2016 SUBARU LEGACY cruise control

Adaptive Cruise Control
50
WARNING
Do not use Adaptive Cruise Control on slippery roads. Doing so may result in
an accident.
CAUTION
When shifting the selector lever to the position, Adaptive Cruise Control
will be automatically canceled. Do not shift the lever to the position unless
it is an emergency. Otherwise the engine brake may not operate, which could
cause an accident.
NOTE
xIf EyeSight operation has temporarily stopped, the Pre-Collision Braking
System OFF indicator light and Lane Departure Warning OFF indicator
light illuminate, and the EyeSight temporary stop indicator is displayed on
the multi information display.
Ÿ Refer to page 87.
xIf EyeSight is malfunctioning, the EyeSight warning indicator is displayed
on the multi information display, and the Pre-Collision Braking System
OFF indicator light and Lane Departure Warning OFF indicator light will
also illuminate. If this occurs, stop the vehicle in a safe location and then
turn off the engine and restart it. If the indicators remain illuminated after
restarting the engine, Adaptive Cruise Control cannot be used. This will not
interfere with ordinary driving; however the system should be inspected by
a SUBARU dealer as soon as possible.
Ÿ Refer to page 86.
xWhen the operation of Adaptive Cruise Control has been automatically
canceled, perform the set cruise control operation again after the condition
that caused the cancellation has been corrected. If the cruise control func-
tion cannot be set even after the condition has been corrected, EyeSight
may be malfunctioning. This will not interfere with ordinary driving; how-
ever contact a SUBARU dealer and have the system inspected.

■Returning to a vehicle speed that was previously set
The vehicle speed which was previously set is stored in memory.* To return to set that vehi-
cle speed, press the RES/SET switch to the RES/+. ( on the EyeSight display area illu-
minates again to indicate that the system has returned to the set status again.)
NOTE
*The vehicle speed stored in memory is erased in the following circum-
stances:
xThe cruise control is turned off by pressing the (CRUISE) switch.
xVehicle Dynamics Control or Traction Control Function are activated.
xThe cruise control mode was switched from Adaptive Cruise Control to
Conventional Cruise Control.

■“Brake more” warning
The “brake more” warning is activated while Adaptive Cruise Control is tracking a lead vehi-
cle. This function warns the driver when it determines that the current level of deceleration
by automatic braking control is insufficient.
xWhen the ‘brake more’ function operates,
“Obstacle Detected” will be shown in the
pop-up screen area of the multi information
display, a lead vehicle indicator will flash,
and a buzzer will sound several short
beeps.
xWhen this function activates, depress the
brake pedal to decelerate and maintain a
correct following distance.
Other functions
WARNING
xIf the buzzer sounds frequently, do not use Adaptive Cruise Control.
xThe “brake more” warning will not activate in the following situations.
- The accelerator pedal is depressed.
- 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.

53
NOTE
xVehicles in front in the same traffic lane are detected by the stereo cam-
eras within a distance of approximately 360 ft (110 m) in the forward direc-
tion. However the detection distance may be reduced depending on the
traffic environment, driving conditions, and conditions of the vehicle in
front.
xIf does not illuminate when the (CRUISE) switch is pressed,
there may be a malfunction in the system. Contact a SUBARU dealer and
have the system inspected.

Conventional Cruise Control

Conventional Cruise Control
Conventional Cruise Control is a driving support system intended to allow more comfortable
driving on expressways, freeways and interstate highways. It can be used to travel at a con-
stant speed by maintaining the vehicle speed that was set by the driver. Please remember
that you should not exceed posted speed limits.
About Conventional Cruise Control
WARNING
xWhen Conventional Cruise Control is functioning, the system does not per-
form tracking control to maintain following distance, as when using Adap-
tive Cruise Control.
Strive for safe driving and operate the brake pedal to decelerate the vehi-
cle as necessary in order to ensure a safe following distance from the vehi-
cle in front.
xUnder the following conditions, do not use the Conventional Cruise
Control. Doing so may result in an accident.
- Roads with heavy traffic or roads with sharp curves
You may fail to drive at a speed that is appropriate for the road condi-
tions, possibly resulting in an accident.
- Frozen roads, snow-covered roads or slippery road surfaces
The tires may spin, causing loss of control of the vehicle.
- Steep downhill grades
The set vehicle speed may be exceeded.
- On a steep continuous downhill grade
The brakes may overheat.
CAUTION
When using Cruise Control, be sure to check the EyeSight display area to
confirm which Cruise Control mode is selected: Adaptive Cruise Control or
Conventional Cruise Control.
xIf Adaptive Cruise Control is selected,
“” (Adaptive Cruise Control
indicator) illuminates.
xIf Conventional Cruise Control is selected,
“” (Conventional Cruise
Control indicator) illuminates.
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 / (fol-
lowing 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.)
xConventional Cruise Control can be used even when EyeSight is tempo-
rarily turned off.

Conventional Cruise Control
76
Conventional Cruise Control can be set when the following conditions are met.
- The selector lever is in the position and the paddle shift is not operated.
- The brake pedal is released.
- The vehicle speed is between approximately 25 MPH (40 km/h) and 90 MPH (145
km/h).
■Setting Conventional Cruise Control
(1) Setting the Conventional Cruise Control to standby status.
Press the (CRUISE) switch. At this time, (Adaptive Cruise Control) and the
“following distance setting” are displayed on the EyeSight display area of the multi infor-
mation display. The set vehicle speed display will read “- - MPH”.
When the (CRUISE) switch is pressed, the initial cruise control mode is always
Adaptive Cruise Control.
If the switch is pressed once more, the EyeSight display will turn off. It will also automatically
turn off when the engine is stopped.

(4) When the vehicle speed is between approximately 25 MPH (40 km/h) and 90 MPH (145
km/h), press the RES/SET switch to the “SET/-”.
The vehicle speed at the time the switch is pressed becomes the set vehicle speed, and
constant-speed driving is engaged.
and the set vehicle speed are displayed on the EyeSight display area.
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
xOn a downhill grade, automatic braking may operate in order to maintain
the set vehicle speed.
xWhen driving on a curve, the vehicle may not accelerate, or may deceler-
ate, even if the set speed is higher than the current vehicle speed.
xTo return to Adaptive Cruise Control use, cancel the Conventional Cruise
Control and then briefly press the / (following distance setting)
switch.
