EyeSight malfunction and temporary stop
If a malfunction is detected in the EyeSight system, the indicators in the meter display and
the multi function display inform the driver of the malfunction. Check the displayed contents
and take the appropriate action.
■Malfunction (including position/angle misalignment of stereo cameras)
The buzzer sounds 1 short beep and the
EyeSight warning light flashes or
illuminates. At the same time, the Pre-
Collision Braking System OFF indicator light
and the Lane Departure Warning OFF
indicator light will illuminate. A message will
also be displayed on the multi function
display.
Display Cause Action
An EyeSight malfunction or
position/angle misalignment
of stereo cameras has
occurred.Inspection and adjustment is
necessary.
Contact your SUBARU
dealer.
CAUTION
In the following conditions, the EyeSight warning light will illuminate. While
the warning light is illuminated, the EyeSight system cannot be used.
xThe stereo cameras are malfunctioning. Contact your SUBARU dealer for
an inspection.
xThe components related to the EyeSight system are malfunctioning (for
example, the engine warning light illuminates). Immediately stop the
vehicle in a safe location, and contact your SUBARU dealer for an
inspection.
NOTE
xIf the EyeSight warning light illuminated or flashed, stop the vehicle in a
safe location, and after stopping the engine once, restart the engine.
xIf the indicator continues illuminating or flashing even after the engine has
been restarted, the EyeSight system has a malfunction. In this case, all
EyeSight functions will be stopped. Normal driving will still be possible.
However, contact a SUBARU dealer for an inspection.

EyeSight malfunction and temporary stop
77
■Temporary stop
The buzzer will sound one short beep, and the
Pre-Collision Braking System OFF indicator
light and Lane Departure Warning OFF
indicator light will illuminate at the same time.
A symbol of “E1”, “E2” or “E3” is displayed on
the meter display, and a pop-up screen is
displayed on the multi function display. (When
the main cruise control is off, they are not
displayed.)
When the cause has been eliminated,
temporary stop will be canceled and the
EyeSight system will automatically restart.
Display Cause Action

It is difficult for the stereo
cameras to detect objects in
front
xThe front windshield is
dirty or fogged up
xPoor weather conditions
xStrong light from the front
xExtremely hot or cold
temperaturesxClean the front windshield.
xIn bad weather or if there is
strong light from the front,
the EyeSight system will
restart once you have
driven your vehicle for a
period of time and the
conditions affecting the
system have improved.
Also, as the “E1” screen
will be displayed after the
“E2” screen, once
operation of the cameras is
stable, the system will
restart. In either case, it
may take some time for the
system to restart.
If the system does not
restart, even after the
conditions have improved
and a period of time has
elapsed, contact your
SUBARU dealer for an
inspection.

In low or high temperatures The system will restart once
the temperature is within the
operational range of the
EyeSight system.
If the system does not
restart, even when the
temperature inside the
vehicle is normal, contact
your SUBARU dealer for an
inspection.

xWhen the EyeSight
system is starting
xWhen the system has
determined that the
vehicle is extremely
inclined
xWhen the pre-collision
secondary braking has
operated 3 times after the
engine was started
xWhen the engine stops
(except for the stop due to
the start stop function).The system will restart once
the cause has been
eliminated. At this time, it
may take some time for the
system to restart.
If the system does not
restart, even after the
conditions have improved
and a period of time has
elapsed, contact your
SUBARU dealer for an
inspection.
NOTE
When a symbol from “E1” to “E3” (EyeSight temporary stop indicators) is
displayed, no EyeSight functions can be used except for Conventional Cruise
Control.

Troubleshooting
85
A vehicle (in front of your vehicle) is not detected, is detected later or detection is
lost quickly.
Is the vehicle in front stopped, moving slowly relative to your vehicle or moving
extremely slowly?
Detection of stopped vehicles, vehicle moving slowly relative to your vehicle, and
vehicles moving extremely slowly may be difficult.
Is the windshield dirty or fogged?
If the windshield is dirty or fogged, it may not be possible to detect object or vehi-
cles. Clean off the dirt or fog from the windshield, and then try using the system
again.
Is the vehicle in front far away?
The maximum detection distance of EyeSight’s stereo cameras is approximately
265 ft (80 m). Detection is not possible if the vehicle is farther away.
Is the vehicle on a curve?
The detection range is limited in the left and right directions to approximately a 25-
degree arc from the vehicle centerline when the cameras are properly aimed.
Is the vehicle on a road with repeated uphill and downhill grades (such as an over-
pass), or on a banked road?
The detection range is limited in the up and down directions.
Did the vehicle detected in front change?
Detection may be delayed after the vehicle in front has changed.
Have water, snow or other substances been kicked up by the vehicle in front as it
drives?
When water or snow have been kicked up, it may not be possible to detect the
vehicle in front.
Control is activated even though no vehicle in front is detected?
Is there a vehicle in the neighboring lane?
Depending on the road conditions, vehicles in neighboring lanes may be detected
as well as a vehicle directly in front.
Are you driving on or near a curve?
When driving on a curve, braking control may be activated in response to guard
rails, the angle of the steering wheel, or roadside structures.
The Lead Vehicle Start Alert activates, even though there is no vehicle in front.
Depending on surrounding objects, traffic environment and weather, the Lead
Vehicle Start Alert may issue a warning in response to objects other than a vehicle
that appear in front of your vehicle.

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?
