Adaptive 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. 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 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.
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.

Continued on next page Ÿ - When water droplets from rain or the window washer, or dirt has not
been fully wiped off the windshield
It may not be possible to detect the vehicle in front, making correct
control impossible.
- When the stereo cameras’ field of view is obstructed (for example by a
canoe on the roof of the vehicle)
xThe stereo cameras may have difficulty detecting the following objects or
conditions. Operate the brake pedal and take other actions as necessary.
- Vehicles at significantly different speeds (vehicles driving slowly,
stopped or oncoming vehicles, etc.)
- Vehicles cutting into your lane
- Motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrians and animals, etc.
- When light is poor in the evening or early morning
- When driving at night or in a tunnel without the headlights on
- When driving at night or in a tunnel when there is a vehicle in front that
does not have its taillights on
- When affected by strong light from the front (sunlight or headlight high
beams, etc.)
- Vehicles in front that have
a rear aspect that is low,
small or irregular (the sys-
tem may recognize
another part of the vehicle
and will determine opera-
tion from that)
• An empty truck or trailer
that has no cargo in the
cargo bed being affected
by wind
• Vehicles that have cargo
protruding from their
back ends
• Non-standard shaped ve-
hicles (vehicle transport-
ers or vehicles with a sidecar fitted, etc.)
• Vehicles that are low
- Objects that are located close to the bumper of your vehicle
xWhen you do not want to use Adaptive Cruise Control, be sure to turn the
(CRUISE) switch off. If the switch is left on, cruise control may be
accidentally engaged, possibly resulting in an accident.
xBefore using Adaptive Cruise Control, be sure to fully verify the safety of
the vehicle occupants and the area around the vehicle. Never operate the
cruise control from outside the vehicle.

xIf your vehicle no longer detects the vehicle
in front
The vehicle gradually accelerates back to
the set target vehicle speed and will drive at
that constant speed.
If a vehicle in front is detected while
accelerating to the set target vehicle speed,
vehicle tracking will be started again.
CAUTION
If the driver operates the brake pedal during automatic braking, the pedal
may feel stiff; however, this is not a malfunction. By depressing the brake
pedal further you can apply more braking force. When the brake pedal is
released it will return to its original condition.
NOTE
xWhen the brakes are applied by Adaptive Cruise Control, the vehicle’s
brake lights will illuminate.
xEven if there is no lead vehicle present, on a downhill grade, the Adaptive
Cruise Control’s automatic brake may operate in order to maintain the set
target vehicle speed.
xSome noises may be audible during automatic braking. This is caused by
the braking control and does not indicate a malfunction.
xTo temporarily accelerate quickly, use the accelerator pedal. After acceler-
ating, the vehicle will gradually return to the set target vehicle speed shown
in the gauge cluster.
xThere are cases where the vehicle in front has turned off the road while
your vehicle is still controlled by the automatic braking operation that has
activated due to the deceleration of the vehicle in front of yours. In those
cases, the brake will be automatically released gradually. Depress the
accelerator pedal if necessary.
xThe lead-vehicle tracking function has the following characteristics:
- If the lead vehicle’s brake lamp is detected, deceleration is started more
quickly than without detection.
- If the vehicle moves to the fast lane while traveling more than 37 MPH
(60 km/h), the system starts acceleration to the set vehicle speed more
quickly because it is linked with the turn signal.

WARNING
Do not use Adaptive Cruise Control on slippery roads. Doing so may result in
an accident.
CAUTION
When shifting the select 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 80.
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 79.
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.

■“Brake more” warning
The “brake more” warning is activated while Adaptive Cruise Control is tracking a lead
vehicle. 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
warning 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 traveling 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 intersection 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 obsta-
cle and react to it.

Lane Departure Warning
60
CAUTION
In the following situations, the Lane Departure Warning will or may not acti-
vate:
xVehicle speed is approximately 30 MPH (50 km/h) or less.
xWhen the steering wheel is turned significantly to either side
xWhen the vehicle is driving around a curve whose radius is 0.18 miles (300
m) or smaller.
xWhen the brake pedal is depressed or immediately after it is depressed
xWhen the accelerator pedal is almost fully depressed and the vehicle is
accelerating or immediately after accelerating
xWhen the following distance behind a vehicle in front is short
xWhile the turn signal is operating and for approximately 4 seconds after the
turn signal lever has returned to its original position
xFor approximately 4 seconds after the hazard lamp has switched off
xWhen the vehicle has not returned to the inside of the lane after the Lane
Departure Warning has activated
xThe lane is narrow.
xWhen it is difficult for the camera to detect lane markings
- There are no lane markings or they are very worn.
- The lane markings are yellow.
- It is difficult to detect lane markings as they are similar in color to the
road surface.
- The lane markings are narrow.
NOTE
xThe following situations may cause incorrect lane detection and a faulty
Lane Departure Warning to occur.
- Tire tracks on a wet road or snow-covered road
- Boundaries between snow and asphalt, marks from road repair, etc.
- Shadows of guardrails
- Lane markings are drawn in double
- There are some lane markings left from roadwork or markings from the
previous road.
xWhen the Lane Departure Warning OFF indicator light is illuminated, the
Lane Departure Warning is inactive.
Ÿ Refer to page 61.

Conventional Cruise Control
75
CAUTION
When shifting the select lever to the position, Conventional 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 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 illuminate. If
this occurs, stop the vehicle in a safe location and then stop the engine
and restart it. If the indicators remain illuminated after restarting the
engine, Conventional 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 79.
xWhen operation of Conventional Cruise Control has been automatically
canceled, perform the set operation again after the condition that caused
the cancellation has been eliminated. If cruise control cannot be set even
after the condition has been corrected, EyeSight may be malfunctioning.
This will not interfere with ordinary driving; however the system should be
inspected by a SUBARU dealer as soon as possible.
