About EyeSight
EyeSight is a driving support system that uses a range of functions to assist the driver in
making decisions in order to provide for more safe and comfortable driving and to reduce
driver fatigue. Making use of images created by the stereo camera specially designed by
SUBARU, EyeSight detects the vehicle in front, obstacles, traffic lanes and other items.
EyeSight
WARNING
Drivers are responsible for driving safely. Always comply with all traffic
rules and regulations regardless of the fact that your vehicle is
equipped with EyeSight. Always maintain a safe following distance
between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you, pay attention to
your surroundings and driving conditions, and take necessary actions
in order to maintain a safe following distance.
Never attempt to drive relying on EyeSight alone.
EyeSight is intended to assist the driver in making decisions in order
to reduce the risk of accidents or damage and lessen the burden on
the driver.
When an EyeSight warning is activated, pay attention to what is in
front of you and to your surroundings, and take necessary actions.
This system is not designed to support driving in poor visibility or in
extreme weather conditions, or to protect against careless driving
when the driver is not paying complete attention to the road ahead. It
also cannot prevent collisions from occurring in all driving conditions.
There are limits to the EyeSight recognition performance and control
performance. Be sure to read the instructions for each function before
using the system, and always use it properly. Improper use may lead
to failure of control performance, which could cause an accident.
Refer to the following pages for each function:
• For the Pre-Collision Braking System, refer to page 28.
• For Adaptive Cruise Control, refer to page 44.
• For Lane Centering Function, refer to page 73.

CAUTION
• The characteristics of the stereo camera are similar to those of human eyes.
For this reason, conditions that make it difficult for the driver to see in the forward
direction have the same effect on the stereo camera. They also make it
difficult for the system to detect vehicles, obstacles, and traffic lanes.
• Detection by the EyeSight system is limited to objects that are within the
range of the stereo camera’s field of view. Also, after an object enters the
range of the camera’s field of view, it may take some time for the system to
detect it as a controllable target and to warn the driver.
• Under the conditions listed below, it will become more difficult for the system
to detect the vehicle in front, motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrians and obstacles
on the road, and lane markers. Also, EyeSight may temporarily stop operating.
However, the temporary stop will be canceled once these conditions have
improved and the vehicle is driven for a short period of time.
– Bad weather (for example heavy rain, a blizzard or thick fog). In particular,
the system is more likely to temporarily stop operating when there is an oil
film adhering to the windshield, a glass coating has been applied, or poorly
performing wipers are used.
– Strong light is coming from the front (sunlight or headlight beams of oncoming
traffic, etc.).
– The windshield washer is in use.
– Raindrops, water drops, or dirt on the windshield are not wiped off sufficiently.
– The windshield has become fogged, scratched, or snow, dirt, dust or frost
has adhered to it, or it is otherwise affected. These will reduce the stereo
camera’s field of view.
– The vehicle is tilted at an extreme angle due to loaded cargo or other factors.
S01970
Low objects surrounding the vehicle
cannot be detected.

 Continued from previous page
– Visibility is poor due to sand, smoke or water vapor blowing in the wind, or
the front vision is obscured due to water splashes, snow, dirt or dust stir up
generated by the vehicle in front or oncoming traffic.
– The stereo camera’s field of view is obstructed (for example by a canoe on
the roof of the vehicle).
– Through the entrance or exit of a tunnel
– The rear aspect of the vehicle in front is low, small or irregular (for example
a low bed trailer, etc.).
– The obstacle is a fence, a wall or a shutter, etc. with a uniform pattern (a
striped pattern, brick, etc.) or with no pattern in front.
– The obstacle is a wall or door made of glass or a mirror in front.
– Driving at night or in a tunnel when there is a vehicle in front that does not
have its taillights on
– Driving through a banner or flag, low branches on a tree or thick/tall vegetation
– On steep uphill or downhill grades
– The stereo camera is obstructed by a hand, etc. (If even one of the lenses is
obstructed, the system does not operate properly.)
– It is completely dark and no objects are detected.
– The area around the vehicle has a uniform color (such as when completely
covered in snow, etc.).
– Accurate detection is not possible due to reflections in the windshield.
• Under the conditions listed below, EyeSight may temporarily stop operating. If
this occurs, EyeSight will resume operating when the conditions improve.
– The temperature inside the vehicle is high, such as after the vehicle was left
in bright sunshine, or the temperature inside the vehicle is low, such as after
the vehicle was left in an extremely cold environment.
– Immediately after the engine starts
• Under the conditions listed below, it is difficult to recognize vehicles in front,
motorcycles, pedestrians, obstacles on the road, traffic lanes, etc. Also, the
EyeSight system may temporarily stop operating. If the EyeSight system
repeatedly stops operating several times, contact a SUBARU dealer and have
the system inspected.
– The stereo camera lenses are smeared such as from fingerprints.
– The stereo camera has become misaligned due to a strong impact.

The stereo camera is located on the front map
lights unit.
Handling of the Stereo Camera
CAUTION
• The stereo camera monitors and detects smears or blurs on the front of the
camera. However, detection is not 100% accurate.
Under certain conditions, the function may fail to detect smears or blurs on
the front of the stereo camera accurately. In addition, this function may not
detect that there is snow or ice on the windshield close to the stereo camera.
In such conditions, be sure to keep the windshield clean at all times (indicated
by ). Otherwise the system may not operate correctly. When this function
detects that the front of the stereo camera is smeared or blurred, no
EyeSight functions can be activated except for Conventional Cruise Control.
• The stereo camera lenses are precision components. Always observe the following
precautions especially when handling them.
– Never touch the stereo camera lenses, and do not attempt to wipe or clean
the lenses. Doing so could damage or soil the lens, and lead to improper
system performance.

EyeSight includes the following functions.
■Pre-Collision Braking System
This function uses a following distance warning feature to warn the driver to take evasive
action when there is the possibility of a collision with a vehicle or obstacle in front of you. If
the driver does not take evasive action, the brakes are applied automatically to help reduce
vehicle collision damage or, if possible, help prevent a collision.
 Page 28
■Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control
Adaptive Cruise Control
This function maintains the set vehicle speed and when there is a vehicle in front in the
same traffic lane, it follows the speed of the vehicle in front up to the maximum of the set
vehicle speed.
 Page 44
Lane Centering Function
This function helps suppress lane drifting by detecting lane markings (e.g., white lines) and
the lead vehicle on expressways, freeways and interstate highways, and by assisting steering
operation. Lane Centering Function will work only when the Adaptive Cruise Control is
activated.
 Page 73
■Lane Departure Prevention Function
When driving on expressways, freeways, or interstate highways, the system recognizes the
lane markings on both sides of the vehicle. If the vehicle appears likely to depart from the
lane, the system assists with steering operation in the direction that prevents the lane
departure, preventing the vehicle from leaving the lane.

■Pre-Collision Throttle Management
This function reduces accidental forward movement caused by the select lever being placed
in the wrong position or the accelerator pedal being accidentally depressed, or depressed
too strongly.
 Page 95
■Lane Departure Warning
This function warns the driver when the vehicle is about to drift off the road.
 Page 101
■Lane Sway Warning
This function warns the driver when it detects vehicle drifting caused by driver fatigue, failure
to concentrate on the road, inattention, strong crosswinds or other factors.
 Page 104
■Lead Vehicle Start Alert
This function notifies the driver when the vehicle stopped in front starts moving but the
driver’s vehicle remains stationary.
 Page 107
■Conventional Cruise Control
In this mode, the system maintains a constant vehicle speed. It does not follow the vehicle
in front. This function can be used even when the stereo camera has temporarily stopped
operating ( page 123). This function is used by switching from Adaptive Cruise Control to
Conventional Cruise Control.

Pre-Collision Braking System
When there is the risk of a rear-end collision with an obstacle in front, the EyeSight system
helps to prevent or minimize a collision by warning the driver. If the driver still does not take
evasive action to avoid a collision, the brakes can be automatically applied just before the
collision in order to reduce impact damage, or if possible, prevent the collision. If the driver
takes evasive action to avoid a collision, Pre-Collision Braking Assist will operate in order to
help the driver to prevent or minimize the collision.
This system can be effective not only with direct rear-end collisions, but also with offset
rear-end collisions. This function can be activated when the select lever is in the , or
positions.
WARNING
• Never use the Pre-Collision Braking System and Pre-Collision Braking Assist
to stop your car or avoid a collision under ordinary conditions. These functions
cannot prevent collisions under all conditions. If the driver relies only on the
Pre-Collision Braking System for Brake operation, collisions may occur.
• When a warning is activated, pay attention to the front of the vehicle and its
surroundings, and operate the brake pedal and/or take other actions if necessary.
• The EyeSight Pre-Collision Braking System is primarily designed to prevent
rear-end collisions with other vehicles when possible or to minimize damage
and injuries in the event of a collision. In addition to other vehicles, things
such as motorbikes, bicycles and pedestrians can also be treated as obstacles.
However, there may be cases when detection is not possible depending
on a variety of conditions*2. For example, when a vehicle is viewed from the
side, oncoming vehicle, vehicles approaching in reverse, small animals or
children, or walls or doors are not likely to be detected.
• The Pre-Collision Braking System will operate at the point when it determines
that a collision cannot be avoided and is designed to apply strong braking
force just before a collision. The result of this varies depending on a variety of
conditions*2. Because of this, performance of this function will not always be
the same.
• When the Pre-Collision Braking System is activated, it will continue to operate
even if the accelerator pedal is partially depressed. However, it will be canceled
if the accelerator pedal is suddenly or fully depressed.
• If the driver depresses the brake pedal or turns the steering wheel, the system
may determine that this constitutes evasive action by the driver, and the automatic
braking control may not activate in order to allow the driver full control.

