xDo not install any accessories other than the ones designated by SUBARU on the pro-
hibited areas shown in the illustrations (grey zones). Doing so may affect the stereo
cameras’ field of view and could prevent the EyeSight system from functioning properly.
If you must affix any stickers, such as automobile inspection certificate stickers, or install
accessories, do not cover the front of the cameras. If abnormal EyeSight operation
occurs, remove the stickers or accessories.
xIf the top of the instrument panel is polished with chemicals or other substances, the ste-
reo cameras may not be able to detect objects accurately and the EyeSight system may
not operate properly due to reflections in the front windshield.
xDo not place any objects on top of the instrument panel and do not coat the surface
above the instrument panel with chemical liquid. The stereo cameras may not be able to
detect objects accurately and the EyeSight system may not function properly due to
reflections in the front windshield. For details, contact a SUBARU dealer.
xDo not install any wiper blades other than genuine SUBARU wiper blades. Doing so
may affect the stereo cameras’ field of vision and could prevent the EyeSight system
from functioning properly.
xReplace damaged wiper blades as soon as possible. The stereo cameras may not be
able to detect objects accurately and the EyeSight system may not function properly
due to liquid remaining on the windshield.
xKeep the windshield (outside and inside) clean at all times. When the windshield has
become fogged, or it has dirt or an oil film on it, the stereo camera may not detect
objects accurately and the EyeSight system may not operate correctly. Never mount
any device to the center air vent, as any air flow change may impact performance of the
EyeSight system.

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?
