- When passing through the entrance or exit of a tunnel
- When the rear aspect of the vehicle in front is low, small or irregular (for
example a low bed trailer, etc.)
- When there is a fence, a wall or a shutter, etc. with a uniform pattern (a
striped pattern, brick, etc.) or with no pattern in front
- When there is a wall or door made of glass or a mirror in front
- When driving at night or in a tunnel when there is a vehicle in front that
does not have its taillights on
- When passing a banner or flag, low branches on a tree or thick/tall vege-
tation
- On steep uphill or downhill grades
- When the stereo cameras are obstructed by a hand, etc. (If even one of
the cameras is obstructed, the system does not operate properly.)
- When it is completely dark and no objects are detected
- When the area around the vehicle has a uniform color (such as when
completely covered in snow, etc.)
- When the stereo camera lenses are dirty due to fingerprints, etc.
- When accurate detection is not possible due to reflections in the front
windshield
- When the stereo cameras have become misaligned due to a strong
impact
xUnder the conditions listed below, EyeSight may temporarily stop operat-
ing. If this occurs, EyeSight will resume operating when the conditions
improve.
- The temperature inside the vehicle is high, such as after the vehicle was
left in bright sunshine, or the temperature inside the vehicle is low, such
as after the vehicle was left in an extremely cold environment.
- Immediately after the engine starts
xWhen there is a malfunction in the EyeSight system, turn off the Pre-Colli-
sion Braking System (
Ÿ refer to page 30) and the Lane Departure Warning
(
Ÿ refer to page 70), and stop using the Adaptive Cruise Control and Con-
ventional Cruise Control. Contact a SUBARU dealer and have the system
inspected.
xWhen the Vehicle Dynamics Control warning light is illuminated, the Pre-
Collision Braking System may not operate properly. In this case, turn off
the Pre-Collision Braking System. Also, do not use the Adaptive Cruise
Control or Conventional Cruise Control.

- When cleaning the front
windshield, cover the front
of the camera casing with
paper that does not collect
dust, such as copy paper.
Affix the paper to prevent
glass cleaner from getting
on the camera lenses. At
this point, make sure that
the tape’s adhesive sur-
face does not come in
contact with the windshield
or the lens. Be sure to
remove the paper after cleaning.
- When having the inside of windshield cleaned at a service station, etc.,
be sure to request that the attendant covers the camera covers before
washing the vehicle.
- Do not subject the stereo cameras to a strong impact.
- Do not remove or disassemble the stereo cameras.
- Do not change the positions where the stereo cameras are installed or
modify any of the surrounding structures.
xDo not install an interior rearview mirror other than a genuine SUBARU
rearview mirror (such as a wide-type mirror) and the sun visor. Also, use
the rearview mirror so that it does not obstruct the stereo cameras. Failure
to do so may affect the stereo cameras’ field of vision and could prevent
the EyeSight system from functioning properly.

xWhen the stereo cameras’ field of view is obstructed (for example by a
canoe on the roof of the vehicle)
xWhen the rear aspect of
the vehicle in front is
low, small or irregular

vehicle as its rear and
will determine operation
from that)
- When there is an
empty truck or trailer
with no rear and/or
side panels on the