• When the difference in speed with the obstacle in front is the following figure*1
or more, it may not be possible to avoid a collision. Even if the speed difference
is the following figure*1 or less, in cases such as when another vehicle
cuts in front of you, or in other cases depending on visibility, the condition of
road surface and other factors*2, the function may be unable to stop the vehicle
or may not activate. Pre-Collision Braking Assist also may not activate
depending on the conditions*2 listed below.
*1: For vehicles: approximately 30 mph (50 km/h),
For pedestrians: approximately 21 mph (35 km/h)
*2: Conditions in which the Pre-Collision Braking System cannot detect obstacles:
– Distance to obstacle in front of you, speed difference, proximity conditions,
lateral displacement (the amount of offset)
– Vehicle conditions (amount of load, number of occupants, etc.)
– Road conditions (grade, slipperiness, shape, bumps, etc.)
– Visibility ahead is poor (rain, snow, fog or smoke, etc.).
– The detected object is something other than a vehicle, motorcycle, bicycle
or pedestrian.
• A domestic animal or other animal (a dog or deer, etc.)
• A guardrail, telephone pole, tree, fence or wall, etc.
– Even if the obstacle is a motorcycle, bicycle or pedestrian, depending on the
brightness of the surroundings as well as the relative movement, and
aspect or angle of the object, there may be cases when the system cannot
detect it.
– The system determines that operation by the driver (based on accelerator
pedal operation, braking, steering wheel angle, etc.) is intended as evasive
action.
– Vehicle maintenance status (brake systems, tire wear, tire pressure,
whether a temporary spare tire is being used, etc.)
– A trailer or another vehicle, etc. is being towed.
– The brakes are cold due to the outside temperature being low or just after
starting the engine.
– The brakes are overheated on downhill grades (braking performance is
reduced).
– In rain or after washing the vehicle (the brakes are wet and braking performance
is reduced)

When there is an obstacle in front of you during driving, the system activates in the following
sequence in order to warn the driver and to activate braking control and the brake lights.
Following Distance Warning:
When the system determines that there is a risk of collision, an alert sounds repeated short
beeps and the indicators on the combination meter display illuminate to warn the driver.
The Following Distance Warning operates when Adaptive Cruise Control is not activated.
When the driver depresses the brake pedal to decelerate and achieves a suitable following
distance, the warning is canceled.
First Braking and Warning:
When the system determines that there is a high risk of collision with an obstacle in front, an
alert sounds repeated short beeps and the indicators on the combination meter display illuminate
to warn the driver. Braking control may be activated and in some situations, engine
output may also be controlled. If the system determines that the amount of evasive action
(braking, steering, etc.) taken by the driver has reduced the risk of collision, braking activation
is canceled.
Secondary Braking and Warning:
If the system then determines that the risk of collision is extremely high, the alert changes to
a continuous beeping sound and stronger braking control is activated. Despite any evasive
action taken by the driver, if the system subsequently determines that a collision is unavoidable,
braking and engine output are controlled by the system.
When the vehicle is stopped by secondary braking, the driver should depress the brake
pedal in order to ensure that the vehicle stays stopped.

Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control
Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control is a driving support system that is intended to assist drivers
when driving on an expressway (including during congestion and when driving at high
speed). The Adaptive Cruise Control ( page 44) and Lane Centering Function ( page
73) which operates linked with the Adaptive Cruise Control are used to assist with driving by
automatically controlling the accelerator, brake, and steering.
Adaptive Cruise Control is a driving support system intended to allow more comfortable
driving on expressways, freeways and interstate highways. The stereo camera detects vehicles
in front that are driving in the same traffic lane, and your vehicle follows the vehicle in
front (up to the maximum speed of the set vehicle speed). While following, your vehicle will
automatically maintain a following distance that corresponds to the speed of the vehicle in
front. When the vehicle in front comes to a complete stop, your vehicle will also be stopped
and the electronic parking brake will be automatically applied. The vehicle is capable of
being controlled at a speed between 0 mph (0 km/h) and approximately 90 mph (145 km/h).
Please remember that you should not exceed posted speed limits.
Adaptive Cruise Control
WARNING
• This system does not provide the driver with an automatic driving function that
handles all traffic conditions.
• Do not rely excessively on Adaptive Cruise Control. This system is not
intended to assist in driving when the driver is not paying full attention to what
is ahead of him/her due to distractions or a lack of concentration while driving,
or under conditions of poor visibility. It is not intended to prevent rear-end collisions.
Strive for safe driving at all times. Always maintain a safe following distance
behind the vehicle in front of you, pay attention to your surroundings and the
driving conditions, and operate the brake pedal and take other actions as necessary.
• When using Adaptive Cruise Control, always set the speed according to the
speed limit, traffic flow, road conditions, and other conditions.
• Before using the system, perform a daily inspection and verify that there are
no malfunctions of the tires or brakes.

– Extremely heavy cargo is loaded in the cargo area or rear seat of your vehicle.
• There are limits to the situation judgment capabilities of the Adaptive Cruise
Control system. Deceleration may not take place in time in the following situations.
Apply the brake pedal to decelerate the vehicle if necessary.
– The speed difference with the vehicle in front is too large or the vehicle in
front decelerates unexpectedly.
– The decelerating vehicle in front unexpectedly slows down or suddenly
brakes.
• If the alert/notification sounds frequently, do not use Adaptive Cruise Control.
• Even when the following distance is short, the “Obstacle Detected” warning
may not activate in the following situations.
– The difference in speed with the vehicle in front is small. The two vehicles
are traveling at almost the same speed.
– The vehicle in front is traveling faster than your vehicle. The following distance
is gradually increasing.
– Another vehicle cuts into your lane very close to your vehicle.

CAUTION
• After Adaptive Cruise Control has started, it maintains control continuously
according to the movement of the vehicle in front. When your vehicle comes
to a stop if the vehicle in front has stopped, the stay-stopped function is
engaged. However, if the EyeSight stereo camera has lost detection of the
vehicle in front, the system may not stop your vehicle. Operate the brake
pedal and maintain the correct following distance as necessary. Be aware
that the EyeSight system has difficulty detecting objects or vehicles that have
a relative speed in comparison to your vehicle. Therefore, if the EyeSight system
loses detection just as you are approaching a line of stopped cars, for
example, you will have to brake manually.
• There is no possibility that the vehicle will automatically begin moving from a
stay-stopped condition without operation from the driver.
• If the conditions for automatically canceling cruise control ( page 67) are
met while the vehicle is stay-stopped, Adaptive Cruise Control is canceled.
For safety reasons, the electronic parking brake is automatically applied.
• Braking may not be sufficient depending on the following conditions. Depress
the brake pedal and decelerate as necessary.
– Vehicle conditions (amount of load, number of occupants, etc.)
– Road conditions (grade, slipperiness, shape, bumps, etc.)
– Vehicle maintenance condition (brake systems, tire wear, air pressure, temporary
spare tire is being used, etc.)
– The brakes are cold. (For example, just after the engine is started or the
outside temperature is low.)
– For a short period of time when driving after the engine is started until the
engine has warmed-up
– The brakes are overheated on downhill grades (braking performance may
be reduced).
– In rain or after washing the vehicle (the brakes may become wet and braking
performance may be reduced.)

