Advanced Smart City Brake Support (Advanced SCBS) (Except The Philippines, Taiwan) (Some Models)
The Advanced Smart City Brake Support (Advanced SCBS) alerts the driver of a possible collision using the display and a warning sound when the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) detects a vehicle ahead or pedestrian and determines that a collision with the object is unavoidable while the vehicle is driven at a vehicle speed of about 4 to 80 km/h (2 to 50 mph) if the object is a vehicle ahead and about 10 to 80 km/h (6.2 to 50 mph) if the object is a pedestrian. In addition, the system reduces damage in the event of a collision by operating the brake control (SCBS brake) when the system determines that a collision is unavoidable. In addition, when the driver depresses the brake pedal, the brakes are applied firmly and quickly to assist. (Brake Assist (Advanced SCBS brake assist))
Do not rely completely on the Advanced Smart City Brake Support (Advanced SCBS) system:
-
The Advanced Smart City Brake Support (Advanced SCBS) 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 Advanced Smart City Brake Support (Advanced SCBS) system operates in response to a vehicle ahead or a pedestrian. The system does not operate in response to obstructions such as a wall, 2-wheeled vehicles, or animals.
In the following cases, turn the system off to prevent a mis-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 off-road.
