2017 SUBARU FORESTER change time

Foreword
Congratulations on choosing a SUBARU vehicle equipped with EyeSightTM.
EyeSight incorporates the latest driver assistance features available from
SUBARU, including such features as Adaptive Cruise Control, a Lead Vehicle Start
Alert and a Lane Departure and Lane Sway Warning, all of which are designed to
assist the driver in making decisions and increase driver comfort and
convenience. Initially, the operation and u se of the various EyeSight features may
be unfamiliar to you. That is why we urge you to read this manual carefully before
using EyeSight. We also recommend that you first take the time to test EyeSight in
order to experience its features for yourself so that you can become familiar with
their operation.
Please keep in mind that it is the responsibilit y of drivers to operate their vehicles
safely at all times. Drivers should always remain alert and should never become
complacent while operating their vehicles because of the presence of EyeSight.
EyeSight is never a substitute for acti ve driver involvement and it may not operate
optimally under all driving conditions.
This booklet is a supplement to the Owner’s Manual for your SUBARU vehicle and
contains a detailed description of EyeSight. It should be read in conjunction with
your Owner’s Manual so that you will gain a thorough understanding of the proper
operation of your vehicle.
The information, specifications and illustrations found in this booklet are those in
effect at the time of printing. FUJI HEAVY INDUSTRIES LTD. reserves the right to
change specificatio ns and designs at any time without prior notice and without
incurring any obligation to make the same or similar changes on vehicles
previously sold.
Please keep this booklet together with your Owner’s Manual and leave it in the
vehicle at the time of resale. The next owner will need the information it contains.

ŸContinued from previous page
xKeep the windshield (outside and inside) clean at all times. When the wind-
shield has become fogged, or it has a dirt or an oil film on it, the stereo
camera may not detect objects accurately and the EyeSight system may
not operate correctly. Never mount any device to the center air vent, as
any airflow change may impact performance of the EyeSight system.
x Do not place any stickers or accessories on the windshield (outside or
inside). If you have to do so (for example, legally required or electronic toll
tag), avoid the area directly in front of the camera. Doing so may adversely
affect the field of vision of the stereo camera and can cause improper
operation of the system. For details, contact a SUBARU dealer.
x Do not use any glass coating agents or similar substances on the wind-
shield. Doing so may prevent the system from operating correctly.
x Do not install a film on the front windshield. The system may not operate
correctly.
x If there are scratches or cracks on the front windshield, contact a SUBARU
dealer.
x To have the front windshield replaced or repaired, contact a SUBARU
dealer. Do not install a front windshield other than a genuine SUBARU
front windshield. The stereo cameras may not be able to detect objects
accurately and the EyeSight system may not operate properly.

●SI-DRIVE* switch
Selects the tracking characteristics linked with the SI-DRIVE (only when adaptive cruise
control is set).
* SI-DRIVE refers to SUBARU Intelligent Drive.
T S/I switch
xSwitches between I (Intelligent mode) and S (Sports mode) every time it is pressed.
x While S# (Sports Sharp mode) is selected, press the switch to change to S (Sports
mode).

●SI-DRIVE* cooperative control
The characteristics of adaptive cruise control will vary depending on the SI-DRIVE mode
selection.
I (Intelligent mode) selected Performs tracking making gradual speed changes.
S (Sports mode) selected Focusing on tracking the vehicle ahead, this performs
tracking with responsive changes in speed.
S# (Sports Sharp mode)
selected The vehicle in front is tracked in the same way as it is for
S (Sports mode). The S# (Sports Sharp) response is
provided when the driver operates the accelerator pedal.

Adaptive Cruise Control

■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.

x When the system determines that the driver operates the steering wheel to make a lane
change.
x When the driver depresses the accelerator pedal deeply.
x Turning on the hazard warning flasher switch
●Automatic cancellation by the system (An audible beep will sound.)
Under the following conditions, a beep sounds and the Lane Departure Prevention Function
is temporarily canceled.

detect the steering operation, the Lane
Departure Prevention Function is auto-
matically canceled.