When a vehicle in front is detected, a notification
sounds 1 short beep and the lead
vehicle indicator will illuminate.
The vehicle follows the lead vehicle in
front and maintains the selected following
distance. At this time, the cruise speed is
adjusted to and will not exceed the set
speed. If the vehicle in front is no longer
detected, a notification sounds 1 short
beep and the lead vehicle indicator turns
off. While the driver accelerates the vehicle
by depressing the acceleration pedal, (Adaptive Cruise Control indicator) will
turn from green to white. When acceleration has stopped, (Adaptive Cruise Control
indicator) will turn from white to green.
NOTE
• The target vehicle speed can be set between 20 mph (30 km/h) and 90 mph
(145 km/h).
• If the vehicle speed is approximately 20 mph (30 km/h) or less when the vehicle
speed is set, the set vehicle speed is set to 20 mph (30 km/h).
• When driving on a curve, the vehicle may not accelerate, or may decelerate,
even if the set speed is higher than the current vehicle speed.
• If (Adaptive Cruise Control indicator) does not illuminate, even when the
(CRUISE) switch is pressed, Adaptive Cruise Control will not operate.
• If (Adaptive Cruise Control indicator) does not illuminate even when the
(CRUISE) switch is pressed and this occurs frequently, there may be a

Operation of Adaptive Cruise Control
• When no vehicle in front is detected
The vehicle drives constantly and correspondingly
to the set vehicle speed
between 20 mph (30 km/h) and 90 mph
(145 km/h).
• When a vehicle in front is detected
The vehicle follows the lead vehicle in front,
and will maintain the chosen following distance
(there are four settings), up to the set
target vehicle speed between 20 mph (30
km/h) and 90 mph (145 km/h).
• If your vehicle no longer detects the vehicle
in front
The vehicle gradually accelerates back to
the set target vehicle speed and will drive at
that constant speed.
If a vehicle in front is detected while accelerating
to the set target vehicle speed, vehicle
following will be started again.
CAUTION
If the driver operates the brake pedal during automatic braking, the pedal may
feel stiff; however, this is not a malfunction. By depressing the brake pedal further
you can apply more braking force. When the brake pedal is released it will
return to its original condition.
S01979
S01980
S01981
Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control
56
NOTE
• When the brakes are applied by Adaptive Cruise Control, the vehicle’s brake
lights will illuminate.
• Even if there is no lead vehicle present, on a downhill grade, the Adaptive
Cruise Control’s automatic brake may operate in order to maintain the set target
vehicle speed.
• Some noises may be audible during automatic braking. This is caused by the
braking control and does not indicate a malfunction.
• To temporarily accelerate quickly, use the accelerator pedal. After accelerating,
the vehicle will gradually return to the set target vehicle speed shown in
the set vehicle speed display.
• If the vehicle in front is no longer detected while your vehicle is still controlled
by the automatic braking operation, the brake will be automatically released
gradually. Depress the accelerator pedal if necessary.
• The lead-vehicle following function has the following characteristics:
– If the lead vehicle’s brake lights are detected, deceleration will start earlier
than without detection.
– If the vehicle moves to the fast lane while traveling more than 37 mph (60
km/h), the system starts acceleration to the set vehicle speed more quickly
because it is linked with the turn signal.
– If the setting of Driving Lane Customize is different from the actual driving
direction, the vehicle may start to accelerate faster than usual when the
driver signals a lane change to move from the passing lane to the driving
lane.

●Increasing the set vehicle target speed
Using the RES/SET switch
While driving with Adaptive Cruise Control on, operate the RES/SET switch as follows.
• Push to the “RES/+” side briefly.
Every time the switch is pushed, the set
vehicle target speed will increase to the
next 5 mph (5 km/h) increment.
• Push to the “RES/+” side continuously.
While the switch is being pushed, the set
vehicle target speed will increase in increments
of 1 mph (1 km/h).
When operating the switch, the set vehicle
target speed changes on the combination
meter display.
Using the accelerator pedal
Depressing the accelerator pedal will increase
vehicle speed. Once the preferred speed has
been attained, push the RES/SET switch to
the “SET/-” side. When the switch is pressed,
the new vehicle target speed will be set. The
new set vehicle speed will be displayed on the
EyeSight display area.
S03395
S03396
Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control
58
CAUTION
• When Adaptive Cruise Control is operating, the actual vehicle speed is controlled
according to the lead vehicle. Therefore, if the RES/SET switch is
pressed to the “RES/+” side and set to a speed higher than the speed of the
lead vehicle, the vehicle will not accelerate; it will maintain a safe following
distance as the first priority. However, because doing so changed the set
vehicle target speed, when the lead vehicle is no longer detected (for example,
if you change to a freeway lane with no vehicles in front), the vehicle will
accelerate to that new set target speed. Change the set vehicle target speed
while briefly checking the value shown in the set speed display on the
EyeSight display.
• When the accelerator pedal is depressed with Adaptive Cruise Control on,
automatic braking control and warnings by Adaptive Cruise Control will not
occur. However, if there is a high risk of collision with an obstacle in front of
the vehicle at this time, the warning and braking control of the Pre-Collision
Braking System may activate.

Lane Departure Prevention Function
The system detects lane markings in order to help prevent departure from the lane. If you
drive on expressways, freeways or interstate highways at speeds above approximately 37
mph (60 km/h) and the vehicle is about to depart from the lane, the system assists the steering
operation by turning it to the direction that will help prevent the lane departure.

Lane Departure Prevention Function is not an automatic driving system.
Do not overestimate the capabilities of Lane Departure Prevention
Function. It is not a system to assist inattentive driving or meant to
permit driving without holding the steering wheel. Make sure to grip
the steering wheel while driving. To drive safely, check the distance
from the vehicle in front or from a vehicle driving in parallel with your
vehicle, the surrounding conditions and the surrounding environment
while driving.
If you feel that the level of control and timing by the system are different from
your own driving style, the system may not support safe driving. Do not use Lane
Departure Prevention Function.
Lane Departure Prevention Function does not always operate under all situations.
If you rely only on the Lane Departure Prevention Function to stay in a
lane, it may cause an accident such as a collision with an obstacle beside your
lane or with a vehicle driving in an adjacent lane.

Pre-Collision Throttle Management
When an obstacle is detected in front of the
vehicle, and the vehicle is stopped or traveling
very slowly, if the system determines that the
accelerator pedal has been depressed by
more than the necessary amount (due to
driver error), it greatly restricts engine output
and ensures that vehicle forward movement is
slower than normal in order to give the driver
additional time to brake or react.
During system operation, an alert will sound
several short beeps and an interruption
screen will be displayed.
This function only activates when the select
lever is in the or position.

WARNING
Do not rely excessively on Pre-Collision Throttle Management. Pre-
Collision Throttle Management is not designed to help you avoid collisions
in all situations. Always check the select lever and pedal positions
as well as the surrounding environment before starting and
operating the vehicle. Relying only on Pre-Collision Throttle Management
could result in an accident.
• Pre-Collision Throttle Management is not designed to maintain the vehicle in

Adaptive Cruise Control cannot be activated.
Did you remember to press the (CRUISE) switch?
If you have not pressed the (CRUISE) switch, (Adaptive Cruise Control
indicator) will not be shown.
Is EyeSight operation temporarily stopped?
When EyeSight is temporarily stopped, (EyeSight temporary stop indicator)
is displayed on the combination meter display.
Set Adaptive Cruise Control again after the cause for the temporary stop has been
corrected.
Is (READY indicator) displayed?
Adaptive Cruise Control cannot be activated when (READY indicator) is not

