●Selector indicator/shift position indicator
xDisplays the selector lever position or the selected gear position.
xFor turbo models, when the Adaptive Cruise Control / Conventional Cruise Control is set
while S# (Sports Sharp mode) of SI-DRIVE is selected, the display switches from the gear
position to the D position.
●Lane indicator
xWhen the Lane Departure Warning is activated, both the left and right indicators flash
simultaneously.
xWhen the Lane Sway Warning is activated, the left and right indicators flash alternately.
* Refer to pages 58 and 61.
●Steering wheel indicator
Flashes when the Lane Departure Warning or Lane Sway Warning is active.
* Refer to pages 58 and 61.
●EyeSight temporary stop indicator
xIf a malfunction occurs in the EyeSight system, the Pre-Collision Braking System OFF
indicator light and the Lane Departure Warning OFF indicator light illuminate and a sym-
bol from “E1” to “E3” will be displayed on the meter display. However, when the main
cruise control is in the OFF position, the symbol will not be displayed.
xWhen it is displayed, none of the EyeSight functions can be used except for Conventional
Cruise Control.
* Refer to page 77.
●Customization display
The settings of the alarm volume, the lead vehicle acquisition sound and the lead vehicle
start alert function can be customized when all of the following conditions are met: the
engine is running, the main cruise control is in the OFF position and the selector lever is in
the P position.
* Refer to page 79.
●EyeSight warning light
xThis indicator illuminates or flashes when a malfunction occurs in the EyeSight system.
xIt also illuminates when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position and then it turns off
approximately 5 seconds after the engine starts.
xWhen it is illuminated or flashing, none of the EyeSight functions can be used (including
Adaptive Cruise Control and the Pre-Collision Braking System, etc.).
* Refer to page 76.
●Brake system warning light (red)
If the brake system warning light illuminates during driving while the parking brake is fully
released, turn off the Pre-Collision Braking System. Also, do not use Adaptive Cruise Con-
trol or Conventional Cruise Control.
*Refer to the vehicle Owner’s Manual for details.

● (Following distance setting) switch
xCan be used to switch the set following distance in 3 stages: Far, Medium and Close (only
when Adaptive Cruise Control is set).
* Refer to page 36.
xWhen the (CRUISE) switch is on, press and hold this switch for approximately 2
seconds or longer to select Adaptive Cruise Control or Conventional Cruise Control.
●SI-DRIVE* switch
Selects the tracking characteristics linked with the SI-DRIVE (only when adaptive cruise
control is set).
*SI-DRIVE refers to SUBARU Intelligent Drive.
▼Turbo model
- S/I switch
xSwitches between I (Intelligent mode) and S (Sports mode) every time it’s pressed.
xWhile S# (Sports Sharp mode) is selected, press the switch to change to S (Sports
mode).
- S#/I switch
xPress the switch to change to S# (Sports Sharp mode).
xWhile S# (Sports Sharp mode) is selected, press the switch will change to I (Intelligent
mode).
▼Except for turbo model
- S switch
xPress this switch to change to S (Sports mode).
- I switch
xPress this switch to change to I (Intelligent mode).
●SI-DRIVE cooperative control
The characteristics of adaptive cruise control will vary depending on the SI-DRIVE mode
selection.
I (Intelligent mode) selected Tracks the vehicle in front speed with smooth motions.
S (Sports mode) selectedVehicle in front tracking performance is given priority,
resulting in tracking with frequent changes in speed.
S# (Sports Sharp mode)
selected The same vehicle in front tracking as S (Sports mode) is
performed. The S# (Sports Sharp) response is provided
when the driver operates the accelerator pedal.

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.

NOTE
xWhen the (CRUISE) switch is first turned on, the Adaptive Cruise
Control is set.
xTo change the Cruise Control mode, press and hold the (following
distance setting) switch for approximately 2 seconds or longer.
(This is effective only when the main Cruise Control is on and neither
Adaptive Cruise Control nor Conventional Cruise Control are set.)
xEven when the EyeSight function temporarily stops, the Conventional
Cruise Control can be used.

Conventional Cruise Control

WARNING
The “brake more” warning will not activate while Conventional Cruise Control
is functioning.
CAUTION
During Conventional Cruise Control use, accelerator and brake control to
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
mode) of SI-DRIVE is selected, the gear shift position display in the meter
switches from the current gear position to the position.
