When the START/STOP button indicator turns green, briefly press and release the START/STOP button. 6. Check that the Hybrid “READY” indicator is illuminated in the Combination Meter. NOTE: Based on the high-voltage battery state of charge or other environmental conditions, the gasoline engine may not start. Hybrid READY Indicator The hybrid “READY” indicator light in the Combination Meter indicates the hybrid system has started and is ready for driving. You may not be able to hear any sound coming from the vehicle. Hybrid System Sounds You may hear a humming sound from the front of the vehicle when you move the select lever to the “R”, “D”, or “B” position, or the gasoline engine may start. OPERATING THE VEHICLE 30 DRIVING THE VEHICLE Select Lever Positions The Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) is electronically controlled and provides two different driving modes: D Position and B Position. D Position (Drive) The “D” (Drive) position is for normal driving. The select lever position indicator in the Combination Meter Display shows “D” and the transmission automatically shifts into a suitable forward gear. The vehicle systems work together to provide a mix of performance, fuel efficiency, and high-voltage battery management. B Position (Brake) The “B” (Brake) position is designed for situations where additional engine or regenerative braking may be helpful, such as maintaining speeds when driving down slopes. It also assists in recharging the high-voltage battery by applying additional regenerative braking when the accelerator pedal has been released. Regenerative brakes slow the vehicle by using the kinetic energy from the moving wheels to generate electricity. This works together with the traditional mechanical brakes to slow the vehicle. Pedestrian Alert System When driving with the gasoline engine stopped, the vehicle makes a sound to warn nearby people of the vehicle’s movement. This sound changes in volume in accordance with the driving speed and stops when the speed is about 22 mph or more. The sound is continuous when the vehicle is reversing. CVT Select Lever OPERATING THE VEHICLE 31 Hybrid System Modes You can select the operating mode of the hybrid system using the Hybrid Mode switch on the center console. Each mode is designed to allow you to manage the high-voltage battery state of charge based on varying driving conditions. Normal Mode (Default) This is the default mode and is best for local driving. In Normal Mode, the vehicle automatically changes between EV (electric motor only) and HEV (electric motor and gasoline engine) driving, depending on conditions. As Normal Mode is used, high-voltage battery charge gradually depletes. Hybrid Battery Save Mode (Press) This mode is best used for highway driving. Save Mode maintains the charge level of the high-voltage battery. To activate Save Mode, press the Hybrid Mode switch (once from Normal Mode or twice from Charge Mode). The Save Mode indicator (SAVE) illuminates in the Combination Meter Display (CMD) and the Driver Assist indicator at the top of the combination meter illuminates in green for about 5 seconds. Press the switch again to return to Normal Mode. Hybrid Battery Charge Mode (Press and Hold) Charge Mode uses the gasoline engine to charge the high-voltage battery. Charge Mode is designed for situations where plug-in charging is not available for a long time and continued EV driving is desired.

SETTINGS AND UPDATES 82 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 95 in this Getting Started Guide for more details. EyeSight Cameras (inside) EyeSight Cameras (outside) EYESIGHT 83 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 hybrid system output 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 90). Pre-Collision Brake Assist This function activates when the Pre-Collision Braking System is activated, the system determines that there is a high risk of collision with an obstacle in front, and you apply the brakes. The function assists by applying additional pressure to the braking system to decrease stopping distance. This system can be turned on or off by using the Pre-Collision Braking System OFF switch (see page 90). Obstacle Detected EYESIGHT 84 Pre-Collision Throttle Management This function is designed to help prevent you from unintentionally accelerating into a stopped vehicle or other obstacle by reducing hybrid system power. Warnings are displayed in the Combination Meter Display (CMD) with audible beeps. Pre-Collision Throttle Management is helpful when: • You unintentionally place the select lever in the “D” position instead of the “R” position and start to accelerate toward a parked car, wall or parking structure. • While you are at a stop, the vehicle ahead of you accelerates, but then suddenly slows down or stops as you begin to accelerate. This system can be turned on or off by using the Pre-Collision Braking System OFF switch (see page 90). Lane Departure Warning This function provides audible and visual warnings if you are about to depart your lane of travel. Using the EyeSight® camera, the Lane Departure Warning function identifies lane markings when traveling at speeds of approximately 30 mph or greater. These warnings are displayed in the Combination Meter Display (CMD) with audible beeps. Lane Departure Warning does not provide any corrective actions. You can turn this system on or off by using the Lane Departure Warning OFF switch (see page 90). Lane Departure EYESIGHT 85 Lane Sway Warning This function detects repetitive or unusual side-to-side vehicle movement within a lane of travel that may indicate a drowsy or inattentive driver. Using the EyeSight® camera, the Lane Sway Warning function activates to identify lane markings when traveling at speeds of approximately 37 mph or greater and deactivates when vehicle speed falls below 25 mph. Warnings are displayed in the Combination Meter Display (CMD) with audible beeps. Lane Sway Warning does not provide any corrective actions. You can turn this system on or off by using the Lane Departure Warning OFF switch (see page 90). Lane Keep Assist (LKA) This function provides steering assistance to keep you in the lane of travel when driving on expressways, freeways, and interstate highways at approximately 37 mph or greater. Lane Keep Assist uses the EyeSight® camera to identify lane markings and assists steering operation to help prevent lane departure. 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 86 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 89).

