●Automatic cancellation by the system
When the vehicle stops in accordance with the stopping of the vehicle in front, three short
beeps and a single long beep will sound and the Adaptive Cruise Control is automatically
cancelled.
In the following cases, a buzzer will sound a single long beep and Adaptive Cruise
Control is automatically canceled. Also, a pop-up screen will be displayed on the multi
function display.
* Refer to page 81.
xThe lead vehicle that your vehicle has been
tracking within a distance of approximately
100 ft (30 m) and at a speed differential of
approximately 20 MPH (30 km/h) or less is
no longer detected. (At this time the lead
vehicle indicator located in the meter
display will flash.)
xThe grade of the road is very steep.
xVehicle Dynamics Control or Traction
Control Function is activated.
xThe vehicle speed has exceeded approxi-
mately 100 MPH (160 km/h) while cruise control is set.
xThe steering wheel was turned significantly in either direction.
xThe transmission select lever is moved to a position other than .
NOTE
When the Adaptive Cruise
Control is turned to OFF, the
screen of the multi function
display will switch to the triple
meter screen.
* For details, refer to the
Owner’s Manual for your
vehicle.
CAUTION
The automatic braking function is released gradually approximately 2
seconds after stopping and the vehicle starts creeping forward. Be sure to
depress the brake pedal and stop the vehicle completely.

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.

■Resuming from temporal cancellation (returning to a vehicle
speed that was previously set)
When the vehicle speed which was previously
set is stored in memory, press the RES/+
switch to return to set that vehicle speed. (The
screens that indicate the set condition will
appear again on the meter display and the
multi function display.)

NOTE
The vehicle speed stored in memory is erased in the following circumstances:
xThe main cruise control was turned off by pressing the (CRUISE)
switch.
xVehicle Dynamics Control or Traction Control Function are activated.
xThe cruise control mode was switched from the Adaptive Cruise Control to
the Conventional Cruise Control.

■“Brake more” warning
The “brake more” warning is activated while Adaptive Cruise Control is tracking a lead
vehicle.
The “brake more” warning warns the driver when it determines that deceleration by current
driver braking control is insufficient.
When the ‘brake more’ function operates, the lead vehicle indicator will flash and a buzzer
will sound several short beeps. In addition, a pop-up screen will be displayed on the multi
function display (for Canada). For USA models, the warning message appears on the meter
display, above the multi function display.
When this function activates, depress the brake pedal as necessary to decelerate and
maintain a correct following distance.

WARNING
xIf the buzzer sounds frequently, do not use Adaptive Cruise Control.
xThe “brake more” warning will not activate in the following situations.
- The accelerator pedal is depressed.
- The brake pedal is depressed adequately.
xEven when the following distance is short, the “brake more” warning may
not activate in the following situations.
- The difference in speed with the vehicle in front is small. (The two vehi-
cles are travelling at almost the same speed.)
- The vehicle in front is traveling faster than your vehicle. (The following
distance is gradually increasing.)
- Another vehicle cuts into your lane very close to your vehicle.
- The vehicle in front decelerates suddenly.
- When there are repeated uphill and downhill grades
xThe “brake more” warning may not activate in time in the case of a vehicle that
is stopped at the end of a line at a toll gate, at a stop light or intersection or in
traffic congestion, or a vehicle that is moving much slower than your vehicle.

Pre-Collision Braking System
49
When there is an obstacle in the forward direction during driving, the system activates in the
following sequence in order to warn the driver, activate braking control, and active the brake
lights.
(1) Following Distance Warning:
When the system determines that there is a risk of collision, a buzzer sounds repeated short
beeps and the indicators on the meter display and the multi function display illuminate to
warn the driver.
The Following Distance Warning operates when Adaptive Cruise Control is not set.
When the driver depresses the brake pedal to decelerate and achieves a suitable following
distance, the warning is canceled.
(2) First Braking and Warning:
When the system determines that there is a high risk of collision with an obstacle in front, a
buzzer sounds repeated short beeps and the indicators on the meter display and the multi
function display illuminate to warn the driver, and braking control is activated. If the system
determines that the amount of evasive action (braking, steering, etc.) taken by the driver
has reduced the risk of collision, braking activation is canceled.
(3) Second Braking and Warning:
If the system then determines that the risk of collision is extremely high, the buzzer changes
to a continuous beeping sound and stronger braking control is activated. If, despite any eva-
sive action taken by the driver, the system subsequently determines that a collision is
unavoidable, braking control is continued.
When the vehicle stops, a buzzer sounds three short beeps and a single long beep. The
automatic braking function is cancelled approximately 2 seconds after the vehicle stops and
the vehicle starts creeping forward gradually.

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.