pages.
 Page 52 (Adaptive Cruise Control)
 Page 110 (Conventional Cruise Control)
Troubleshooting
133
A vehicle (in front of your vehicle) is not detected, detection is delayed or detection
is lost quickly.
Is the vehicle in front stopped, moving slowly relative to your vehicle or moving
extremely slowly?
Detection of stopped vehicles, vehicle moving slowly relative to your vehicle, and
vehicles moving extremely slowly may be difficult.
Is the windshield dirty or fogged?
If the windshield is dirty or fogged, it may not be possible to detect object or vehicles.
Clean off the dirt or fog from the windshield, and then try using the system
again.
Is the vehicle in front far away?
The maximum detection distance of EyeSight’s stereo camera is approximately
360 ft (110 m). Detection is not possible if the vehicle is farther away.
Is the vehicle on a curve?
The detection range is limited in the horizontal directions when the stereo camera
is properly aimed.
Is the vehicle on a road with repeated uphill and downhill grades (such as an overpass),
or on a banked road?
The detection range is limited in the vertical directions.
Did the vehicle detected in front change?
Detection may be delayed after the vehicle in front has changed.
Have water, snow or other substances been kicked up by the vehicle in front as it
drives?
When water or snow have been kicked up, it may not be possible to detect the
vehicle in front.
Adaptive Cruise Control is activated even though there is no vehicle in front
detected.
Is there a vehicle in the neighboring lane?
Depending on the road conditions, vehicles in neighboring lanes may be detected
as well as a vehicle directly in front.
Are you driving on or near a curve?
When driving on a curve, braking control may be activated in response to guardrails,
the angle of the steering wheel, or roadside structures.
Troubleshooting
134
The Lead Vehicle Start Alert activates, even though there is no vehicle in front.
Depending on surrounding objects, traffic environment and weather, the Lead
Vehicle Start Alert may issue a warning in response to objects other than a vehicle
that appears in front of your vehicle.
EyeSight does not restart after a temporary stop.
Are you driving in the rain with poorly performing wipers or is there an oily film on
the windshield?
Replace the wipers with new ones, or clean the oily film off the windshield.
Are you driving in poor weather conditions with heavy rain, snow, fog, or dust? In
these cases, EyeSight may temporarily stop operating while visibility is very poor.
Is your vehicle subject to sunlight from the front (sunset or sunrise, etc.) or to
bright headlights from oncoming vehicles at nighttime?
In these cases, EyeSight may temporarily stop operating.
Are you parking in an extremely hot or cold condition? In either of these cases,
EyeSight may temporarily stop operating until the temperature increases or
decreases to a temperature at which the camera is operable.
The timing of the “Obstacle Detected” warning is sometimes earlier or sometimes
later than what seems to be normal operation.
The “Obstacle Detected” warning sounds when the system determines that more
braking is necessary, based on conditions such as the distance from the vehicle in
front and the difference in speed compared to it. As a result, timing may vary
depending on how the brakes are applied in relation to the vehicle in front, and
your relative speed to that vehicle.
When the vehicle in front has turned off the roadway or the distance from the vehicle
in front has increased, acceleration is sometimes slower or faster.
Depending on the timing of when the detection of the vehicle in front is lost,
EyeSight’s ability to react may be slower, causing the start of acceleration to feel
delayed and braking time to feel longer than what seems to be normal operation.
What acceleration level did you select for cruise control*?
Acceleration may vary because the cruise control characteristics vary depending
on the selected mode.
*: Adaptive Cruise Control and Conventional Cruise Control
Troubleshooting
135
Cruise control is canceled automatically.
Did you perform one of the following operations?
 Page 66 (Adaptive Cruise Control)
 Page 115 (Conventional Cruise Control)
Has the EyeSight system temporarily stopped while the Adaptive Cruise Control
function was in use?
A noise occurs when automatic braking control activates.
This is the sound of the automatic braking control operating – there are some
mechanical components to the system, and they do occasionally make audible
sounds during automatic braking control. This does not indicate a malfunction.
Braking control activates frequently when driving with Adaptive Cruise Control in
heavy traffic.
When Adaptive Cruise Control is activated, the EyeSight system performs control
based on the movement of vehicles or objects in front. As a result, acceleration
and deceleration may be more frequent while the system adjusts to vehicles or
objects the camera system is detecting. If it is difficult to maintain a consistent following
distance under certain conditions (such as in heavy traffic, poor weather or
urban environments, etc.), do not use Adaptive Cruise Control.
The electronic parking brake is applied automatically while the stay-stopped function
is operating.
The electronic parking brake will be applied in the following cases.
• The stay-stopped function ( page 62) is continuously applied for approximately
2 minutes.
• Automatic cancel conditions ( page 67) have been met.
The engine is stopped while the stay-stopped function of Adaptive Cruise Control
engages.
Does the Auto Start Stop indicator (green) illuminate?
This engine stop occurs as a result of the operation of the Auto Start Stop system.
It does not indicate a malfunction.
Troubleshooting
136
The Auto Start Stop system does not stop the engine while the stay-stopped function
of Adaptive Cruise Control is engaged.
For information about the operation conditions of the Auto Start Stop system, refer
to the Owner’s Manual for your vehicle.
The engine does not restart after it has been automatically stopped while the staystopped
function of Adaptive Cruise Control has been engaged.

Making use of images created by the stereo camera specially designed by SUBARU, EyeSight detects the vehicle in front, obstacles, traffic lanes and other items. EyeSight WARNING Drivers are responsible for driving safely. Always comply with all traffic rules and regulations regardless of the fact that your vehicle is equipped with EyeSight. Always maintain a safe following distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you, pay attention to your surroundings and driving conditions, and take necessary actions in order to maintain a safe following distance. Never attempt to drive relying on EyeSight alone. EyeSight is intended to assist the driver in making decisions in order to reduce the risk of accidents or damage and lessen the burden on the driver. When an EyeSight warning is activated, pay attention to what is in front of you and to your surroundings, and take necessary actions. This system is not designed to support driving in poor visibility or in extreme weather conditions, or to protect against careless driving when the driver is not paying complete attention to the road ahead. It also cannot prevent collisions from occurring in all driving conditions. There are limits to the EyeSight recognition performance and control performance. Be sure to read the instructions for each function before using the system, and always use it properly. Improper use may lead to failure of control performance, which could cause an accident. Refer to the following pages for each function: • For the Pre-Collision Braking System, refer to page 28. • For Adaptive Cruise Control, refer to page 44. • For Lane Centering Function, refer to page 73. • For Lane Departure Prevention Function, refer to page 86. • For Pre-Collision Throttle Management, refer to page 95. • For Lane Departure Warning, refer to page 101. • For Lane Sway Warning, refer to page 104. • For Lead Vehicle Start Alert, refer to page 107. • For Conventional Cruise Control, refer to page 108.

