About EyeSight
EyeSight is a driving support system that uses a range of functions to assist the driver in
making decisions in order to provide for more safe and comfortable driving and to reduce
driver fatigue. EyeSight makes use of original stereo cameras designed by SUBARU. Two
CCD (Charge Coupled Device) cameras are used to process stereo images and identify the
vehicle in front, obstacles, traffic lanes and other items.
EyeSight
WARNING
Drivers are responsible for driving safely. Strive for safe driving at all
times. Always maintain a safe following distance behind the vehicle in
front of you, pay attention to your surroundings and the driving condi-
tions, operate the brake pedal and take other action as necessary in
order to maintain a safe following distance.
Never attempt to drive relying on EyeSight alone.
EyeSight is intended to assist the driver in making decisions in order to
reduce the chance of accidents or damage and lessen the burden on the
driver.
When a warning is activated, pay attention to what is in front of you and
to your surroundings, operate the brake pedal and take other action as
necessary.
This system is not designed to support driving in poor visibility or in
extreme weather conditions, or to protect against careless driving
when the driver is not paying complete attention to the road ahead. It
also cannot prevent collisions from occurring in all driving conditions.
There are limits to the EyeSight recognition performance and control per-
formance. Be sure to read the instructions concerning Adaptive Cruise
Control, the Pre-Collision Braking System, Pre-Collision Throttle
Management and Conventional Cruise Control before using them and be
sure to use them correctly. We are not liable for accidents or other prob-
lems resulting from failure to follow the instructions in this manual.
The EyeSight system in your vehicle is designed for use in countries in
which traffic operates on the right-hand side of the road. EyeSight for
LHD vehicles such as yours is not designed for use in countries in which
vehicles are driven on the left-hand side of the road.
xThe system may not operate correctly under the conditions listed below. When
these conditions occur, turn off the Pre-Collision Braking System. Also, do not
use Adaptive Cruise Control and Conventional Cruise Control.
- The tire pressure is not correct.*
- The temporary spare tire is installed on any wheel.*
- Tires that are worn or have large variations in wear conditions are installed.*
- Tires other than those of the designated size are installed.*
- An emergency repair is performed using the flat tire repair kit.
- The suspension has been modified.
- Tire chains are installed.
- The headlights are dirty or the optical axes are not aligned correctly. (Objects
are not correctly illuminated and are difficult to detect.)
- Vehicle operation has become compromised due to an accident or malfunc-
tion.
- The brake warning light is illuminated.
- The vehicle is tilted due to a heavy cargo load.
- The maximum number of occupants and/or the gross vehicle weight rating is
exceeded.
*The wheels and tires have functions that are critically important. Be sure to
use the correct ones. For details, refer to the Owner’s Manual for your vehicle.
xThe system may not operate correctly when towing a trailer or another vehicle.
Do not use Adaptive Cruise Control in these situations.

NOTE
xEyeSight records and stores the following data when the secondary brak-
ing of the Pre-Collision Braking System is operated. It does not record con-
versations or other audio data.
- Stereo camera image data
- Distance from the vehicle in front
- Vehicle speed
- Steering wheel turning angle
- Lateral movement with regard to the direction of travel
- Accelerator pedal operation status
- Brake pedal operation status
- Select lever position
- Data related to ABS, Vehicle Dynamics Control and Traction Control
Function
SUBARU and third parties contracted by SUBARU may acquire and use
the recorded data for the purpose of vehicle research and development.
SUBARU and third parties contracted by SUBARU will not disclose or
provide the acquired data to any other third party except under the fol-
lowing conditions.
• The vehicle owner has given his/her consent.
• The disclosure/provision is based on a court order or other legally
enforceable request.
• Data that has been modified so that the user and vehicle cannot be
identified is provided to a research institution for statistical processing
or similar purposes.

About EyeSight

EyeSight includes the following seven functions.
■Adaptive Cruise Control
This function maintains the set vehicle speed and when there is a vehicle in front in the
same traffic lane, it tracks the speed of the vehicle in front up to the maximum of the set
vehicle speed.
* Refer to page 21.
■Pre-Collision Braking System
This function uses a following distance warning feature to warn the driver to take evasive
action when there is the possibility of a collision with a vehicle or obstacle in front of the
driver’s vehicle. If the driver still does not take evasive action, the brakes are quickly applied
automatically just before the collision in order to reduce the collision damage or, if possible,
prevent the collision.
* Refer to page 43.
■Pre-Collision Throttle Management
This function reduces accidental forward movement caused by the selector lever being
placed in the wrong position or the accelerator pedal being accidently depressed, or
depressed too strongly.
* Refer to page 52.
■Lane Departure Warning
This function warns the driver when the vehicle is about to depart the traffic lane during driv-
ing.
* Refer to page 58.
■Lane Sway Warning
This system detects vehicle drifting caused by driver fatigue, failure to concentrate on the
road, inattention, strong crosswinds or other factors, and warns the driver.
* Refer to page 61.
■Lead Vehicle Start Alert
This function notifies the driver when the vehicle in front has started moving but the driver’s
vehicle has not.
* Refer to page 64.
