Pre-Collision Braking System
When there is the risk of a rear-end collision with an obstacle in front, the EyeSight system
helps to minimize or prevent a collision by warning the driver. If the driver still does not take
evasive action to avoid a collision, the brakes can be automatically applied just before the
collision in order to reduce impact damage, or if possible, prevent the collision. If the driver
takes evasive action to avoid a collision, Pre-Collision Brake Assist will operate in order to
help the driver to prevent the collision.
This system can be effective not only with direct rear-end collisions, but also with offset
rear-end collisions. This function can be activated when the select lever is in the , or positions.
WARNING
xNever use the Pre-Collision Braking System and Pre-Collision Brake Assist to
stop your car or avoid a collision under ordinary conditions. These functions
cannot prevent collisions under all conditions. If the driver relies only on the
Pre-Collision Braking System for Brake operation, collisions may occur.
x When a warning is activated, pay attention to the front of the vehicle and its
surroundings, and operate the brake pedal and/or take other actions if nec-
essary.
x The EyeSight Pre-Collision Braking System is primarily designed to pre-
vent rear-end collisions with other vehicles when possible and to minimize
damage and injuries in the event of a collision. In addition to other vehi-
cles, things such as motorbikes, bicycles and pedestrians can also be
treated as obstacles. However, there may be cases when detection is not
possible depending on a variety of conditions
*2. For example, when a vehi-
cle is viewed from the side, oncoming vehicle, vehicles approaching in
reverse, small animals or children, or walls or doors are not likely to be
detected.
x The Pre-Collision Braking System will operate at the point when it deter-
mines that a collision cannot be avoided and is designed to apply strong
braking force just before a collision. The result of this varies depending on
a variety of conditions
*2. Because of this, performance of this function will
not always be the same.
x When the Pre-Collision Braking System is activated, it will continue to
operate even if the accelerator pedal is partially depressed. However, it will
be canceled if the accelerator pedal is deeply depressed.
x If the driver depresses the brake pedal or turns the steering wheel, the system
may determine that this constitutes evasive action by the driver, and the auto-
matic braking control may not activate in order to allow the driver full control.
x When the difference in speed with the obstacle in front is the following fig-
ure
*1 or more, it may not be possible to avoid a collision. Even if the speed
difference is the following figure*1 or less, in cases such as when another
vehicle cuts in front of you, or in other cases depending on visibility, the
condition of road surface and other factors
*2, the function may be unable to
stop the vehicle or may not activate. Pre-Collision Brake Assist also may
not activate depending on the conditions
*2 listed below.
*1:For vehicles: approximately 30 MPH (50 km/h),
For pedestrians: approximately 21 MPH (35 km/h)
*2:Conditions
- Distance to obstacle in front of you, speed difference, proximity condi-
tions, lateral displacement (the amount of offset)

xWhen you suddenly change lanes and your vehicle is immediately
behind an obstacle
x When there is a vehicle, motorcycle, bicycle or pedestrian in a location
close to your vehicle’s bumper
x When the speed difference between your vehicle and an obstacle is 4
MPH (5 km/h) or less (As braking is performed once the obstacle is in
close proximity to your vehicle, depending on the shape and size of the
obstacle, there may be some cases when the obstacle is outside the
range of the cameras’ field of view.)
x When driving on sharp curves, steep uphill grades or steep downhill
grades
x When driving on a bumpy or unpaved road
x When there are changes in brightness, such as at a tunnel entrance or
exit
x Do not test Pre-Collision Braking System on its own. It may operate
improperly and cause an accident.
x The system may not operate correctly under the conditions listed below.
When these conditions occur, turn off the Pre-Collision Braking System.
- The tire pressure is not correct.

- The temporary spare tire is installed.*1
- Tires that are unevenly worn or tires with uneven wear patterns are installed.*1
- Tires that are the wrong size are installed.*1
- Flat tires have been fixed temporarily with a tire repair kit.
- The suspension has been modified (including a genuine SUBARU sus-pension that has been modified).
- Any object that disturbs the stereo cameras’ view is installed on the vehi- cle.
- The headlights are dirty or they have snow and ice or dirt on them. (Objects are not correctly illuminated and are difficult to detect.)
- The optical axes are not aligned correctly. (Objects are not correctly illu- minated and are difficult to detect.)
- The lights including headlights and fog lamps have been modified.
- Vehicle operation has become compromised due to an accident or mal- function.
- The brake system warning light is illuminated in red.
- A heavy cargo is loaded onto or inside the vehicle.
- The maximum number of occupants is exceeded.
- There is something wrong with the combination meter; such as when the lights do not illuminate, the beeps do not sound, the display is different
from when it is normal, etc.

*1: The wheels and tires have functions that are critically important. Be
sure to use the correct ones. For details, refer to the Owner’s Manual
for your vehicle.
*2: For details about the combination meter, refer to the Owner’s Manual for your vehicle.

■Detection of pedestrians
The EyeSight system can also detect
pedestrians. The EyeSight system detects
pedestrians from their size, shape and
movement. The system detects a pedestrian
when the contour of the head and shoulders
are clear.
WARNING
The EyeSight system’s Pre-Collision Braking function also treats pedestrians
as obstacles. However, depending on the conditions, there may be cases
when the system cannot detect a pedestrian. In the following conditions, the
possibility that the system may not be able to detect a pedestrian as an object
is particularly high.
x When pedestrians are walking in a group
x When a pedestrian is next to a wall or other obstacle
x When a pedestrian is using an umbrella
x When a pedestrian is wearing clothes that are a similar color to the sur-
rounding environment
x When a pedestrian is carrying bulky luggage
x When a pedestrian is bent over, crouching down or lying down
x When a pedestrian is in a dark location
x When a pedestrian suddenly crosses in front of you from the side or sud-
denly runs in front of you

Pre-Collision Braking System
27
When there is an obstacle in the forward direction during driving, the system activates in the
following sequence in order to warn the driver, activate braking control, and active the brake
lights.
Following Distance Warning:
When the system determines that there is a risk of collision, a buzzer sounds repeated short
beeps and the indicators on the multi information display illuminate to warn the driver.
The Following Distance Warning operates when Adaptive Cruise Control is not set.
When the driver depresses the brake pedal to decelerate and achieves a suitable following
distance, the warning is canceled.
First Braking and Warning:
When the system determines that there is a high risk of collision with an obstacle in front, a
buzzer sounds repeated short beeps and the indicators on the multi information display illu-
minate to warn the driver, and braking control is activated and the engine output, in some
situations, is also controlled. If the system determines that the amount of evasive action
(braking, steering, etc.) taken by the driver has reduced the risk of collision, braking activa-
tion is canceled.
Secondary Braking and Warning:
If the system then determines that the risk of collision is extremely high, the buzzer changes
to a continuous beeping sound and stronger braking control is activated. If, despite any eva-
sive action taken by the driver, the system subsequently determines that a collision is
unavoidable, braking control and the engine output control are continued.
Even after the vehicle has stopped, depress the brake pedal.

Until the brake pedal is depressed, a mes-
sage appears and stays in the warning screen
area of the multi information display for
approximately 2 minutes. A single continuous
beep sounds while the message is displayed.