For details, refer to the Owner’s Manual for your vehicle. *3: For details about the combination meter, refer to the Owner’s Manual for your vehicle. About EyeSight 7 Continued on next page  CAUTION • The characteristics of the stereo camera are similar to those of human eyes. For this reason, conditions that make it difficult for the driver to see in the forward direction have the same effect on the stereo camera. They also make it difficult for the system to detect vehicles, obstacles, and traffic lanes. • Detection by the EyeSight system is limited to objects that are within the range of the stereo camera’s field of view. Also, after an object enters the range of the camera’s field of view, it may take some time for the system to detect it as a controllable target and to warn the driver. • Under the conditions listed below, it will become more difficult for the system to detect the vehicle in front, motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrians and obstacles on the road, and lane markers. Also, EyeSight may temporarily stop operating. However, the temporary stop will be canceled once these conditions have improved and the vehicle is driven for a short period of time. – Bad weather (for example heavy rain, a blizzard or thick fog). In particular, the system is more likely to temporarily stop operating when there is an oil film adhering to the windshield, a glass coating has been applied, or poorly performing wipers are used. – Strong light is coming from the front (sunlight or headlight beams of oncoming traffic, etc.). – The windshield washer is in use. – Raindrops, water drops, or dirt on the windshield are not wiped off sufficiently. – The windshield has become fogged, scratched, or snow, dirt, dust or frost has adhered to it, or it is otherwise affected. These will reduce the stereo camera’s field of view. – The vehicle is tilted at an extreme angle due to loaded cargo or other factors. S01970 Low objects surrounding the vehicle cannot be detected. About EyeSight 8  Continued from previous page – Visibility is poor due to sand, smoke or water vapor blowing in the wind, or the front vision is obscured due to water splashes, snow, dirt or dust stir up generated by the vehicle in front or oncoming traffic. – The stereo camera’s field of view is obstructed (for example by a canoe on the roof of the vehicle). – Through the entrance or exit of a tunnel – The rear aspect of the vehicle in front is low, small or irregular (for example a low bed trailer, etc.). – The obstacle is a fence, a wall or a shutter, etc. with a uniform pattern (a striped pattern, brick, etc.) or with no pattern in front. – The obstacle is a wall or door made of glass or a mirror in front. – Driving at night or in a tunnel when there is a vehicle in front that does not have its taillights on – Driving through a banner or flag, low branches on a tree or thick/tall vegetation – On steep uphill or downhill grades – The stereo camera is obstructed by a hand, etc. (If even one of the lenses is obstructed, the system does not operate properly.) – It is completely dark and no objects are detected. – The area around the vehicle has a uniform color (such as when completely covered in snow, etc.). – Accurate detection is not possible due to reflections in the windshield. • Under the conditions listed below, EyeSight may temporarily stop operating. If this occurs, EyeSight will resume operating when the conditions improve. – The temperature inside the vehicle is high, such as after the vehicle was left in bright sunshine, or the temperature inside the vehicle is low, such as after the vehicle was left in an extremely cold environment. – Immediately after the engine starts • Under the conditions listed below, it is difficult to recognize vehicles in front, motorcycles, pedestrians, obstacles on the road, traffic lanes, etc. Also, the EyeSight system may temporarily stop operating. If the EyeSight system repeatedly stops operating several times, contact a SUBARU dealer and have the system inspected. – The stereo camera lenses are smeared such as from fingerprints. – The stereo camera has become misaligned due to a strong impact. About EyeSight 9 • When there is a malfunction in the EyeSight system, turn off the Pre-Collision Braking System ( page 42) and the Lane Departure Warning ( page 103), and stop using the Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Centering Function, Lane Departure Prevention Function and Conventional Cruise Control. Contact a SUBARU dealer and have the system inspected. • When the Vehicle Dynamics Control warning light is illuminated, the Pre-Collision Braking System may not operate properly. If the indicator light is illuminated, turn off the Pre-Collision Braking System. Also, do not use the Adaptive Cruise Control or Conventional Cruise Control. NOTE EyeSight records and stores the following data when the Pre-Collision Braking System is operated. It does not record conversations or other audio data. • Stereo camera image data • Distance from the vehicle in front • Vehicle speed • Steering wheel turning angle • Lateral movement with regards to the direction of travel • Accelerator pedal operation status • Brake pedal operation status • Select lever position • Odometer reading • Data related to ABS, Vehicle Dynamics Control and Traction Control Function SUBARU and third parties contracted by SUBARU may acquire and use the recorded data for the purpose of vehicle research and development. SUBARU and third parties contracted by SUBARU will not disclose or provide the acquired data to any other third party except under the following conditions. – The vehicle owner has given his/her consent. – The disclosure/provision is based on a court order or other legally enforceable request. – Data that has been modified so that the user and vehicle cannot be identified is provided to a research institution for statistical processing or similar purposes. About EyeSight 10 The stereo camera is located on the front map lights unit. Handling of the Stereo Camera CAUTION • The stereo camera monitors and detects smears or blurs on the front of the camera. However, detection is not 100% accurate. Under certain conditions, the function may fail to detect smears or blurs on the front of the stereo camera accurately. In addition, this function may not detect that there is snow or ice on the windshield close to the stereo camera. In such conditions, be sure to keep the windshield clean at all times (indicated by ). Otherwise the system may not operate correctly. When this function detects that the front of the stereo camera is smeared or blurred, no EyeSight functions can be activated except for Conventional Cruise Control. • The stereo camera lenses are precision components. Always observe the following precautions especially when handling them. – Never touch the stereo camera lenses, and do not attempt to wipe or clean the lenses. Doing so could damage or soil the lens, and lead to improper system performance. If you ever touch a lens for any reason, be sure to contact a SUBARU dealer. A S01107 Stereo camera About EyeSight 11 Continued on next page  – When cleaning the windshield, cover the front of the camera casing with paper that does not collect dust, such as copy paper. Affix the paper to prevent glass cleaner from getting on the camera lenses. At this point, make sure that the tape’s adhesive surface does not come in contact with the windshield or the lens. Be sure to remove the paper after cleaning. – When having the inside of windshield cleaned at a service station, etc., be sure to request that the attendant covers the camera covers before washing the vehicle. – Do not subject the stereo camera to a strong impact. – Do not remove or disassemble the stereo camera. – Do not change the positions where the stereo camera is installed or modify any of the surrounding structures. • Do not install an interior rearview mirror other than a genuine SUBARU rearview mirror (such as a wide-type mirror) and the sun visor. Also, use the rearview mirror so that it does not obstruct the stereo camera. Failure to do so may affect the stereo camera’s field of view and could prevent the EyeSight system from functioning properly. S03066 S00509 About EyeSight 12  Continued from previous page • Do not install any accessories other than the ones designated by SUBARU on the prohibited areas shown in the illustrations (gray zones). Even if some accessories are installed on the outside of the prohibited areas, abnormal operation of EyeSight may occur due to the reflection of the light or any objects. In this situation, move the accessories. For details, contact a SUBARU dealer. • Do not place any objects on top of the instrument panel. The stereo camera may not be able to detect objects accurately and the EyeSight system may not function properly due to reflections in the windshield. For details, contact a SUBARU dealer. • If the top of the instrument panel is polished with chemicals or other substances, the stereo camera may not be able to detect objects accurately and the EyeSight system may not operate properly due to reflections in the windshield. • Do not install any wiper blades other than genuine SUBARU wiper blades. Doing so may affect the stereo camera’s field of view and could prevent the EyeSight system from functioning properly. • Replace damaged wiper blades or worn wiper blade rubbers as soon as possible. Using damaged wiper blades or worn wiper blade rubbers may cause streaking on the windshield. The stereo camera may not be able to detect objects accurately and the EyeSight system may not function properly due to streaks or droplets remaining on the windshield. Monitors or other accessories S02664 Side view Front view About EyeSight 13 • Do not install any accessories on the front side such as on the hood or the grille. It may affect the camera view and the system may not operate correctly. • Make sure that the cargo loaded on the roof does not interfere in the stereo camera’s field of view. Obstructing the stereo camera’s view may impair the system operation. For details, contact a SUBARU dealer. • Keep the windshield (outside and inside) clean at all times. When the windshield has become fogged, or it has a dirt or an oil film on it, the stereo camera may not detect objects accurately and the EyeSight system may not operate correctly. Never mount any device to the center air vent, as any airflow change may impact performance of the EyeSight system. • Do not place any stickers or accessories on the windshield (outside or inside). If you have to do so (for example, legally required or electronic toll tag), avoid the area directly in front of the camera. Otherwise, it may adversely affect the field of view of the stereo camera and can cause improper operation of the system. For details, contact a SUBARU dealer. • Do not use any glass coating agents or similar substances on the windshield. Doing so may interfere with the proper operation of the system. • Do not install any film or an additional layer of glass on the windshield. The system may not operate correctly. • If there are scratches or cracks on the windshield, contact a SUBARU dealer. • To have the windshield replaced or repaired, contact a SUBARU dealer. Do not install a windshield other than a genuine SUBARU windshield. The stereo camera may not be able to detect objects accurately and the EyeSight system may not operate properly. S01098 About EyeSight 14 EyeSight includes the following functions. ■Pre-Collision Braking System This function uses a following distance warning feature to warn the driver to take evasive action when there is the possibility of a collision with a vehicle or obstacle in front of you. If the driver does not take evasive action, the brakes are applied automatically to help reduce vehicle collision damage or, if possible, help prevent a collision.  Page 28 ■Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control Adaptive Cruise Control This function maintains the set vehicle speed and when there is a vehicle in front in the same traffic lane, it follows the speed of the vehicle in front up to the maximum of the set vehicle speed.  Page 44 Lane Centering Function This function helps suppress lane drifting by detecting lane markings (e.g., white lines) and the lead vehicle on expressways, freeways and interstate highways, and by assisting steering operation. Lane Centering Function will work only when the Adaptive Cruise Control is activated.  Page 73 ■Lane Departure Prevention Function When driving on expressways, freeways, or interstate highways, the system recognizes the lane markings on both sides of the vehicle. If the vehicle appears likely to depart from the lane, the system assists with steering operation in the direction that prevents the lane departure, preventing the vehicle from leaving the lane.  Page 86 EyeSight Functions About EyeSight 15 ■Pre-Collision Throttle Management This function reduces accidental forward movement caused by the select lever being placed in the wrong position or the accelerator pedal being accidentally depressed, or depressed too strongly.  Page 95 ■Lane Departure Warning This function warns the driver when the vehicle is about to drift off the road.  Page 101 ■Lane Sway Warning This function warns the driver when it detects vehicle drifting caused by driver fatigue, failure to concentrate on the road, inattention, strong crosswinds or other factors.  Page 104 ■Lead Vehicle Start Alert This function notifies the driver when the vehicle stopped in front starts moving but the driver’s vehicle remains stationary.  Page 107 ■Conventional Cruise Control In this mode, the system maintains a constant vehicle speed. It does not follow the vehicle in front. This function can be used even when the stereo camera has temporarily stopped operating ( page 123).

