About EyeSight

- 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 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 accurate detection is not possible due to reflections in the front
windshield
xUnder the conditions listed below, EyeSight may temporarily stop
operating. 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
xUnder the conditions listed below, it is difficult to recognize vehicles in
front, motorcycles, pedestrians, obstacles on the road, traffic lanes, etc.
Also, the EyeSight system may temporarily stop operating. If the EyeSight
system repeatedly stops operating several times, contact a SUBARU
dealer and have the system inspected.
- When the stereo camera lenses are dirty due to fingerprints, etc.
- When the stereo cameras have become misaligned due to a strong
impact
xWhen there is a malfunction in the EyeSight system, turn off the Pre-Colli-
sion Braking System (
Ÿ refer to page 31) and the Lane Departure Warning
(
Ÿ refer to page 61), 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. If the indicator light is
illuminated, 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 view and could prevent the
EyeSight system from functioning properly.

Pre-Collision Braking System

Continued on next page Ÿ
• When the rear aspect of
the vehicle in front is
low, small or irregular
(the system may recog-
nize another part of the
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
cargo bed
- With vehicles that
have cargo protruding
from their back ends
- With non-standard shaped vehicles (vehicle transporters or vehicles
with a sidecar fitted, etc.)
- When the height of the vehicle is low, etc.
• When there is a wall, etc. in front of a stopped vehicle
• When there is another object near the vehicle
• When a vehicle, etc. has it’s side facing you.
• With vehicles that are backing up or with oncoming vehicles, etc.
• When the size and height of an obstacle is smaller than the limitations
of the stereo cameras’ recognition capability
- With small animals or children, etc.
- With pedestrians who are sitting or lying down
• When the detected object
is a fence or wall, etc.
with a uniform pattern (a
striped pattern or brick
pattern, etc.)
• When there is a wall or
door made of glass or a
mirror in front
• When the vehicle in front
suddenly swerves, accel-
erates, or decelerates.
• When a vehicle, motorcy-
cle, bicycle or pedestrian
suddenly cuts in from the
side or suddenly runs in
front of you.
• When you suddenly change lanes and your vehicle is immediately
behind an obstacle
• When there is a vehicle, motorcycle, bicycle or pedestrian in a location
close to your vehicle’s bumper
• When 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 view.)

Pre-Collision Throttle Management

• When there is a fence or
wall, etc., with a uniform
pattern (striped pattern,
brick, etc.) or with no pat-
tern in front
• When there is a wall or door
made of glass or a mirror in
front
• When an obstacle (another
vehicle, motorcycle, bicy-
cle, pedestrian, animal or
child, etc.) cuts in from the
side or jumps out suddenly
• When starting, if you change lanes and your vehicle is immediately behind
the obstacle
• On sharp curves, steep uphill grades or steep downhill grades
- When the system determines that steering operation by the driver is
intended as evasive action
xFor your safety, do not test Pre-Collision Throttle Management on its own. It
may operate improperly and cause an accident.
