2016 SUBARU FORESTER engine

Adaptive Cruise Control
40
NOTE
xIf EyeSight operation has temporarily stopped, the Pre-Collision Braking
System OFF indicator light and Lane Departure Warning OFF indicator
light illuminate, and a symbol from “E1” to “E3” is displayed on the meter
display when the main cruise control is on.
* Refer to page 77.
xAlso, a pop-up screen is displayed on the multi function display.
* Refer to page 81.
xIf EyeSight is malfunctioning, the EyeSight warning light and the Pre-
Collision Braking System OFF indicator light and Lane Departure Warning
OFF indicator light will illuminate. A pop-up screen will be displayed on the
multi function display. If this occurs, stop the vehicle in a safe location and
then turn off the engine and restart it. If the indicators remain illuminated
after restarting the engine, Adaptive Cruise Control cannot be used. This
will not interfere with ordinary driving; however the system should be
inspected by a SUBARU dealer as soon as possible.
* Refer to page 76.
xWhen the operation of Adaptive Cruise Control has been automatically
canceled, perform the set cruise control operation again after the condition
that caused the cancellation has been corrected. If the cruise control func-
tion cannot be set even after the condition has been corrected, EyeSight
may be malfunctioning. This will not interfere with ordinary driving; how-
ever the system should be inspected by a SUBARU dealer as soon as
possible.

Pre-Collision Braking System

ŸContinued from previous page
- 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 can-
not detect it.
- When 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.)
- When towing a trailer or vehicle, etc.
- When the brakes are cold due to outside temperature being low or just
after starting the engine.
- When the brakes are overheated on downhill grades (braking effective-
ness is reduced)
- When driving in rain or after washing the vehicle (the brakes are wet and
braking effectiveness is reduced)
- Recognition conditions of the stereo cameras
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)
• When visibility is poor due to sand, smoke or water vapor in the air or
when the vehicle in front or oncoming traffic causes water, snow, dirt,
dust or other substances to obscure the view through the windshield
• When driving at night or in a tunnel without the headlights on
• When driving at night or in a tunnel when there is a vehicle in front that
does not have its taillights on
• When approaching a motorcycle, bicycle or pedestrian at night
• When ambient light is poor in the evening or early morning
• When a vehicle, motorcycle, bicycle or pedestrian is outside the area
illuminated by the headlights
• When affected by strong light from the front (for example, sunlight at
dawn, sunset or headlight high beams, etc.)
• When there is snow, frost, dirt or dust on the windshield or it is clouded
• When fluid has not been fully wiped off the windshield during or after
washer use
• When the target cannot be correctly recognized because the stereo
cameras’ view is obstructed by water droplets from rain or the window
washer, or by the wiper blades.
• When the stereo cameras’ field of view is obstructed (for example by a
canoe on the roof of the vehicle)
• When the rear aspect of
the vehicle in front is
low, small or irregular
(the system may recog-
nize another part of the
vehicle as its rear and
will determine operation
from that)
- When there is an
empty truck or trailer
with no rear and/or
side panels on the
cargo bed
- With vehicles that
have cargo protruding
from their back ends
- With non-standard
shaped vehicles (vehicle transporters or vehicles with a sidecar
fitted, etc.)
- When the height of the vehicle is low, etc.

Pre-Collision Braking System
46
CAUTION
xIn the following situations, turn off the Pre-Collision Braking System. Other-
wise the Pre-Collision Braking System may activate unexpectedly.
- When the vehicle is being towed
- When loading the vehicle onto a carrier
- When a chassis dynamometer, free-rollers or similar equipment is used
- When a mechanic lifts up the vehicle, starts the engine and spins the
wheels freely
- When passing hanging banners, flags or branches, or when thick/tall
vegetation is contacting the vehicle
- When using a drive-through
car wash
xThe Pre-Collision Braking System may activate in the following situations.
Therefore concentrate on safe driving.
- When passing through an automatic gate (opening and shutting)
- When driving close to the vehicle in front
- When driving in a location where the grade of the road changes rapidly
- When passing through clouds of steam or smoke
- When the exhaust gas emitted by the vehicle in front is clearly visible in cold
weather, etc.

When pressing and holding the Pre-Collision
Braking System OFF switch for approximately
2 seconds (or longer), a single short beep will
sound and the Pre-Collision Braking System
(including Pre-Collision Brake Assist) will turn
off. When this control is turned off, the Pre-
Collision Braking System OFF indicator light
on the instrument panel illuminates. To turn
the control back on, press and hold the Pre-
Collision Braking System OFF switch for
approximately 2 seconds or longer again.
When this control is turned on, the Pre-
Collision Braking System OFF indicator light
will turn off.
■Pre-Collision Braking System OFF indicator light
This indicator light illuminates when the
ignition switch is turned to the ON position,
and remains illuminated for approximately 7
seconds after the engine starts. It turns on
when the Pre-Collision Braking System is
turned off.
It also illuminates under the following
conditions.
xWhen the VDC OFF switch is pressed and
VDC is canceled
xWhen the EyeSight system has a
malfunction
* Refer to page 76.
xWhen the EyeSight system has stopped
temporarily
* Refer to page 77.
Turning off the Pre-Collision Braking System
NOTE
xWhen the Pre-Collision Braking System is turned off, the Pre-Collision
Throttle Management Control function is also turned off.
xEven when the Pre-Collision Braking System is turned off, if the ignition
switch is turned off and the engine is then restarted, the Pre-Collision
Braking System will be turned on. The system default setting when the
vehicle is restarted in “ON”.

Pre-Collision Throttle Management
When an obstacle is detected in front of the
vehicle, and the vehicle is stopped or travel-
ling 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, a buzzer will sound several short beeps and the lead vehicle indi-
cator and the following distance setting indicator will blink in the meter display. Also, a pop-
up screen will be displayed in the multi function display.
This function only activates when the transmission 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 many situations. Always check the selector 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.
xPre-Collision Throttle Management is not designed to maintain the vehicle
in a stopped condition.
