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, or animals.
