Smart Brake Support (SBS)
í
Smart Brake Support (SBS) is a system which alerts the driver of a possible collision using
an indicator and warning sound in the instrument cluster while the vehicle is being driven
at about 15 km/h or faster (10 mph or faster) and the system's radar sensor determines that
your vehicle may hit a vehicle ahead. Furthermore, if the radar sensor determines that 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 operate more quickly to
assist the driver (vehicles with brake fluid pre-fill).
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the Smart Brake Support (SBS) system and always drive
carefully:
The Smart Brake Support (SBS) is designed to reduce damage in the event of a
collision, not avoid an accident. The ability to detect an obstruction is limited
depending on the obstruction, weather conditions, or traffic conditions. Therefore, if
the accelerator pedal or brake pedal is mistakenly operated it could result in an
accident. Always verify the safety of the surrounding area and depress the brake
pedal or accelerator pedal while keeping a safer distance from vehicles ahead or on-
coming vehicles.
CAUTION
If the vehicle is towed or you are towing something, switch the Smart Brake Support
(SBS) system off to prevent a mistaken operation.
