Lane Departure Warning
59
CAUTION
In the following situations, the Lane Departure Warning will or may not acti-
vate:
xVehicle speed is approximately 32 MPH (50 km/h) or less.
xFor approximately 7 seconds after the Lane Departure Warning activates
once
xWhen the steering wheel is turned significantly to either side
xWhen the brake pedal is depressed or immediately after it is depressed
xWhen the accelerator pedal is almost fully depressed and the vehicle is

Departure Warning has activated
xThe lane is narrow.
xWhen it is difficult for the camera to detect lane markings
- There are no lane markings (white lines, etc.) or they are very worn.
- It is difficult to detect lane markings as they are similar in color to the
road surface.
- The lane markings are narrow.
xWhen the lead vehicle has taken measures to avoid an obstacle and fol-
lowing this you have performed steering operations
NOTE
xThe following situations may cause incorrect lane detection and a faulty
Lane Departure Warning to occur.
- Tire tracks on a wet road or snow-covered road
- Boundaries between snow and asphalt, marks from road repair, etc.
- Double lane lines, etc.
- Shadows of guardrails, etc.
xWhen the Lane Departure Warning OFF indicator light is illuminated, the
Lane Departure Warning is inactive.
* Refer to page 60.

Conventional Cruise Control
72
xPress the (CRUISE) switch.
The EyeSight display in the meter will
disappear and the Conventional Cruise
Control will turn off.
●Automatic cancellation by the system
In the following cases, a buzzer sounds a single long beep and the Cruise control function is
automatically canceled.
xThe select lever was moved to a position other than .
- The cruise control function can be used again after the lever is returned to the
position.
xA paddle shift switch was operated during driving with the lever in the position.
- The cruise control function can be used again after the paddle shift switch will not be
operated for a while. (The shift position will return to the position unless S# (Sports
Sharp mode) of SI-DRIVE is selected on turbo models).
xVehicle Dynamics Control was turned off.
- The cruise control function can be used again when Vehicle Dynamics Control is turned
back on.
xX-mode is turned on. (The X-mode indicator illuminates.)
- The cruise control function can be used again when X-mode is turned off.
xVehicle speed drops to approximately 20 MPH (30 km/h) or less (due to a steep uphill
grade or some other reason).
xVehicle speed rises to approximately 100 MPH (160 km/h) or more (due to a steep down-
hill grade or some other reason).
xThe Vehicle Dynamics Control or Traction Control functions activate.
xAny door of the driver’s, front passenger’s and rear doors is opened.
xThe driver’s seatbelt is unfastened.
xThe parking brake is engaged (when the brake warning light illuminates).
xEyeSight is malfunctioning . (Refer to page 76, “EyeSight malfunction and temporary
stop”.)
xThe steering wheel is turned significantly in either direction.
xThe grade of the road is steep.
WARNING
Do not use Conventional Cruise Control on slippery roads. Doing so may
result in an accident.

Conventional Cruise Control
73
CAUTION
If the selector lever is shifted to the position, the Conventional Cruise
Control will automatically be cancelled. However, do not shift the selector
lever into the position while driving except for an emergency. Doing so will
eliminate the engine’s tendency to brake the vehicle.
NOTE
xIf EyeSight is malfunctioning, the EyeSight warning indicator light, Pre-
Collision Braking System OFF indicator light and Lane Departure Warning
OFF indicator light illuminate. Also, a pop-up screen will be displayed on
the multi function display. If this occurs, stop the vehicle in a safe location
and then stop the engine and restart it. If the indicators remain illuminated
after restarting the engine, Conventional 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 operation of Conventional Cruise Control has been automatically
canceled, perform the set operation again after the condition that caused
the cancellation has been eliminated. If cruise control cannot be set even
after the condition has been corrected, EyeSight may be malfunctioning.
This will not interfere with ordinary driving; however the system should be
inspected by a SUBARU dealer as soon as possible.

Troubleshooting
Cruise control cannot be set.
Did you remember to press the (CRUISE) switch?
If you have not pressed the (CRUISE) switch, the (Adaptive Cruise
Control) indicator will not be shown.
Is EyeSight operation temporarily stopped?
When EyeSight is temporarily stopped, one of the EyeSight temporary stop indi-
cators (“E1”, “E2” or “E3”) will be displayed on the data display.
Set cruise control again after the reason for the temporary stop has been cor-
rected.
Is the [READY] indicator displayed?
When Adaptive Cruise Control is being used Cruise control cannot be set when
the [READY] indicator is not displayed. Set cruise control when the [READY] indi-
cator is displayed.
The [READY] indicator is not displayed.
Have you selected Conventional Cruise Control?
With Conventional Cruise Control, (following distance setting) will not be dis-
played on the meter display.
Are the requirements for setting cruise control met?
In any of the following cases, the [READY] indicator will not be displayed.
xThe brake pedal is depressed.
xThe vehicle speed is over 90 MPH (145 km/h). (When no vehicle in front
has been detected, the speed is between approximately 25 MPH (40 km/h)
and 90 MPH (145 km/h).)
xThe meter display indicates that the shift position indicator is in any posi-
tion other than . (The select lever or paddle shift switches are manually
operated.)
xThe driver’s seatbelt is unfastened.
xAny door of the driver’s, front passenger’s and rear doors is opened.
xThe parking brake is applied (when the brake warning light is illuminated).
xThe vehicle is on a steep grade.
xThe steering wheel is turned significantly in either direction.
xVehicle Dynamics Control is off, or is turned off.
xThe X-mode is turned on. (The X-mode indicator illuminates.)

Troubleshooting
86
EyeSight does not restart after a temporary stop.
Is Vehicle Dynamics Control turned off?
EyeSight cannot be activated when Vehicle Dynamics Control is off.
Is the X-mode turned on?
EyeSight cannot be activated when the X-mode is turned on.
Are you driving in the rain with old wipers or is there an oily film on the windshield?
Replace the wipers with new ones, or clean the oily film off the windshield.
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.
The timing of the “brake more” warning is sometimes earlier and sometimes later
than what seems to be normal operation.
The “brake more” 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. As a result, timing may vary depending on how the
brake of the vehicle in front is applied.
Acceleration is sometimes slower and sometimes faster when the vehicle in front
is no longer detected.
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.
Which SI-DRIVE mode is selected?
The acceleration varies due to the characteristics change of Adaptive Cruise Con-
trol depending on which mode is selected.
Cruise control is canceled automatically.
Did you perform one of the following operations?
xManually depressing the brake pedal
xPressing the CANCEL switch for cruise control
xOperating the paddle shift lever
xShifting the selector lever to the position
xPressing the Vehicle Dynamics Control OFF switch (VDC OFF indicator
illuminates.)
xPressing the X-mode switch (X mode indicator illuminates.)
Has the EyeSight system temporarily stopped?
