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
x This system does not provide the driver with an automatic driving function
that handles all traffic conditions.
x Do 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.
x Set the set vehicle speed within a range that is appropriate to the road con-
ditions and surrounding environment.
x Before 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”.
x The system may not operate correctly under the conditions listed below.
When these conditions occur, do not use Adaptive Cruise Control.

(2) Setting Adaptive Cruise ControlPress the RES/SET switch to the “SET/-”.
Adaptive Cruise Control is now set, and cruise
control will start.
If no vehicle in front has been detected, the
vehicle drives at the constant set target
speed.
When Adaptive Cruise Control is set, the set
speed and are displayed on the EyeSight
display area.
NOTE
x The target vehicle speed can be set between 25 MPH (40 km/h) and 90
MPH (145 km/h).
x If the vehicle speed is approximately 25 MPH (40 km/h) or less when the
vehicle speed is set, the set vehicle speed is set to 25 MPH (40 km/h).
x When driving on a curve, the vehicle may not accelerate, or may deceler-
ate, even if the set speed is higher than the current vehicle speed.
x If the (Adaptive Cruise Control indicator) does not illuminate, even
when the (CRUISE) switch is pressed, Adaptive Cruise Control will
not operate.
x If the (Adaptive Cruise Control indicator) does not illuminate, even
when the (CRUISE) switch is pressed, there may be a malfunction in
the system. Contact a SUBARU dealer and have the system inspected.

■Increasing the set vehicle target speed
●
Using the RES/SET switch
While driving with Adaptive Cruise Control on, operate the RES/SET switch as follows.
x Push to the “RES/+” side briefly.
Every time the switch is pushed, the set
vehicle target speed will increase to the
next 5 MPH (5 km/h) increment.
x Push to the “RES/+” side continuously.
While the switch is being pushed, the set
vehicle target speed will increase by 1 MPH
(1 km/h).
When operating the switch, the set vehicle
target speed changes on the multi information
display and the multi function display.
●Using the accelerator pedal
Depressing the accelerator pedal will increase vehicle speed. Once the preferred speed has
been attained, push the RES/SET switch to SET/-. When the switch is pressed, the new
vehicle target speed will be set. The new set vehicle speed will be displayed in the EyeSight
display area.
CAUTION
x When Adaptive Cruise Control is operating, the actual vehicle speed is
controlled according to the lead vehicl e. Therefore, if the RES/SET switch
is pressed to the “RES/+” and set to a speed higher than the speed of the
lead vehicle, the vehicle will not accelerate - it will maintain a safe following
distance as the first priority. However, because doing so changed the set
vehicle target speed, when the lead vehicle is no longer detected (for
example, if you change to a freeway lane with no vehicles in front), the
vehicle will accelerate to that new set target speed. Change the set vehicle
target speed while briefly checking the value shown in the set speed dis-
play on the EyeSight display.
x When the accelerator pedal is depressed with Adaptive Cruise Control on,
automatic braking control and warnings by Adaptive Cruise Control will not
occur. However, if there is a high risk of collision with an obstacle in front of
the vehicle at this time, the warning and braking control of the Pre-Collision
Braking System may activate.

■Decreasing the set vehicle target speed
●
Using the RES/SET switch
While driving with Adaptive Cruise Control on, operate the RES/SET switch as follows.
x Push to the “SET/-” side briefly.
Every time the switch is pushed, the set
vehicle target speed will decrease in to the
next 5 MPH (5 km/h) decrement.
x Push to the “SET/-” side continuously.
While the switch is being pushed, the set
vehicle target speed will decrease by 1
MPH (1 km/h).
When operating the switch, the set vehicle
target speed changes on the multi informa-
tion display and the multi function display.
●Using the brake pedal
(1) Depress the brake pedal to decrease the vehicle speed. (Adaptive Cruise Control will be
canceled and will turned off.)
(2) When the desired speed is reached, press the RES/SET switch to the “SET/-”. The speed at the time of pressing the switch will be set as the new vehicle speed, and it
appears in the EyeSight display area.
■Accelerating temporarily
Depress the accelerator pedal to accelerate temporarily.
When the accelerator pedal is released, the vehicle returns to the set vehicle speed.

■Decelerating temporarily
Depress the brake pedal to decelerate tempo-
rarily. When the brake pedal is depressed,
Adaptive Cruise Control will be canceled. The
will be turned off while the set vehicle tar-
get speed remains displayed on the EyeSight
display area.
Release the brake pedal and press
the RES/SET switch to “RES/+” to
reset the set vehicle target speed.
CAUTION
Ordinarily, while Adaptive Cruise Control is functioning, acceleration and
deceleration are performed automatically according to the speed of the lead
vehicle (if one is detected). However, when your vehicle approaches a lead
vehicle, for example if it is necessary to accelerate for a lane change or other
reason, and if the vehicle in front suddenly decelerates, or if another vehicle
cuts into your path, operate the accelerator pedal or brake pedal and
accelerate or decelerate as appropriate for the existing conditions.