If the driver still does not take evasive action to avoid a collision, the brakes can be automatically applied just before the collision in order to reduce impact damage, or if possible, prevent the collision. If the driver takes evasive action to avoid a collision, Pre-Collision Braking Assist will operate in order to help the driver to prevent or minimize the collision. This system can be effective not only with direct rear-end collisions, but also with offset rear-end collisions. This function can be activated when the select lever is in the , or positions. WARNING • Never use the Pre-Collision Braking System and Pre-Collision Braking Assist to stop your car or avoid a collision under ordinary conditions. These functions cannot prevent collisions under all conditions. If the driver relies only on the Pre-Collision Braking System for Brake operation, collisions may occur. • When a warning is activated, pay attention to the front of the vehicle and its surroundings, and operate the brake pedal and/or take other actions if necessary. • The EyeSight Pre-Collision Braking System is primarily designed to prevent rear-end collisions with other vehicles when possible or to minimize damage and injuries in the event of a collision. In addition to other vehicles, things such as motorbikes, bicycles and pedestrians can also be treated as obstacles. However, there may be cases when detection is not possible depending on a variety of conditions*2. For example, when a vehicle is viewed from the side, oncoming vehicle, vehicles approaching in reverse, small animals or children, or walls or doors are not likely to be detected. • The Pre-Collision Braking System will operate at the point when it determines that a collision cannot be avoided and is designed to apply strong braking force just before a collision. The result of this varies depending on a variety of conditions*2. Because of this, performance of this function will not always be the same. • When the Pre-Collision Braking System is activated, it will continue to operate even if the accelerator pedal is partially depressed. However, it will be canceled if the accelerator pedal is suddenly or fully depressed. • If the driver depresses the brake pedal or turns the steering wheel, the system may determine that this constitutes evasive action by the driver, and the automatic braking control may not activate in order to allow the driver full control. D M N Pre-Collision Braking System 29 Continued on next page  • When the difference in speed with the obstacle in front is the following figure*1 or more, it may not be possible to avoid a collision. Even if the speed difference is the following figure*1 or less, in cases such as when another vehicle cuts in front of you, or in other cases depending on visibility, the condition of road surface and other factors*2, the function may be unable to stop the vehicle or may not activate. Pre-Collision Braking Assist also may not activate depending on the conditions*2 listed below. *1: For vehicles: approximately 30 mph (50 km/h), For pedestrians: approximately 21 mph (35 km/h) *2: Conditions in which the Pre-Collision Braking System cannot detect obstacles: – Distance to obstacle in front of you, speed difference, proximity conditions, lateral displacement (the amount of offset) – Vehicle conditions (amount of load, number of occupants, etc.) – Road conditions (grade, slipperiness, shape, bumps, etc.) – Visibility ahead is poor (rain, snow, fog or smoke, etc.). – The detected object is something other than a vehicle, motorcycle, bicycle or pedestrian. • A domestic animal or other animal (a dog or deer, etc.) • A guardrail, telephone pole, tree, fence or wall, etc. – Even if the obstacle is a motorcycle, bicycle or pedestrian, depending on the brightness of the surroundings as well as the relative movement, and aspect or angle of the object, there may be cases when the system cannot detect it. – The system determines that operation by the driver (based on accelerator pedal operation, braking, steering wheel angle, etc.) is intended as evasive action. – Vehicle maintenance status (brake systems, tire wear, tire pressure, whether a temporary spare tire is being used, etc.) – A trailer or another vehicle, etc. is being towed. – The brakes are cold due to the outside temperature being low or just after starting the engine. – The brakes are overheated on downhill grades (braking performance is reduced). – In rain or after washing the vehicle (the brakes are wet and braking performance is reduced) Pre-Collision Braking System 30  Continued from previous page – Recognition conditions of the stereo camera In particular, the function may be unable to stop the vehicle or may not activate in the following cases. • Bad weather (for example heavy rain, a blizzard or thick fog) • Visibility is poor due to sand, smoke or water vapor blowing in the wind, or the front vision is obscured due to water splashes, snow, dirt or dust stir up generated by the vehicle in front or oncoming traffic. • At night or in a tunnel without the headlights on •

Pre-Collision Braking System 33 Continued on next page  CAUTION • In the following situations, turn off the Pre-Collision Braking System. Otherwise the Pre-Collision Braking System may activate unexpectedly. – The vehicle is being towed. – The vehicle is being loaded onto a carrier. – A chassis dynamometer, free-rollers or similar equipment is being used. – A mechanic lifts up the vehicle, starts the engine and spins the wheels freely. – Passing hanging banners, flags or branches – Thick/tall vegetation is touching the vehicle. – Driving on a race track – In a drive-through car wash • The Pre-Collision Braking System may activate in the following situations. Therefore concentrate on safe driving. – Passing through an automatic gate (opening and shutting) – Driving close to the vehicle in front – Driving in a location where the grade of the road changes rapidly S00656 S01264 Pre-Collision Braking System 34  Continued from previous page – Visibility is poor due to sand, smoke or water vapor blowing in the wind, or the front vision is obscured due to water splashes, snow, dirt or dust stir up generated by the vehicle in front or oncoming traffic. – Passing through clouds of steam or smoke, etc. – In adverse weather, such as heavy snow or snowstorms – The exhaust gas emitted by the vehicle in front is clearly visible in cold weather, etc. – There is an obstacle on a curve or intersection. – A vehicle or an object is being narrowly passed. – Stopping very close to a wall or a vehicle in front – Passing through water spray from road sprinklers or snow clearing sprinklers on the road. S00652 S02669 S02636 Pre-Collision Braking System 35 • If there is cargo or installed accessories, etc. that are protruding beyond the edge of the front bumper, the vehicle’s length will increase and the system may not be able to prevent a collision. • If the driver operates the brake pedal during automatic braking, the pedal may feel stiff; however, this is normal. By depressing the brake pedal further you can apply more braking force. NOTE Some unusual noises may be audible during automatic braking. This is caused by the braking control and is normal. Pre-Collision Braking System 36 ■Detection of pedestrians The EyeSight system can also detect pedestrians. The EyeSight system detects pedestrians from their size, shape and movement. The system detects a pedestrian when the contour of the head and shoulders are clear. WARNING The EyeSight system’s Pre-Collision Braking function also identifies pedestrians as obstacles. However, depending on the conditions, there may be cases when the system cannot detect a pedestrian. In the following conditions, the possibility that the system may not be able to detect a pedestrian as an object is particularly high. • Pedestrians are walking in a group. • A pedestrian is next to a wall or other obstacle. • A pedestrian is using an umbrella. • A pedestrian is wearing clothes that are a similar color to the surrounding environment. • A pedestrian is carrying bulky luggage. • A pedestrian is bent over, crouching down or lying down. • A pedestrian is in a dark location. • A pedestrian suddenly crosses in front of you from the side or suddenly runs in front of you. Approx 3 1/3 ft – 6 2/3 ft (1-2 m) S00693 Pre-Collision Braking System 37 When there is an obstacle in front of you during driving, the system activates in the following sequence in order to warn the driver and to activate braking control and the brake lights. Following Distance Warning: When the system determines that there is a risk of collision, an alert sounds repeated short beeps and the indicators on the combination meter display illuminate to warn the driver. The Following Distance Warning operates when Adaptive Cruise Control is not activated. When the driver depresses the brake pedal to decelerate and achieves a suitable following distance, the warning is canceled. First Braking and Warning: When the system determines that there is a high risk of collision with an obstacle in front, an alert sounds repeated short beeps and the indicators on the combination meter display illuminate to warn the driver. Braking control may be activated and in some situations, engine output may also be controlled. If the system determines that the amount of evasive action (braking, steering, etc.) taken by the driver has reduced the risk of collision, braking activation is canceled. Secondary Braking and Warning: If the system then determines that the risk of collision is extremely high, the alert changes to a continuous beeping sound and stronger braking control is activated. Despite any evasive action taken by the driver, if the system subsequently determines that a collision is unavoidable, braking and engine output are controlled by the system. When the vehicle is stopped by secondary braking, the driver should depress the brake pedal in order to ensure that the vehicle stays stopped. Pre-Collision Braking System operation Pre-Collision Braking System 38 NOTE • To release the brake control after the vehicle has come to a stop through Pre- Collision Braking System, perform the following. – Depress the brake pedal. – Depress the accelerator pedal (except when the select lever is in the position). – Shift the select lever into the position. • After stopping with secondary braking, in the following cases, brake control will be released and the electronic parking brake will be applied. (For details about how to release the electronic parking brake, refer to the Owner’s Manual for your vehicle.) – Approximately 2 minutes have elapsed since stopping and the brake pedal is not depressed. – Any door (except the rear gate) is opened. – The driver’s seatbelt is unfastened. – The EyeSight system has a malfunction. – The EyeSight system has stopped temporarily.

One of the reasons for this is due to a large speed difference with an obstacle in front. In those cases, stronger or weaker braking control may be activated. N Pre-Collision Braking System 40 ■Pre-Collision Braking System operation indicator After the Pre-Collision Braking System operation, a message appears and stays in the warning screen area of the combination meter display for a certain period of time. If the Pre-Collision Braking System stopped operating before the vehicle came to a stop The message appears and stays in the warning screen area of the combination meter display to indicate that the Pre-Collision Braking System has activated. If the Pre-Collision Braking System continued operating until the vehicle came to a stop The message appears and stays in the warning screen area of the combination meter display to indicate that the Pre-Collision Braking System has activated. At this time the alert sounds. It will continue to sound for approximately 2 minutes until the driver depresses the brake pedal. If the brake pedal is not depressed after a certain amount of time has passed, the screen changes to the message “Apply Brake To Hold Position” to urge the driver to depress the brake pedal. This screen will be displayed for approximately 2 minutes until the driver depresses the brake pedal. S03130 S03129 S02962 Pre-Collision Braking System 41 When the Pre-Collision Braking System is activated (when the system determines that there is a high risk of collision with an obstacle in front), if the driver depresses the brake pedal, the system determines that this is emergency braking and activates braking assist automatically. Pre-Collision Braking Assist operation CAUTION If the driver depresses the brake pedal while following distance warning is activated, the Pre-Collision Braking Assist will not work. The vehicle decelerates with the normal braking force operated by the driver. NOTE • Pre-Collision Braking Assist function does not operate when the vehicle speed is approximately 7 mph (10 km/h) or less or 100 mph (160 km/h) or more. • For information about the brake assist function, refer to the Owner’s Manual for your vehicle.

