About EyeSight
3
The EyeSight system in your vehicle is designed for use in coun-
tries 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.
*1
- The temporary spare tire is installed on any wheel.*1
- Tires that are worn or have large variations in wear conditions are
installed.*1
- Tires other than those of the designated size are installed.*1
- Flat tires have been fixed temporarily with a tire repair kit.
- The suspension has been modified (including a genuine SUBARU sus-
pension that has been modified).
- Any object that disturbs the stereo cameras’ view is installed on the vehi-
cle.

CAUTION
xThe characteristics of the stereo cameras are similar to those of human
eyes. For this reason, conditions that make it difficult for the driver to see
in the forward direction have the same effect on the stereo cameras and
make it difficult for the system to detect vehicles, obstacles and traffic
lanes.
xDetection by the EyeSight system is limited to objects that are within the
range of the stereo cameras’ field of vision. Also, after an object enters the
range of the cameras’ field of vision, it may take some time for the system
to detect it as a controllable target and warn the driver.
xUnder the conditions listed below, it will become more difficult for the sys-
tem to detect the vehicle in front, motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrians and
obstacles on the road, and lane markers. Also, EyeSight may temporarily
stop operating. However, the temporary stop will be canceled once these
conditions have improved and the vehicle is driven for a short period of
time.
- Bad weather (for example heavy rain, a blizzard or thick fog). In particu-
lar, the system is more likely to temporarily stop operating when there is
an oil film adhering to the windshield, a glass coating has been applied
or old wipers are used.)
- When affected by strong light from the front (sunlight or headlight beams
of oncoming traffic, etc.)
- When the front windshield washer is being used.
- The windshield has become fogged, or snow, dirt, dust or frost has
adhered to it, reducing the stereo cameras’ field of view.
- The vehicle is tilted at an extreme angle due to loaded cargo or other
factors.
- When visibility is poor due to sand, smoke or water vapor in the air, or
when the vehicle in front or oncoming traffic causes water, snow, dirt or
other substances to obscure the view
- When the stereo cameras’ field of view is obstructed (for example by a
canoe on the roof of the vehicle)
S01970
Low objects surrounding the vehicle
cannot be detected.

Pre-Collision Braking System
21
Continued on next pageŸ
- Vehicle conditions (amount of load, number of occupants, etc.)
- Road conditions (grade, slipperiness, shape, bumps, etc.)
- When visibility ahead is poor (rain, snow, fog or smoke, etc.)
- When the detected object is something other than a vehicle, motorcycle,
bicycle or pedestrian
xA domestic animal or other animal (a dog or deer, etc.)
xA guardrail, telephone pole, tree, fence or wall, etc.
- Even if the obstacle is a motorcycle, bicycle or pedestrian, depending on
the brightness of the surroundings as well as the relative movement, and
aspect or angle of the object, there may be cases when the system can-
not detect it.
- When the system determines that operation by the driver (based on
accelerator pedal operation, braking, steering wheel angle, etc.) is
intended as evasive action
- Vehicle maintenance status (brake systems, tire wear, tire pressure,
whether a temporary spare tire is being used, etc.)
- When towing a trailer or another vehicle, etc.
- When the brakes are cold due to outside temperature being low or just
after starting the engine.
- When the brakes are overheated on downhill grades (braking effective-
ness is reduced)
- When driving in rain or after washing the vehicle (the brakes are wet and
braking effectiveness is reduced)
- Recognition conditions of the stereo cameras
In particular, the function may be unable to stop the vehicle or may not
activate in the following cases.
xBad weather (for example heavy rain, a blizzard or thick fog)
xWhen visibility is poor due to sand, smoke or water vapor in the air or
when the vehicle in front or oncoming traffic causes water, snow, dirt,
dust or other substances to obscure the view through the windshield
xWhen driving at night or in a tunnel without the headlights on
xWhen driving at night or in a tunnel when there is a vehicle in front that
does not have its taillights on
xWhen approaching a motorcycle, bicycle or pedestrian at night
xWhen ambient light is poor in the evening or early morning
xWhen a vehicle, motorcycle, bicycle or pedestrian is outside the area
illuminated by the headlights
xWhen affected by strong light from the front (for example, sunlight at
dawn, sunset or headlight beams, etc.)
xWhen there is snow, frost, dirt or dust on the windshield or it is clouded
xWhen fluid has not been fully wiped off the windshield during or after
washer use
xWhen the target cannot be correctly recognized because the stereo
cameras’ view is obstructed by water droplets from rain or the window
washer, or by the wiper blades.

Pre-Collision Braking System
23
xWhen you suddenly change lanes and your vehicle is immediately
behind an obstacle
xWhen there is a vehicle, motorcycle, bicycle or pedestrian in a location
close to your vehicle’s bumper
xWhen the speed difference between your vehicle and an obstacle is 4
MPH (5 km/h) or less (As braking is performed once the obstacle is in
close proximity to your vehicle, depending on the shape and size of the
obstacle, there may be some cases when the obstacle is outside the
range of the cameras’ field of vision.)
xWhen driving on sharp curves, steep uphill grades or steep downhill
grades
xWhen driving on a bumpy or unpaved road
xWhen there are changes in brightness, such as at a tunnel entrance or
exit
xDo not test Pre-Collision Braking System on its own. It may operate
improperly and cause an accident.

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.

Pre-Collision Throttle Management
63
Continued on next pageŸ
xIf your vehicle is trapped on a railroad crossing and you are trying to
escape by driving through the crossing gate, the stereo cameras may rec-
ognize the crossing gate as an obstacle and Pre-Collision Throttle
Management system may activate. In this case, remain calm and either
continue to depress the accelerator pedal or turn off the Pre-Collision
Throttle Management system.
Ÿ Refer to page 67.
xPre-Collision Throttle Management may not activate depending on the fol-
lowing conditions:
- The distance between your vehicle and the obstacle, speed difference,
and lateral displacement (amount of offset)
- Recognition status of the stereo cameras
In particular, the function may not activate in the following cases:
xBad weather (for example heavy rain, a blizzard or thick fog)
xWhen visibility is poor due to sand or smoke in the air
xWhen light is poor in the evening, early morning, or at night
xIn a dark area (indoor parking area, etc.)
xWhen there is an obstacle outside the area illuminated by the head-
lights
xWhen affected by strong light from the front (for example sunlight at
sunrise or sunset headlight beams, etc.)
xWhen there is snow, frost, dirt or dust on the windshield, or it is clouded
xWhen fluid has not been fully wiped off the windshield during or after
use of the window washer
xWhen obstacles cannot be correctly recognized due to water droplets
from rain or the washer, or the wiper blades obstructing the stereo
cameras’ field of view
xWhen the stereo cameras’ field of view is obstructed (for example by a
canoe on the roof of the vehicle)
xWith low obstacles (low wall, crash barrier, low vehicle, etc.)
xWhen the size and height of an obstacle is smaller than the limitations
of the stereo cameras’ recognition capability
xWith small animals or children.
xWith pedestrians who are sitting or lying down
