Lane Departure Warning
69
CAUTION
In the following situations, the Lane Departure Warning will or may not acti-
vate:x Vehicle speed is approximately 30 MPH (50 km/h) or less.
x When the steering wheel is turned significantly to either side
x When the vehicle is driving around a curve whose radius is 0.18 miles (300
m) or smaller.
x When the brake pedal is depressed or immediately after it is depressed
x When the accelerator pedal is almost fully depressed and the vehicle is
accelerating or immediately after accelerating
x When the following distance behind a vehicle in front is short
x While the turn signal is operating and for approximately 4 seconds after the
turn signal lever has returned to its original position
x For approximately 4 seconds after the hazard lamp has switched off
x When the vehicle has not returned to the inside of the lane after the Lane
Departure Warning has activated
x The lane is narrow.
x When it is difficult for the camera to detect lane markings
- There are no lane markin gs 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
x The 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.
x When the Lane Departure Warning OFF indicator light is illuminated, the
Lane Departure Warning is inactive.
Ÿ Refer to page 70.

Conventional Cruise Control
84
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 88.
x When 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.

Troubleshooting
98
EyeSight does not restart after a temporary stop.
Has the vehicle been parked in a cold or hot place? In either of these cases,
EyeSight may temporarily stop operating until the temperature increases or
decreases to a temperature at which the camera is operable.
Are you driving in the rain with old wipers or is there an oily film on the windshield?
Replace the wipers with new ones, or clean the oily film off the windshield.
Are you driving in poor weather conditions with heavy rain, snow, fog, or dust? In
these cases, EyeSight may temporarily stop operating while visibility is very low.
Is your vehicle subject to sunlight from the front (sunset or sunrise, etc.) or to
bright headlights from oncoming vehicles at nighttime?
In these cases, EyeSight may temporarily stop operating.
The timing of the “brake more” warning is sometimes earlier and sometimes later
than what seems to be normal operation.
The “brake more” warning sounds when the system determines that more braking
is necessary, based on conditions such as the distance from the vehicle in front
and the difference in speed compared to it. As a result, timing may vary depend-
ing on how the brakes are applied in relation to the vehicle in front, and your rela-
tive speed to that vehicle.
When the vehicle in front has turned off the road away or the distance from the
vehicle in front has increased, acceleration is sometimes slower or faster.
Depending on the timing of when the detection of the vehicle in front is lost,
EyeSight’s ability to react may be slower, causing the start of acceleration to feel
delayed and braking time to feel longer than what seems to be normal operation.
