Do not modify the suspension:
If the vehicle height or inclination is
changed, the SBS may not operate
correctly because it cannot detect
obstructions correctly.
Do not hit the rear side radar sensors
and rear ultrasonic sensors forcefully:
When washing the vehicle, do not
spray highly pressurized water against
the rear side radar sensors and the rear
ultrasonic sensors, or rub them
strongly. In addition, do not hit the rear
bumper forcefully when loading and
unloading cargo. Otherwise, the
system will be unable to detect
obstructions correctly and the SBS may
not operate normally.
CAUTION
In the following cases, turn the SBS
o to prevent a mis-operation.
A trailer is pulled or an accessory
such as a bicycle carrier is installed
to the rear of the vehicle.
The vehicle is driven on rough
roads such as in areas where there
is grass and foliage or o-road.
Refer to Stopping the Smart Brake
Support (SBS) System Operation
on page 4-155.
Always use tires for all wheels that
are of the specified size, and the
same manufacture, brand, and tread
pattern. In addition, do not use tires
with significantly dierent wear
patterns on the same vehicle. If such
improper tires are used, the SBS may
not operate normally.
Rearward detection function
The rearward detection function is
designed to reduce damage in the
event of a collision with a target object
when reversing.
The rearward detection function
detects obstructions using the rear
ultrasonic sensors. In addition, if there
is the possibility of your vehicle
colliding with a target object at the rear
while you are driving in reverse, you
are notified of possible danger by a
warning sound and a warning
indication on the display.
Furthermore, if the possibility of a
collision increases, brake control is
performed to reduce damage in the
event of a collision.
WARNING
Always check the surrounding area
visually when reversing the vehicle:
The operation of the rearward
detection function has certain
limitations. Therefore, the function
might not operate or it might be
delayed even if there is a target object
at the rear of your vehicle. Always
make it your responsibility as a driver
to check the rear.
Operation conditions
The rearward detection function
operates when all of the following
conditions are met.

The engine is running.

The SBS is on.

The selector lever is in the R position.