S02407 44 Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control is a driving support system that is intended to assist drivers when driving on an expressway (including during congestion and when driving at high speed). The Adaptive Cruise Control ( page 44) and Lane Centering Function ( page 73) which operates linked with the Adaptive Cruise Control are used to assist with driving by automatically controlling the accelerator, brake, and steering. Adaptive Cruise Control is a driving support system intended to allow more comfortable driving on expressways, freeways and interstate highways. The stereo camera detects vehicles in front that are driving in the same traffic lane, and your vehicle follows the vehicle in front (up to the maximum speed of the set vehicle speed). While following, your vehicle will automatically maintain a following distance that corresponds to the speed of the vehicle in front. When the vehicle in front comes to a complete stop, your vehicle will also be stopped and the electronic parking brake will be automatically applied. The vehicle is capable of being controlled at a speed between 0 mph (0 km/h) and approximately 90 mph (145 km/h). Please remember that you should not exceed posted speed limits. Adaptive Cruise Control WARNING • This system does not provide the driver with an automatic driving function that handles all traffic conditions. • Do not rely excessively on Adaptive Cruise Control. This system is not intended to assist in driving when the driver is not paying full attention to what is ahead of him/her due to distractions or a lack of concentration while driving, or under conditions of poor visibility. It is not intended to prevent rear-end collisions. Strive for safe driving at all times. Always maintain a safe following distance behind the vehicle in front of you, pay attention to your surroundings and the driving conditions, and operate the brake pedal and take other actions as necessary. • When using Adaptive Cruise Control, always set the speed according to the speed limit, traffic flow, road conditions, and other conditions. • Before using the system, perform a daily inspection and verify that there are no malfunctions of the tires or brakes.  Refer to “Warranty and Maintenance Booklet”.

The set vehicle speed display will read “- – MPH (- – – km/h)”. If the switch is pressed once more, the EyeSight display will turn off. It will also automatically turn off when the engine is stopped. To set the ready status: Adaptive Cruise Control can be activated when all of the following conditions are met and (READY indicator) is displayed on the EyeSight display area. – All doors (except the rear gate) are closed. – The driver’s seatbelt is fastened. – The electronic parking brake is not engaged. The electronic parking brake indicator light is turned off. – The select lever is in the or position. – The brake pedal is not depressed while driving or the brake pedal is strongly depressed while stopping. S03393 S03110 Following distance setting indicator Adaptive Cruise Control indicator (white) S03028 READY indicator D M Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control 53 – EyeSight operation is not temporarily stopped. (EyeSight Temporary Stop indicator: White) is turned off.  Page 123 – The road is not a steep slope. – The steering wheel has not been turned significantly in either direction. – The X-MODE is not turned on (the X-MODE indicator goes off). (if equipped) – The vehicle speed is between 0 mph (0 km/h) and approximately 90 mph (145 km/h). (2) Setting Adaptive Cruise Control Press the RES/SET switch to the “SET/-” side or the “RES/+” side. Adaptive Cruise Control is activated and control starts, using the vehicle speed at the time when the switch was pressed as the set vehicle speed. If no vehicle in front has been detected, the vehicle drives at the constant set target speed. When Adaptive Cruise Control is activated, (READY indicator) turns off, the set vehicle speed is displayed, and (Adaptive Cruise Control indicator) changes from white to green. WARNING When using Adaptive Cruise Control, always set the speed according to the speed limit, traffic flow, road conditions, and other conditions. S03394 S03029 Green Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control 54 When a vehicle in front is detected, a notification sounds 1 short beep and the lead vehicle indicator will illuminate. The vehicle follows the lead vehicle in front and maintains the selected following distance. At this time, the cruise speed is adjusted to and will not exceed the set speed. If the vehicle in front is no longer detected, a notification sounds 1 short beep and the lead vehicle indicator turns off. While the driver accelerates the vehicle by depressing the acceleration pedal, (Adaptive Cruise Control indicator) will turn from green to white. When acceleration has stopped, (Adaptive Cruise Control indicator) will turn from white to green. NOTE • The target vehicle speed can be set between 20 mph (30 km/h) and 90 mph (145 km/h). • If the vehicle speed is approximately 20 mph (30 km/h) or less when the vehicle speed is set, the set vehicle speed is set to 20 mph (30 km/h). • When driving on a curve, the vehicle may not accelerate, or may decelerate, even if the set speed is higher than the current vehicle speed. • If (Adaptive Cruise Control indicator) does not illuminate, even when the (CRUISE) switch is pressed, Adaptive Cruise Control will not operate. • If (Adaptive Cruise Control indicator) does not illuminate even when the (CRUISE) switch is pressed and this occurs frequently, there may be a malfunction in the system. Contact a SUBARU dealer and have the system inspected. NOTE The notification (lead vehicle acquisition sound) that occurs when a vehicle in front is detected or no longer detected while Adaptive Cruise Control is activated can be turned off by customization.  Page 125 S03030 Lead vehicle indicator Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control 55 Operation of Adaptive Cruise Control • When no vehicle in front is detected The vehicle drives constantly and correspondingly to the set vehicle speed between 20 mph (30 km/h) and 90 mph (145 km/h). • When a vehicle in front is detected The vehicle follows the lead vehicle in front, and will maintain the chosen following distance (there are four settings), up to the set target vehicle speed between 20 mph (30 km/h) and 90 mph (145 km/h). • If your vehicle no longer detects the vehicle in front The vehicle gradually accelerates back to the set target vehicle speed and will drive at that constant speed. If a vehicle in front is detected while accelerating to the set target vehicle speed, vehicle following will be started again. CAUTION If the driver operates the brake pedal during automatic braking, the pedal may feel stiff; however, this is not a malfunction. By depressing the brake pedal further you can apply more braking force. When the brake pedal is released it will return to its original condition. S01979 S01980 S01981 Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control 56 NOTE • When the brakes are applied by Adaptive Cruise Control, the vehicle’s brake lights will illuminate. • Even if there is no lead vehicle present, on a downhill grade, the Adaptive Cruise Control’s automatic brake may operate in order to maintain the set target vehicle speed. • Some noises may be audible during automatic braking. This is caused by the braking control and does not indicate a malfunction. • To temporarily accelerate quickly, use the accelerator pedal. After accelerating, the vehicle will gradually return to the set target vehicle speed shown in the set vehicle speed display. • If the vehicle in front is no longer detected while your vehicle is still controlled by the automatic braking operation, the brake will be automatically released gradually. Depress the accelerator pedal if necessary. • The lead-vehicle following function has the following characteristics: – If the lead vehicle’s brake lights are detected, deceleration will start earlier than without detection. – If the vehicle moves to the fast lane while traveling more than 37 mph (60 km/h), the system starts acceleration to the set vehicle speed more quickly because it is linked with the turn signal. – If the setting of Driving Lane Customize is different from the actual driving direction, the vehicle may start to accelerate faster than usual when the driver signals a lane change to move from the passing lane to the driving lane.  Page 125 Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control 57 ●Increasing the set vehicle target speed Using the RES/SET switch While driving with Adaptive Cruise Control on, operate the RES/SET switch as follows. • Push to the “RES/+” side briefly. Every time the switch is pushed, the set vehicle target speed will increase to the next 5 mph (5 km/h) increment. • Push to the “RES/+” side continuously. While the switch is being pushed, the set vehicle target speed will increase in increments of 1 mph (1 km/h). When operating the switch, the set vehicle target speed changes on the combination meter display. Using the accelerator pedal Depressing the accelerator pedal will increase vehicle speed. Once the preferred speed has been attained, push the RES/SET switch to the “SET/-” side. When the switch is pressed, the new vehicle target speed will be set. The new set vehicle speed will be displayed on the EyeSight display area. S03395 S03396 Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control 58 CAUTION • When Adaptive Cruise Control is operating, the actual vehicle speed is controlled according to the lead vehicle. Therefore, if the RES/SET switch is pressed to the “RES/+” side and set to a speed higher than the speed of the lead vehicle, the vehicle will not accelerate; it will maintain a safe following distance as the first priority. However, because doing so changed the set vehicle target speed, when the lead vehicle is no longer detected (for example, if you change to a freeway lane with no vehicles in front), the vehicle will accelerate to that new set target speed. Change the set vehicle target speed while briefly checking the value shown in the set speed display on the EyeSight display. • When the accelerator pedal is depressed with Adaptive Cruise Control on, automatic braking control and warnings by Adaptive Cruise Control will not occur. However, if there is a high risk of collision with an obstacle in front of the vehicle at this time, the warning and braking control of the Pre-Collision Braking System may activate. Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control 59 ●Decreasing the set vehicle target speed Using the RES/SET switch While driving with Adaptive Cruise Control on, operate the RES/SET switch as follows. • Push to the “SET/-” side briefly. Every time the switch is pushed, the set vehicle target speed will decrease to the next 5 mph (5 km/h) decrement. • Push to the “SET/-” side continuously. While the switch is being pushed, the set vehicle target speed will decrease in decrements of 1 mph (1 km/h). When operating the switch, the set vehicle target speed changes on the combination meter display. Using the brake pedal 1. Depress the brake pedal to decrease the vehicle speed. Adaptive Cruise Control will be canceled and (Adaptive Cruise Control indicator) changes from green to white. 2. When the desired speed is reached, press the RES/SET switch to the “SET/-” side. The speed at the time of pressing the switch will be set as the new vehicle speed, and it appears on the EyeSight display area. ●Accelerating temporarily Depress the accelerator pedal to accelerate temporarily.

