OVERVIEW
Your Subaru features a variety of safety
systems that are the culmination of everything
Subaru Engineers know about safety. These
systems are referred to as “Driver Assist
Technologies” and add confidence to every
trip you and your passengers take. Working
together, these systems provide enhanced
awareness, safety, and convenience in front, to
the sides, and behind your Subaru. Subaru
Driver Assist Technologies include:
• EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology
• Rear-Vision Camera
• Front View Monitor
• Blind-Spot Detection (BSD)
• Rear Cross-Traffic Alert (RCTA)
• Reverse Automatic Braking (RAB)
• High Beam Assist (HBA)
• Lane Departure Prevention
• Steering Responsive Headlights (SRH)
OPERATION
EyeSight® is a driver assist technology that
uses dual color cameras to serve as an extra
pair of eyes on the road ahead to identify
vehicles in front, pedestrians, traffic lanes, or
other objects. If need be, the EyeSight®
system can apply the brakes and/or reduce
engine power to help avoid or reduce the
severity of a collision. During these events, the
system will provide audible and visual alerts to
assist you in making decisions.
Since the characteristics and limitations of the
EyeSight® color cameras are similar to
humans, it is important that the cameras,
windshield, and area in front of the cameras are treated with special care. See the Care
and Limitations appendix on page 29 for more details.

vehicle, and the system assists the steering operation by working with the electric power
steering to help keep your vehicle in its lane when driving on expressways, freeways and
interstate highways.
This function can be used when the Adaptive
Cruise Control is activated. When driving at
speeds of 0 mph (0 km/h) to approximately
90 mph (145 km/h), the system detects the
lane markings or the lead vehicle and assists
the driver with steering in order to keep the
vehicle close to the center of the lane.

STEREO CAMERA PRECAUTIONS
Your EyeSight® stereo cameras are precision components that must be kept free from
obstruction and contamination, such as fingerprints or cleaning solutions. When the
system detects that the stereo camera lenses are impaired, a malfunction indicator will be
displayed and EyeSight® functions will not be available.
When you are in the vicinity of the EyeSight® stereo cameras, always observe the following
precautions:
• Do not touch or attempt to clean the EyeSight® camera lenses inside the vehicle. Extra
caution should be used when cleaning the inside of the windshield. Over-spray from
cleaning solutions may impair or even damage the camera lenses. Please inform others
who may attempt to clean the windshield, such as car wash staff, of this precaution.
• Electronic Toll Collection devices, such as EZPassTM, must be installed in an area that
does not obstruct the stereo cameras’ field of vision. See “Prohibited Areas” on page 30.
• Adjust the rearview mirror so it does not obstruct the stereo cameras’ field of vision.
• Do not install any interior rearview mirror accessories, such as a wide-type mirror or
hanging objects. Only approved Genuine SUBARU accessories may be installed.
For more detailed information, please consult your EyeSight® Owner’s Manual.
WINDSHIELD GLASS AND DASHBOARD
Since the characteristics of the EyeSight® stereo cameras are similar to human limitations,
it is important that the area in front of the cameras be kept free from dirt, scratches,
cracks, fogging, or accessories mounted to the windshield, hood or dashboard. Visual
impairments or reflections can affect EyeSight® system performance. Extra caution should
be taken when cleaning the windshield to prevent over-spray from cleaning solutions.
The images in this section outline those areas that must be kept clean and free from
obstruction. See the Owner’s Manual for a complete listing of limitations.
