NOTE
xEyeSight records and stores the following data when the secondary brak-
ing of the Pre-Collision Braking System is operated. It does not record con-
versations or other audio data.
- Stereo camera image data
- Distance from the vehicle in front
- Vehicle speed
- Steering wheel turning angle
- Lateral movement with regard to the direction of travel
- Accelerator pedal operation status
- Brake pedal operation status
- Select lever position
- 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 fol-
lowing 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

The stereo cameras are installed at the posi-
tions of the front map lights.
Handling of the Stereo Cameras
CAUTION
xA function is included that will automatically detect that the fronts of the
stereo cameras are dirty. However it is not 100% effective.
Under certain conditions, this function may fail to detect that the fronts of
the stereo cameras have become dirty. In addition, this function may not
detect that there is snow or ice on the windshield close to the stereo cam-
eras. 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 fronts of the stereo cameras are dirty,
no EyeSight functions are activated except for Conventional Cruise
Control.
xThe stereo camera lenses are precision components. Always observe the
following precautions when handling them.
- Never touch the stereo camera lenses, and do not attempt to wipe or
clean the lenses. Doing so could cause lens damage or contamination
and lead to improper system performance.
If you ever touch a lens for any reason, be sure to contact a SUBARU
dealer.

- When cleaning the front
windshield, cover the cam-
era covers with plastic
wrap, such as food wrap-
ping, or something similar
to prevent glass cleaner
from getting on the cam-
era lenses.
- If having your vehicle
washed at a service sta-
tion, etc., be sure to
request that the attendant
covers the camera covers
before washing the vehi-
cle.
xDo not subject the stereo cameras to a strong impact.
xDo not remove or disassemble the stereo cameras.
xDo not change the positions where the stereo cameras are installed or
modify any of the surrounding structures.
xDo 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 cameras. Failure
to do so may affect the stereo cameras’ field of vision and could prevent
the EyeSight system from functioning properly.

xDo not install any accessories other than the ones designated by SUBARU on the pro-
hibited areas shown in the illustrations (grey zones). Doing so may affect the stereo
cameras’ field of view and could prevent the EyeSight system from functioning properly.
If you must affix any stickers, such as automobile inspection certificate stickers, or install
accessories, do not cover the front of the cameras. If abnormal EyeSight operation
occurs, remove the stickers or accessories.
xIf the top of the instrument panel is polished with chemicals or other substances, the ste-
reo cameras may not be able to detect objects accurately and the EyeSight system may
not operate properly due to reflections in the front windshield.
xDo not place any objects on top of the instrument panel and do not coat the surface
above the instrument panel with chemical liquid. The stereo cameras may not be able to
detect objects accurately and the EyeSight system may not function properly due to
reflections in the front windshield. For details, contact a SUBARU dealer.
xDo not install any wiper blades other than genuine SUBARU wiper blades. Doing so
may affect the stereo cameras’ field of vision and could prevent the EyeSight system
from functioning properly.
xReplace damaged wiper blades as soon as possible. The stereo cameras may not be
able to detect objects accurately and the EyeSight system may not function properly
due to liquid remaining on the windshield.
xKeep the windshield (outside and inside) clean at all times. When the windshield has
become fogged, or it has 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 air flow change may impact performance of the
EyeSight system.

xDo not place any stickers or accessories on the windshield (outside or
inside). If you have to do so (for example, legally required), avoid the area
in front of the camera. Doing so may adversely affect the field of vision of
the stereo camera and can cause improper operation of the system.
xDo not use any glass coating agents or similar substances on the wind-
shield. Doing so may prevent the system from operating correctly.
xIf there are scratches or cracks on the front windshield, contact a SUBARU
dealer.
xTo have the front windshield replaced or repaired, contact a SUBARU
dealer. Do not install a front windshield other than a genuine SUBARU
front windshield. The stereo cameras may not be able to detect objects
accurately and the EyeSight system may not operate properly.

EyeSight includes the following seven functions.
■Adaptive Cruise Control
This function maintains the set vehicle speed and when there is a vehicle in front in the
same traffic lane, it tracks the speed of the vehicle in front up to the maximum of the set
vehicle speed.
* Refer to page 21.
■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 the
driver’s vehicle. If the driver still does not take evasive action, the brakes are quickly applied
automatically just before the collision in order to reduce the collision damage or, if possible,
prevent the collision.
* Refer to page 43.
■Pre-Collision Throttle Management
This function reduces accidental forward movement caused by the selector lever being
placed in the wrong position or the accelerator pedal being accidently depressed, or
depressed too strongly.
* Refer to page 52.
■Lane Departure Warning
This function warns the driver when the vehicle is about to depart the traffic lane during driv-
ing.
* Refer to page 58.
■Lane Sway Warning
This system detects vehicle drifting caused by driver fatigue, failure to concentrate on the
road, inattention, strong crosswinds or other factors, and warns the driver.
* Refer to page 61.
■Lead Vehicle Start Alert
This function notifies the driver when the vehicle in front has started moving but the driver’s
vehicle has not.
* Refer to page 64.

■Conventional Cruise Control
In this mode, the system maintains a constant vehicle speed. Tracking of the vehicle in front
does not occur. This function can be used even when the stereo cameras have temporarily
stopped operating. (Refer to page 77.) (This function is used by switching from Adaptive
Cruise Control to Conventional Cruise Control.)
* Refer to page 65.
NOTE
EyeSight does not operate when the engine is not running.
