- 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.

Adaptive Cruise Control

Ÿ Continued from previous page
xAdaptive Cruise Control is designed for use on expressways, freeways, toll
roads, interstate highways and similar limited access roads. It is not intended
to be used in city traffic. In the following conditions, do not use Adaptive
Cruise Control. Doing so may result in an accident.
- Ordinary roads (roads other than those mentioned above)
Depending on the driving environment (complexity of roads and other
factors), the system may not be able to perform as the traffic conditions
require, and that may result in an accident.
- Roads with sharp curves or winding roads
- Frozen roads, snow-covered roads or other slippery road surfaces
The tires may spin, causing loss of control of the vehicle.
- Traffic conditions when frequent acceleration and deceleration make it diffi-
cult to maintain the following distance
It may not be possible for the system to perform as the traffic conditions
require.
- Steep downhill grades
The set vehicle speed may be exceeded.
- On a steep continuous downhill grade
The brakes may overheat.
- Roads and overpasses with repeated steep uphill and downhill grades
Detection of the vehicle in front may be lost, or the road surface may be
detected instead of the vehicle in front, making correct control impossible.
- When entering a sharp curve into an interchange or junction, or a service
area, parking area, toll booth or other facilities
Detection of the vehicle in front may not be possible.
- When there are changes in brightness, such as at a tunnel entrance or exit
- When visibility is poor due to sand, smoke or water vapor blowing in the
wind, or when the vehicle in front or oncoming traffic causes water, snow,
dirt or dust to obscure the view
Detection of the vehicle in front may be lost, or water or other substances
may be incorrectly detected instead, making correct control impossible.
- When there is snow, frost, dirt or dust on the windshield or it is clouded
