Smart City Brake Support (SCBS)
This updated system uses a camera to detect preceding vehicles, bikes, motorcycles, and pedestrians in front of the car and control the brakes to support collision avoidance. It helps prevent traffic accidents by alerting you to an impending impact. If you don't apply the brakes in time, the system automatically does it for you.
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)
BSM uses radar sensors to detect objects in your left or right blind spots and then alerts you with a warning light in the side mirror. This upgraded system now also detects vehicles, pedestrians, or bikes from behind and issues an alarm if it is judged to be dangerous when exiting.
