■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.

■ Changing the following distance from the vehicle in front
The following distance from the vehicle in front setting can be changed in 3 stages.
NOTE
xThe following distance changes according to the vehicle speed and
increases the faster the vehicle travels.

x If you turn the (CRUISE) switch off, and then turn it on again, the fol-
lowing distance that was set before you turned the switch off will be main-
tained.

■Canceling Adaptive Cruise Control
●
Canceling by driver operation
Either of the following operations will cancel Adaptive Cruise Control.
x Depress the brake pedal.
will be turned off while the set vehicle
target speed remains displayed on the
EyeSight display area.
x Press the (CRUISE) switch.
will be turned off while the set vehicle
target speed remains displayed on the
EyeSight display area.
When the (CRUISE) switch is
pressed again, will be turned off and
Adaptive Cruise Control will be turned off.

●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.
Ÿ Refer to page 89.
- EyeSight is malfunctioning.
Ÿ Refer to page 88.
- The Pre-Collision secondary braking has activated.
- Parking brake is applied.

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.

■Returning to a vehicle speed that was previously set
The vehicle speed which was previously set is stored in memory.* To return to set that vehi-
cle speed, press the RES/SET switch to the RES/+. ( on the EyeSight display area illu-
minates again to indicate that the system has returned to the set status again.)
NOTE
*The vehicle speed stored in memory is erased in the following
circumstances:
x The cruise control is turned off by pressing the (CRUISE) switch.
x Vehicle Dynamics Control or Traction Control Function are activated.
x The cruise control mode was switched from Adaptive Cruise Control to
Conventional Cruise Control.

■“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.
