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.

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.

●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.

Adaptive Cruise Control
Adaptive Cruise Control is a driving support system intended to allow more comfortable
driving on expressways, freeways and interstate highways. The vehicle in front in the same
traffic lane is detected by means of the stereo cameras, and your vehicle tracks the vehicle
in front (up to the maximum speed of the set vehicle speed) while automatically maintaining
a following distance that corresponds to the speed of the vehicle in front. Please remember
that you should not exceed posted speed limits. The vehicle is not equipped with a function
that helps maintain the vehicle’s standstill position without a driver’s operation.

WARNING
xThis system does not provide the driver with an automatic driving function
that handles all traffic conditions.
xDo not rely excessively on Adaptive Cruise Control. This system is not
intended to assist in driving when the driver is not paying full attention to
what is ahead of him/her due to distractions or a lack of concentration
while driving, or under conditions of poor visibility. It is not intended to pre-
vent rear-end collisions.
Strive for safe driving at all times. Always maintain a safe following dis-
tance behind the vehicle in front of you, pay attention to your surroundings
and the driving conditions, and operate the brake pedal and take other
action as necessary.
xSet the set vehicle speed within a range that is appropriate to the road con-
ditions and surrounding environment.
xThe system may not operate correctly under the conditions listed below.
When these conditions occur, do not use Adaptive 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 mal-
function.
- 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 rat-
ing has been exceeded.
- When towing a trailer or another vehicle, etc.
*The wheels and tires have functions that are critically important. Be sure
to use the correct parts. For details, refer to the Owner’s Manual for your
vehicle.
xAdaptive Cruise Control is designed for use on expressways, freeways, toll
roads, interstate highways and similar limited access roads. It is not
intended to be used in city traffic. In the following conditions, do not use
Adaptive Cruise Control. Doing so may result in an accident.
- Ordinary roads (roads other than those mentioned above)
Depending on the driving environment (complexity of roads and other
factors), the system may not be able to perform as the traffic conditions
require, and that may result in an accident.
- Roads with sharp curves or winding roads
- Frozen roads, snow-covered roads or other slippery road surfaces
The tires may spin, causing loss of control of the vehicle.