The displayed image features a centerline indicator, colored distance markers, and dynamic guidelines that move as the steering wheel is turned. BLIND SPOT DETECTION (BSD) / REAR CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT (RCTA) This system uses radar sensors mounted behind the rear bumper on the left and right sides that warn you if another vehicle is sensed in your blind spots. These functions provide additional awareness when changing lanes or driving in reverse. Blind Spot Detection (BSD) Blind Spot Detection senses if a vehicle is traveling at the same relative speed in your blind spot and provides a visual warning. If the system detects a vehicle in your blind spot, the BSD/RCTA approach indicator light in the corresponding side mirror frame illuminates. If you operate the turn signal lever in the direction the BSD/RCTA approach indicator light is illuminated, the system provides an additional level of warning by rapidly flashing the BSD/RCTA approach indicator light. Lane Change Assist (LCA) Lane Change Assist (LCA) provides an additional level of protection by warning you of rapidly approaching vehicles in the neighboring lanes. If LCA detects a vehicle approaching at a high speed in the neighboring lanes, the BSD/RCTA approach indicator light in the corresponding side mirror frame illuminates. If you operate the turn signal lever in the direction the BSD/RCTA approach indicator light is illuminated, the system rapidly flashes the BSD/RCTA approach indicator light. DRIVER ASSIST TECHNOLOGIES 91 Rear Cross-Traffic Alert (RCTA) This function detects a vehicle approaching from either side as you reverse, helping you check the rear and side areas of the vehicle when moving backward. If RCTA detects a vehicle approaching from either side while moving backward, the system provides visual and audible warnings: The BSD/RCTA approach indicator light(s) on the side mirror(s) flash, the BSD/RCTA warning indicator appears in the upper corner of the Rear-Vision Camera display, and a warning buzzer sounds.

To activate High Beam Assist, set the headlight control switch to the “AUTO” position and push the headlight lever forward to the high beam position. The green HBA indicator illuminates on the Combination Meter. HBA automatically activates the high beams when the forward area is dark, there are no preceding/oncoming vehicles or sharp curves in the road, and your speed is approximately 20 mph or greater. When an preceding/oncoming vehicle is detected, the forward area is bright, your speed decreases to 10 mph or less, or the EyeSight® system is malfunctioning or is temporarily stopped, HBA automatically switches to low beams. STEERING RESPONSIVE HEADLIGHTS (SRH) The Steering Responsive Headlights (SRH) system aims the headlight beams in the direction you are steering, improving visibility at corners and intersections when driving at night. Although the system is normally on, you can turn the system off using the SRH OFF switch located on the lower left console. For more information, please refer to “Instruments and Controls” in your Owner’s Manual. REVERSE AUTOMATIC BRAKING (RAB) This system uses four rear bumper mounted sonar sensors to detect objects when moving between 1 and 9 mph in reverse. RAB uses the Rear-Vision Camera image to display colored proximity alerts when an object is detected. As an object becomes closer to the rear of your vehicle, audible beeps provide additional awareness in progressive levels. If RAB determines that a collision with an object is possible, the system can automatically apply the brakes to help prevent or minimize the impact. DRIVER ASSIST TECHNOLOGIES 93 Reverse Automatic Braking (RAB) OFF In some cases, such as connecting a trailer, it may be helpful to temporarily turn the system off. RAB can be turned off using the buttons in the lower corners of the touchscreen when the select lever is in the “R” position.
