■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.

●Automatic cancellation by the system
In the following cases, a buzzer will sound a
single long beep and Adaptive Cruise Con-
trol is automatically canceled. ( is dis-
played on the EyeSight display area.)
x Conditions for automatic cancellation
- The grade of the road is very steep.
- ABS, Vehicle Dynamics Control or Trac- tion Control Function is activated.
- The vehicle speed has exceeded approximately 100 MPH (160 km/h) while cruise con- trol is set.
- The steering wheel was turned significantly in either direction.
- The transmission select lever is moved to a position other than . xCruise control can be resumed after the transmission select lever is returned to the
position.
- A paddle shift switch is operated while driving when the transmission select lever is in the position.x Cruise control can be resumed again after the shift indicator returns to .
- Any door (except the rear gate/trunk) is opened.
- The driver’s seatbelt is unfastened.
- EyeSight operation has temporarily stopped.

WARNING
Do not use Adaptive Cruise Control on slippery roads. Doing so may result in
an accident.
CAUTION
When shifting the select lever to the position, Adaptive 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 operation has temporarily stopped, the Pre-Collision Braking
System OFF indicator light and Lane Departure Warning OFF indicator
light illuminate, and the EyeSight temporary stop indicator is displayed on
the multi information display.
Ÿ Refer to page 89.
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 will also
illuminate. If this occurs, stop the vehicle in a safe location and then turn off
the engine and restart it. If the indicators remain illuminated after restarting
the engine, Adaptive 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 the operation of Adaptive Cruise Control has been automatically
canceled, perform the set cruise control operation again after the condition
that caused the cancellation has been corrected. If the cruise control func-
tion cannot be set even after the condition has been corrected, EyeSight
may be malfunctioning. This will not interfere with ordinary driving; how-
ever contact a SUBARU dealer and have the system inspected.

■“Brake more” warning
The “brake more” warning is activated while Adaptive Cruise Control is tracking a lead
vehicle. This function warns the driver when it determines that the current level of
deceleration by automatic braking control is insufficient.
x When the ‘brake more’ function operates,
“Obstacle Detected” will be shown in the
warning screen area of the multi information
display, a lead vehicle indicator will flash,
and a buzzer will sound several short
beeps.
x When this function activates, depress the
brake pedal to decelerate and maintain a
correct following distance.
Other functions
WARNING
xIf the buzzer sounds frequently, do not use Adaptive Cruise Control.
x The “brake more” warning will not activate in the following situations.
- The accelerator pedal is depressed.
- The brake pedal is depressed.
x Even when the following distance is short, the “brake more” warning may
not activate in the following situations.
- The difference in speed with the vehicle in front is small. (The two vehi- cles are traveling at almost the same speed.)
- The vehicle in front is traveling faster than your vehicle. (The following
distance is gradually increasing.)
- Another vehicle cuts into your lane very close to your vehicle.
- The vehicle in front decelerates suddenly.
- When there are repeated uphill and downhill grades
x The “brake more” warning may not activate in time in the case of a vehicle that
is stopped at the end of a line at a toll gate, at a stop light or intersection or in
traffic congestion, or a vehicle that is moving much slower than your vehicle.
EyeSight requires a speed differential in order to recognize a potential obsta-
cle and react to it.

CAUTION
The automatic braking function is released gradually approximately 2
seconds after stopping and the vehicle starts creeping forward. Be sure to
depress the brake pedal and stop the vehicle completely.
NOTE
Vehicles in front in the same traffic lane are detected by the stereo cameras
within a distance of approximately 360 ft (110 m) in the forward direction.
However the detection distance may be reduced depending on the traffic
environment, driving conditions, and conditions of the vehicle in front.

Lane Keep Assist
The stereo cameras detect lane markings
(including Botts’ dots) of the lane and the
system assists the steering operation by
working with the electric power steering to
help keep your vehicle in its lane when driving
on expressways, freeways and interstate
highways.
WARNING
Lane Keep Assist is not an automatic driving system.
Do not overestimate the capabilities of Lane Keep Assist. It is not a sys-
tem to assist inattentive driving or meant to permit driving without hold-
ing the steering wheel. Make sure to grip the steering wheel while
driving. To drive safely, check the distance from the vehicle in front or
from a vehicle driving in parallel with your vehicle, the surrounding con-
ditions and the surrounding environment while driving.
If you feel that the level of control and timing by the system are different from
your own driving style, the system may not support safe driving. Do not use
Lane Keep Assist.
Lane Keep Assist does not always operate under all situations. If you rely only
on the Lane Keep Assist to stay in a lane, it may cause an accident such as a
collision with an obstacle beside your lane or with a vehicle driving in an
adjacent lane.x Check that there are problems with the tires and brakes during a daily
inspection before using the system.
* Refer to “Warranty and Maintenance Booklet”.
x The system may not operate properly under the following conditions. Do
not use Lane Keep Assist.
- The air pressure of tires is not to specification.
*1
- Tires that are worn or have large variations in wear conditions are installed.*1
- Tires other than those of the designated size are installed.*1
- The wheel balance is abnormal (e.g., the balance weight is removed ormisaligned.)*1
- The wheel alignment is not adjusted within the specified value.*1
- Flat tires have been fixed temporarily with a tire repair kit.
- The suspension has been modified (including genuine SUBARU parts).
- Any object that disturbs the stereo cameras’ view is installed on the vehi-cle.
