Starting and operating/Parking your vehicle
sealant, the tire pressure warning
valve and transmitter may not
operate properly. If a liquid sea-
lant is used, contact your nearest
SUBARU dealer or other qualified
service shop as soon as possi-
ble. Make sure to replace the tire
pressure warning valve and
transmitter when replacing the
tire. You may reuse the wheel if
there is no damage to it and if the
sealant residue is properly
cleaned off. Do not inject any tire
liquid or aerosol tire sealant into
the tires, as this may cause a
malfunction of the tire pressure
sensors. If the light illuminates
steadily after blinking for ap-
proximately one minute,
promptly contact a SUBARU
dealer to have the system in-
spected.CAUTION
Do not place metal film or any metal
parts under the driver’s seat. This
may cause poor reception of the
signals from the tire pressure sen-
sors, and the tire pressure monitor-
ing system will not function prop-
erly.
FCC ID: CWTWD1U848
NOTE
This device complies with Part 15 of
the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to
the following two conditions: (1) This
device may not cause harmful inter-
ference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference received, in-
cluding interference that may cause
undesired operation.
FCC CAUTION
Changes or modifications not ex-
pressly approved by the party respon-
sible for compliance could void the
user ’s authority to operate the equip-
ment.
Parking your vehicle
WARNING
. Never leave unattended children
or pets in the vehicle. They could
accidentally injure themselves or
others through inadvertent op-
eration of the vehicle. Also, on
hot or sunny days, the tempera-
ture in a closed vehicle could
quickly become high enough to
cause severe or possibly fatal
injuries to them.
. Do not park the vehicle over
flammable materials such as dry
grass, waste paper or rags, as
they may burn easily if they come
near hot engine or exhaust sys-
tem parts.
. Be sure to stop the engine if you
take a nap in the vehicle. If
engine exhaust gas enters the
passenger compartment, occu-
pants in the vehicle could die
from carbon monoxide (CO) con-
tained in the exhaust gas.

!Lane Change Assist (LCA)
1) Operating range
The system notifies the driver of vehicles
approaching at a high speed in the
neighboring lanes.
.If the system detects a vehicle ap-
proaching at a high speed in the neighbor-
ing lanes, it warns the driver of dangers by
illuminating the BSD/RCTA approach in-
dicator light(s) on the outside mirror(s).
. If the driver operates the turn signal
lever in the direction where the BSD/
RCTA approach indicator light is illuminat-
ing, the system warns the driver of
dangers by flashing the BSD/RCTA ap-
proach indicator light. !
Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
1) Operating range
The system notifies the driver of another
vehicle approaching from either side when
driving in reverse. This feature helps the
driver check the rear and side areas of the
vehicle when moving backward.
If the system detects a vehicle approach-
ing from either side while moving back-
ward, it warns the driver of dangers in the
following way.
.The BSD/RCTA approach indicator
light(s) on the outside mirror(s) flashes.
. A warning buzzer sounds.
. An icon appears on the rear view
camera screen (if equipped) !
Limitations of the detectability of
RCTA
Since the detectability of RCTA is limited,
the RCTA may not operate properly in
parking areas in which the parking spaces
are drawn diagonally to the driving lanes.
Example 1
1) The detection range of the radar sensors
2) Area out of detection range of the radar sensors
A) Vehicle that may not be detected
B) Parked vehicle
WARNING
An approaching vehicle (A) may not
be detected because the detection
range is limited by the parked
vehicle (B). Always be sure to check

ing condition or modification
– Ice, snow or mud is adhered
to the rear bumper near the
sonar sensor
– The rear bumper is exposed to
strong impact, or the rear
bumper is deformed
. On a steep hill, the system ’s
automatic braking ability will be
reduced.
. The system is designed to avoid
collisions by automatic hard
braking when the vehicle ’s rever-
sing speed is less than approxi-
mately 3 mph (5 km/h). However,
the system does not guarantee
that the vehicle will be able to
avoid collisions in any situation.
. If the vehicle is reversed at an
extremely slow speed, the dri-
ver ’s operation may be priori-
tized. In this case, automatic
braking will not operate.
. The system may not be able to
detect the following objects
– Sharp or thin objects such as
poles, fences and ropes which
may not reflect the sound
wave emitted from the sonar
sensor –
Objects that are too close to
the rear bumper when the
select lever is set to the “R ”
position
– Objects with a surface which
may not reflect the sound
wave emitted from the sonar
sensor such as a chain link
fence
. Objects the system is not de-
signed to detect
– Pedestrians
– Moving objects including
moving vehicles
– Objects which absorbs sound
waves such as cloth or snow
– Objects whose surface has a
diagonal angle
– Objects that are low to the
ground such as parking
blocks
– Objects that are high above
the ground such as objects
hanging from above
. When reversing the vehicle, the
system may not be able to prop-
erly detect objects or may cause
a system malfunction if the fol-
lowing conditions exist
High frequency sound from other sources are nearby
–
Horn sound from another ve-
hicle
– Engine sound from other ve-
hicles
– Sound of an air brake
– Vehicle detection equipment
or a sonar from another vehi-
cle
– A sound wave with a fre-
quency similar to the vehicle ’s
system is transmitted near by
– A vehicle equipped with the
same system is reversing to-
ward your reversing direction
Weather conditions – Extremely high or extremely
low temperatures in which the
area near the sonar sensor
becomes too hot or too cold
to operate
– The rear bumper near the
sonar sensors are exposed
to heavy rain or a significant
amount of water
– Fog, snow or sandstorm, etc.
– Air

is moving rapidly such as
when a strong wind is blowing
