SETTINGS AND UPDATES 77 EYESIGHT® 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 • Pre-Collision Braking • Blind-Spot Detection (BSD) • Rear Cross-Traffic Alert (RCTA) • Reverse Automatic Braking (RAB) • High Beam Assist (HBA) • Lane Keep Assist (LKA) • 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 human eyes, it is important that the cameras, windshield, and area in front of the cameras are treated with special care. Please refer to “Care and Limitations” on page 90 for more details. EyeSight Cameras (inside) EyeSight Cameras (outside) EYESIGHT 78 FUNCTIONS The EyeSight® system features several distinct functions designed to provide extra awareness, improve safety, reduce fatigue, and add peace of mind every time you drive your Subaru. EyeSight® functions include: • Pre-Collision Braking • Pre-Collision Brake Assist • Pre-Collision Throttle Management • Lane Departure Warning • Lane Sway Warning • Lane Keep Assist • Adaptive Cruise Control • Conventional Cruise Control • Lead Vehicle Start Alert Pre-Collision Braking This function helps prevent or minimize a frontal collision with another vehicle, pedestrian, or other objects by providing visual and audible warnings. Warnings are displayed in the Combination Meter Display (CMD) with audible beeps. If you take no corrective action, the system automatically reduces engine power and applies the brakes with increasing force to help prevent or minimize the collision. This system can be turned on or off by using the Pre-Collision Braking System OFF switch (see page 86). Pre-Collision Brake Assist This function recognizes a possible collision with another vehicle, a pedestrian, or object in front while you are applying the brakes.

This function is turned on or off using the Lane Keep Assist button on the right side of the steering wheel. Once the system is turned on, a white Lane Keep Assist icon will be displayed on the Combination Meter Display (CMD). Lane marking graphics on the CMD change to white to indicate that the right and/or left lane markings have been successfully identified by the EyeSight® camera. If the vehicle is about to depart the driving lane, the system assists steering by gently guiding the vehicle back into your lane. When the system is actively providing assistance, the Lane Keep Assist icon in the CMD will change from white to green. Stay Alert EYESIGHT 81 Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) This system provides cruise control with the ability to keep a safe distance from the car in front of you. Using the EyeSight® camera, the Adaptive Cruise Control function identifies vehicles in front of you in the same lane, and your vehicle follows the vehicle in front (up to the maximum of your set speed). While following, your vehicle will automatically maintain a following distance that corresponds to the speed of the vehicle in front. The vehicle is capable of being controlled at a speed between 0 mph and approximately 90 mph. You can turn the Adaptive Cruise Control on or off using the Adaptive Cruise Control On/Off button on the right side of the steering wheel (see page 84).
