Lead Vehicle Start Alert
This function notifies the driver by means of a
buzzer and the lead vehicle indicator on the
multi information display when the driver’s
vehicle remains stopped after the vehicle in
front has started to move forward. When the
vehicle in front remains stopped continuously
(within a following distance of approximately
32 ft (10 m) and the driver’s vehicle remains
stopped for several seconds or longer), the
system continues to detect the vehicle in front
and this alarm activates if the vehicle in front
advances approximately 10 ft (3 m) or more while the driver’s vehicle remains stationary.
This function only activates when the select lever is in the , or position.
When the Lead Vehicle Start Alert activates, a buzzer sounds a two-tone beep and the lead
vehicle indicator on the meter display flashes. Also, a pop-up screen will be displayed on
the multi function display.

NOTE
xThe Lead Vehicle Start Alert function setting can be turned on or off.
* Refer to page 79.
xUnder the following conditions, the Lead Vehicle Start Alert may activate
even when the vehicle in front has not started to move, or may not activate
even after the vehicle in front has started to move:
- A motorcycle or similar object has cut in between your vehicle and the
stopped vehicle in front.
- Weather or road conditions prevent detection of the vehicle in front.
- The EyeSight stereo cameras lose detection of the vehicle in front.
- This function will not activate when the select lever is in the , or
position and the driver has not manually depressed the brake pedal.

Conventional Cruise Control

Conventional Cruise Control
Conventional Cruise Control is a driving support system intended to allow more comfortable
driving on expressways, freeways and interstate highways. It can be used to travel at a con-
stant speed by maintaining the vehicle speed that was set by the driver (approximately 25
MPH (40 km/h) to 90 MPH (145 km/h)). Please remember that you should not exceed
posted speed limits.
About Conventional Cruise Control
WARNING
xWhen Conventional Cruise Control is functioning, the system does not per-
form tracking control to maintain following distance, as when using Adap-
tive Cruise Control.
Strive for safe driving and operate the brake pedal to decelerate the vehi-
cle as necessary in order to ensure a safe following distance from the vehi-
cle in front.
xUnder the following conditions, do not use the Conventional Cruise
Control. Doing so may result in an accident.
- Roads with heavy traffic or roads with sharp curves
You may fail to drive at a speed that is appropriate for the road condi-
tions, possibly resulting in an accident.
- Frozen roads, snow-covered roads or slippery road surfaces
The tires may spin, causing loss of control of the vehicle.
- Steep downhill grades
The set vehicle speed may be exceeded.
- On a steep continuous downhill grade
The brakes may overheat.
- When towing a trailer.
CAUTION
When using Cruise Control, be sure to check the display screen to confirm
which Cruise Control mode is selected: Adaptive Cruise Control or
Conventional Cruise Control.

Conventional Cruise Control can be set when the following conditions are met.
- The select lever is in the position.
- The brake pedal is released.
- The vehicle speed is between approximately 25 MPH (40 km/h) and 90 MPH (145
km/h).
■When setting Conventional Cruise Control
(1) Setting the Conventional Cruise Control to standby status.
Press the (CRUISE) switch. At this time, (Adaptive Cruise Control) and the
(following distance setting) are displayed on the EyeSight display in the meter display. The
trip meter changes to the set vehicle speed display, and it will read “- - - MPH (USA) or km/h
(Canada)”. When the (CRUISE) switch is pressed, the initial cruise control mode is
always Adaptive Cruise Control.
If the switch is pressed once more, the EyeSight display will turn off. It will also automatically
turn off when the engine is stopped.
How to use the Conventional Cruise Control
NOTE
When the main cruise control is
turned on by pressing the
(CRUISE) switch, the multi
function display will switch to
the EyeSight screen.
To return to the triple meter or

track the vehicle in front is not performed. Operate the accelerator and brake
pedals as necessary.
NOTE
xThe set vehicle speed can be adjusted between 25 MPH (40 km/h) and 90
MPH (145 km/h).
xDuring Conventional Cruise Control use, the set vehicle speed is not
shown on the multi function display.
xOn a downhill grade, automatic braking may operate in order to maintain
the set vehicle speed.
xTo return to Adaptive Cruise Control use, cancel the Conventional Cruise
Control then press and hold the (following distance setting) switch for
approximately 2 seconds or longer.
xFor turbo models, when the vehicle speed is set while S# (Sports Sharp

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.

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.
