehicle. Always make it your
responsibility as a driver to check the rear.

Do not rely completely on the SBS-RC
system:

The SBS-RC 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 SBS-RC system operates in response
to a vehicle. The system does not operate
in response to obstructions such as a
wall, pedestrians, 2-wheeled vehicles, or
animals.
