–Vehicles that are not approaching
your vehicle even though they are in
the detection area (either on a
neighboring lane to the rear or be-
side your vehicle when reversing)
(The system determines the pre-
sence of approaching vehicles
based on data detected by the radar
sensors.)
–Vehicles traveling at significantly
different speeds
–Vehicles driving in parallel at al-
most the same speed as your vehi-
cle for a prolonged time
–Oncoming vehicles
–Vehicles in a lane beyond the
neighboring lane
–Vehicles travelling at a signifi-
cantly lower speed that you are
trying to overtake
.On a road with extremely narrow
lanes, the system may detect vehicles
driving in a lane next to the neighboring
lane.
.When the 8-inch audio/navigation
system is performing a software up-
date, the RCTA warning icons may not
be displayed on the audio/navigation
screen until the update is complete.

sensor becomes misaligned, a system
malfunction may occur, including the in-
ability to detect vehicles entering the
detection areas. If any strong shock is
applied to the bumper, be sure to contact
your SUBARU dealer for inspection.
.Do not disassemble the radar sensors.NOTEIf the radar sensors require repair or
replacement, or the bumper area
around the radar sensors requires
repair, paintwork or replacement, con-

tance.
Reverse Automatic Braking
System (if equipped)Reverse Automatic Braking is a system
designed to help avoid collisions or reduce
collision damage when reversing the
vehicle. If a wall or an obstacle is detected
in the reversing direction, the system will
notify the driver with a warning sound and
may activate the vehicle’s brakes auto-
matically.
WARNING
.Reverse Automatic Braking is not
a system intended to replace the
driver’s responsibility to check
surrounding areas for vehicles or
obstacles to avoid a collision.
.The driver is responsible for driv-
ing safely. Always be sure to
check the surroundings visually
when reversing the vehicle.
.Since the system operation has
various limitations, the warning
sound or automatic braking may
be delayed or may not operate at
all even when an obstacle is
present in the reversing direc-
tion.
.The system is not designed todetect people (including chil-
dren), animals or other moving
objects.
.Depending on the vehicle condi-
tion or the surrounding environ-
ment, the sonar sensor’s ability
to detect objects may be compro-
mised.
NOTEThe Reverse Automatic Braking Sys-
tem records and stores the following
data when automatic braking operates.
It does not record conversations, per-
sonal information or other audio data.
.Distance from the object
.Vehicle speed
.Accelerator pedal operation status
.Brake pedal operation status
.Select lever position
.Outside temperature
.The sensitivity setting of the sonar
sensors
SUBARU and third parties contracted
by SUBARU may acquire and use the
recorded data for the purpose of vehi-
cle research and development.
SUBARU and third parties contracted
by SUBARU will not disclose or provide
the acquired data to any other third

ditions.
.The vehicle owner has given his/her
consent.
.The disclosure/provision is based
on a court order or other legally en-
forceable request.
.Data that has been modified so that
the user and vehicle cannot be identi-
fied is provided to a research institution
for statistical processing or similar
purposes.&Reverse Automatic Braking
System overviewThe system detects objects using sonar
sensors installed in the rear bumper.
.If the system determines a possible
collision with an object in the reversing
direction, automatic deceleration will be
activated. Also, beeping sounds will acti-
vate.
.If the vehicle is further reversed, auto-
matic hard braking will be applied and a
continuous beeping sound will activate.!Detecting range
1) Detecting range (width): Approximately 6
in (15 cm) outside of the vehicle width
2) Range that the system cannot detect:
Approximately 20 in (50 cm) behind the
rear of the vehicle
3) Detecting range (length): Approximately
5 ft (1.5 m) from the rear of the vehicle
WARNING
If your vehicle is trapped on a rail-
road crossing and you are trying to
escape by reversing through the
crossing gate, the system may re-
cognize the crossing gate as an
obstacle and the brake may activate.
In this case, remain calm and either
continue to depress the accelerator
pedal or cancel the system. Tocancel the system, refer to“Cancel-
ing the Reverse Automatic Braking
system operation”F7-67.

Temporary spare tire
WARNING
.Never tow a trailer when the
temporary spare tire is used.
The temporary spare tire is not
designed to sustain the towing
load. Use of the temporary spare
tire when towing can result in
failure of the spare tire and/or
less stability of the vehicle and
may lead to an accident.
.When a spare tire is mounted or a
wheel rim is replaced without the
original pressure sensor/trans-
mitter being transferred, the low
tire pressure warning light will
illuminate steadily after blinking
for approximately one minute.
This indicates the tire pressure
monitoring system (TPMS) is un-
able to monitor all four road
wheels. Contact your SUBARU
dealer as soon as possible for
tire and sensor replacement and/
or system resetting.
