Lane Sway Warning
71
Lane Sway Warning
This function detects wandering or drifting within a lane, and warns the driver. When the
Lane Sway Warning activates, a buzzer sounds 6 short beeps, the steering wheel indicator
light blinks and the lane indicator lights on the multi information display blink alternately left
and right.
This function activates only when the vehicle speed is approximately 38 MPH (60 km/h) or
more.
WARNING
Lane Sway Warning will not operate in all conditions. It also will not automati-
cally correct wandering. If the driver relies only on the Lane Sway Warning to
prevent the vehicle from wandering, an accident may occur.
CAUTION
Under the following conditions, the Lane Sway Warning may not operate.x When driving on a winding road
x When vehicle speed changes greatly
x Immediately after a lane change
x When it is difficult for the EyeSight stereo cameras to detect lane markings
- There are no lane markings or they are the very worn.
- It is difficult to detect lane markings as they are similar in color to the road surface.
- The lane markings are narrow.

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.