Did you remember to press the (CRUISE) switch? If you have not pressed the (CRUISE) switch, (Adaptive Cruise Control indicator) will not be shown. Is EyeSight operation temporarily stopped? When EyeSight is temporarily stopped, (EyeSight temporary stop indicator) is displayed on the combination meter display. Set Adaptive Cruise Control again after the cause for the temporary stop has been corrected. Is (READY indicator) displayed? Adaptive Cruise Control cannot be activated when (READY indicator) is not displayed. Set Adaptive Cruise Control when (READY indicator) is displayed. (READY indicator) is not displayed. Are the requirements for setting cruise control met? For the conditions of (READY indicator) illumination, refer to the following pages.  Page 52 (Adaptive Cruise Control)  Page 110 (Conventional Cruise Control) Troubleshooting 133 A vehicle (in front of your vehicle) is not detected, detection is delayed or detection is lost quickly. Is the vehicle in front stopped, moving slowly relative to your vehicle or moving extremely slowly? Detection of stopped vehicles, vehicle moving slowly relative to your vehicle, and vehicles moving extremely slowly may be difficult. Is the windshield dirty or fogged? If the windshield is dirty or fogged, it may not be possible to detect object or vehicles. Clean off the dirt or fog from the windshield, and then try using the system again. Is the vehicle in front far away? The maximum detection distance of EyeSight’s stereo camera is approximately 360 ft (110 m). Detection is not possible if the vehicle is farther away. Is the vehicle on a curve? The detection range is limited in the horizontal directions when the stereo camera is properly aimed. Is the vehicle on a road with repeated uphill and downhill grades (such as an overpass), or on a banked road? The detection range is limited in the vertical directions. Did the vehicle detected in front change? Detection may be delayed after the vehicle in front has changed. Have water, snow or other substances been kicked up by the vehicle in front as it drives? When water or snow have been kicked up, it may not be possible to detect the vehicle in front. Adaptive Cruise Control is activated even though there is no vehicle in front detected. Is there a vehicle in the neighboring lane? Depending on the road conditions, vehicles in neighboring lanes may be detected as well as a vehicle directly in front. Are you driving on or near a curve? When driving on a curve, braking control may be activated in response to guardrails, the angle of the steering wheel, or roadside structures. Troubleshooting 134 The Lead Vehicle Start Alert activates, even though there is no vehicle in front. Depending on surrounding objects, traffic environment and weather, the Lead Vehicle Start Alert may issue a warning in response to objects other than a vehicle that appears in front of your vehicle. EyeSight does not restart after a temporary stop. Are you driving in the rain with poorly performing wipers or is there an oily film on the windshield? Replace the wipers with new ones, or clean the oily film off the windshield. Are you driving in poor weather conditions with heavy rain, snow, fog, or dust? In these cases, EyeSight may temporarily stop operating while visibility is very poor. Is your vehicle subject to sunlight from the front (sunset or sunrise, etc.) or to bright headlights from oncoming vehicles at nighttime? In these cases, EyeSight may temporarily stop operating. Are you parking in an extremely hot or cold condition? In either of these cases, EyeSight may temporarily stop operating until the temperature increases or decreases to a temperature at which the camera is operable. The timing of the “Obstacle Detected” warning is sometimes earlier or sometimes later than what seems to be normal operation. The “Obstacle Detected” warning sounds when the system determines that more braking is necessary, based on conditions such as the distance from the vehicle in front and the difference in speed compared to it. As a result, timing may vary depending on how the brakes are applied in relation to the vehicle in front, and your relative speed to that vehicle. When the vehicle in front has turned off the roadway or the distance from the vehicle in front has increased, acceleration is sometimes slower or faster. Depending on the timing of when the detection of the vehicle in front is lost, EyeSight’s ability to react may be slower, causing the start of acceleration to feel delayed and braking time to feel longer than what seems to be normal operation. What acceleration level did you select for cruise control*? Acceleration may vary because the cruise control characteristics vary depending on the selected mode. *: Adaptive Cruise Control and Conventional Cruise Control Troubleshooting 135 Cruise control is canceled automatically. Did you perform one of the following operations?  Page 66 (Adaptive Cruise Control)  Page 115 (Conventional Cruise Control) Has the EyeSight system temporarily stopped while the Adaptive Cruise Control function was in use? A noise occurs when automatic braking control activates. This is the sound of the automatic braking control operating – there are some mechanical components to the system, and they do occasionally make audible sounds during automatic braking control. This does not indicate a malfunction. Braking control activates frequently when driving with Adaptive Cruise Control in heavy traffic. When Adaptive Cruise Control is activated, the EyeSight system performs control based on the movement of vehicles or objects in front. As a result, acceleration and deceleration may be more frequent while the system adjusts to vehicles or objects the camera system is detecting. If it is difficult to maintain a consistent following distance under certain conditions (such as in heavy traffic, poor weather or urban environments, etc.), do not use Adaptive Cruise Control. The electronic parking brake is applied automatically while the stay-stopped function is operating. The electronic parking brake will be applied in the following cases. • The stay-stopped function ( page 62) is continuously applied for approximately 2 minutes. • Automatic cancel conditions ( page 67) have been met. The engine is stopped while the stay-stopped function of Adaptive Cruise Control engages. Does the Auto Start Stop indicator (green) illuminate? This engine stop occurs as a result of the operation of the Auto Start Stop system. It does not indicate a malfunction. Troubleshooting 136 The Auto Start Stop system does not stop the engine while the stay-stopped function of Adaptive Cruise Control is engaged. For information about the operation conditions of the Auto Start Stop system, refer to the Owner’s Manual for your vehicle. The engine does not restart after it has been automatically stopped while the staystopped function of Adaptive Cruise Control has been engaged. Does the Auto Start Stop OFF indicator illuminate? If the OFF indicator illuminates, shift the select lever to the position and start the engine with the brake pedal depressed. If the warning light does not turn off after the engine starts, immediately contact a SUBARU dealer to have the system inspected. Lane Centering Function does not activate even though the (Lane Keep Assist) switch is pressed. Is the Adaptive Cruise Control activated? Lane Centering Function activates only when the Adaptive Cruise Control is activated. Is Lane Centering Function turned on in the customizing functions? The Lane Departure Prevention Function activates when Lane Centering Function is set to off in the customizing functions. Lane Centering Function and Lane Departure Prevention Function was unexpectedly canceled. Did you take your hands off the steering wheel? Did you just lightly put your hands on the steering wheel while driving? If the system does not detect the steering operation of the driver, it will temporarily cancel Lane Centering Function and Lane Departure Prevention Function. Did you turn a tight corner? Lane Centering Function and Lane Departure Prevention Function do not operate while turning a tight corner. Did you perform one of the following operations?  Page 83 (Lane Centering Function)  Page 93 (Lane Departure Prevention Function) P Troubleshooting 137 Lane Centering Function and Lane Departure Prevention Function do not operate even though there are lane markers. Is the width of the road too narrow or too wide? To operate Lane Centering Function and Lane Departure Prevention Function, the width of the road should be between approximately 10 ft (3 m) and 15 ft (4.5 m). A lead vehicle is driving ahead of your vehicle and the lead vehicle indicator is illuminated, however Lane Centering Function does not activate. Is the width of the lead vehicle too narrow? Lane Centering Function does not activate when the lead vehicle is a motorcycle or another 2-wheeled vehicle, super-compact car, or other narrow vehicle. Is there a speed difference between the lead vehicle and your vehicle? Or is the lead vehicle not directly in front of your vehicle? Lane Centering Function may not activate in conditions such as when there is a speed difference between the lead vehicle and your vehicle (the lead vehicle is pulling away), or when the lead vehicle is meandering or driving at the edge of the lane. 138 MEMO 139 MEMO 140 MEMO
