2016 SUBARU FORESTER warning

Pre-Collision Braking System
50
When the Pre-Collision Braking System is activated utilizing first braking or second braking
(when the system determines that there is a high risk of collision with an obstacle in front), if
the driver depresses the brake pedal, the system determines that this is emergency braking
and activates braking assist automatically.
CAUTION
The Pre-Collision Braking System will not activate when the EyeSight warn-
ing light ( ) is illuminated or flashing, or when the EyeSight temporarily
stops.
NOTE
Neither primary Pre-Collision Braking nor secondary Pre-Collision Braking
will operate in the following conditions.
xWhen the vehicle speed is approximately 1 MPH (1 km/h) or lower, or
approximately 100 MPH (160 km/h) or higher.
xWhen the Vehicle Dynamics Control is functioning.
Pre-Collision Braking Assist operation
CAUTION
If the driver depresses the brake pedal manually while following distance
warning is activated, the Pre-Collision Braking Assist will not work. (The
vehicle decelerates with the normal braking force operated by the driver.)
NOTE
xPre-Collision Braking Assist function does not operate when the vehicle
speed is approximately 7 MPH (10 km/h) or less or 100 MPH (160 km/h) or
more.
xFor information about the braking assist function, refer to the Owner’s
Manual for your vehicle.

52
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.

Lane Departure Warning
When vehicle speed is approximately 32 MPH
(50 km/h) or more, this function warns the
driver if the system detects that the vehicle is
likely to depart the traffic lane.
When Lane Departure Warning activates, a
buzzer sounds 6 short beeps, and the steer-
ing wheel indicator and right/left lane indica-
tors on the meter display all flash at the same
time. Also, a pop-up screen will be displayed
on the multi function display.

The Lane Departure Warning will activate at a faster rate than usual if lane sway was not
avoided after the warning buzzer activated.
* Refer to page 61.
WARNING
Lane Departure Warning will not operate in all conditions. It also will not auto-
matically return the vehicle to the original lane. If the driver relies only on the
Lane Departure Warning to keep the vehicle in the lane, lane departure may
occur, resulting in an accident.
The Lane Departure Warning activates when it detects lane markings. How-
ever, it is not a function which can detect the edge of a road (shoulders or
side ditches, etc.) and warn the driver.

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

Lane Sway Warning
This function detects wandering or drifting
within a lane, and warns the driver. When
Lane Sway Warning activates, a buzzer
sounds 6 short beeps, the steering wheel indi-
cator flashes and the lane indicators flash
alternately left/right on the meter display.
Also, a pop-up screen will be displayed on the

WARNING
Lane Sway Warning will not operate in all conditions. It also will not automati-
cally correct wandering. If the driver relies only on the Lane Sway Warning to
prevent the vehicle from wandering, an accident may occur.
CAUTION
Under the following conditions, the Lane Sway Warning may not operate.
xWhen driving on a winding road
xWhen vehicle speed changes greatly
xImmediately after a lane change
xWhen it is difficult for the EyeSight stereo cameras to detect lane markings
- There are no lane markings (white lines, etc.) or they are the very worn.
