2016 SUBARU LEGACY warning light

Pre-Collision Braking System
29
When the Pre-Collision Braking System is activated (when the system determines that there
is a high risk of collision with an obstacle in front), if the driver depresses the brake pedal,
the system determines that this is emergency braking and activates braking assist automat-
ically.xNeither first braking or secondary braking will operate in the following
cases.
- When your vehicle speed is approximately 1 MPH (1 km/h) or less
(When the selector lever is in the position and your vehicle speed is
approximately 2 MPH (4 km/h) or less) or 100 MPH (160 km/h) or more
- When Vehicle Dynamics Control is active
xIf the system detects the brake lights of the vehicle in front, your vehicle
will start decelerating earlier than if it does not.
xThere are some cases where the first braking is applied for a longer period
of time. One of the reasons for this is due to a large speed difference with
an obstacle in front. In those cases, stronger or weaker braking control
may be activated.
Pre-Collision Braking Assist operation
CAUTION
If the driver depresses the brake pedal manually while following distance
warning is activated, the Pre-Collision Braking Assist will not work. (The vehi-
cle decelerates with the normal braking force operated by the driver.)
NOTE
xPre-Collision Braking Assist function does not operate when the vehicle
speed is approximately 7 MPH (10 km/h) or less or 100 MPH (160 km/h) or
more.
xFor information about the braking assist function, refer to the Owner’s
Manual for your vehicle.

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. Through operation of the electronic parking brake,
the system uses the vehicle’s conventional braking system to stop your vehicle when the vehicle
in front is stopped. The vehicle is capable of being controlled at a speed between approximately 0
and 90 MPH (145 km/h). Please remember that you should not exceed posted speed limits.
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 prevent rear-end collisions.
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 conditions, and operate the brake pedal and take other action as neces-
sary.
xSet the set vehicle speed within a range that is appropriate to the road con-
ditions and surrounding environment.
xBefore using the system, perform a daily inspection and verify that there
are no malfunctions of the tires or brakes.
Ÿ Refer to the separate “Warranty and Maintenance Booklet”.
xThe system may not operate correctly under the conditions listed below.
When these conditions occur, do not use Adaptive Cruise Control.

- The brake pedal is depressed.
xEven when the following distance is short, the “brake more” warning may
not activate in the following situations.
- The difference in speed with the vehicle in front is small. (The two vehi-
cles are travelling at almost the same speed.)
- The vehicle in front is traveling faster than your vehicle. (The following
distance is gradually increasing.)
- Another vehicle cuts into your lane very close to your vehicle.
- The vehicle in front decelerates suddenly.
- When there are repeated uphill and downhill grades
xThe “brake more” warning may not activate in time in the case of a vehicle
that is stopped at the end of a line at a toll gate, at a stop light or intersec-
tion or in traffic congestion, or a vehicle that is moving much slower than
your vehicle. EyeSight requires a speed differential in order to recognize a
potential obstacle and react to it.
