with a low body height such as
sports cars or a trailer with no
cargo)
–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.
&BSD/RCTA approach indica-
tor light/warning buzzerWhen the BSD/RCTA is active, the BSD/
RCTA approach indicator light will operate
to alert the driver when there are vehicles
in the neighboring lanes. When reversing
the vehicle, the BSD/RCTA approach
indicator light and warning buzzer will
operate to alert the driver that a vehicle is
approaching from the left or right side.
!BSD/RCTA approach indicator lightBSD/RCTA approach indicator lightIt is mounted in each side of the outside
mirrors.
The indicator light will illuminate when a
vehicle approaching from behind is de-
tected.
The indicator light will flash to warn thedriver of dangers under the following
conditions.
.While the indicator light illuminates, if
you operate the turn signal lever toward
the side in which this light turned on.
.When reversing the vehicle while the
system detects a vehicle approaching
from either side.

light dimming function
When the headlights are turned on, the
brightness of the BSD/RCTA approach
indicator light will be reduced.
NOTE.You may have difficulty recognizing
the BSD/RCTA approach indicator light
under the following conditions.
–When affected by direct sunlight
–When affected by the headlight
beams from the vehicles behind
.While the illumination brightness
control dial is in the fully upward
position, even if the headlights are
turned on, the brightness of the BSD/
RCTA approach indicator light will not
be reduced. For details about the
illumination brightness control dial,
refer to“Illumination brightness con-
trol”F3-12.

.The select lever is in the“R”position
.The vehicle speed is between 1 to 9
mph (1.5 to 15 km/h)NOTE.In the following cases, the Reverse
Automatic braking system will not
operate. Promptly contact a SUBARU
dealer to have the system inspected.
–The EyeSight warning indicator
is illuminated
–The Reverse Automatic Braking
fail indicator is illuminated
.When the Reverse Automatic Brak-
ing system OFF indicator is illumi-
nated, the Reverse Automatic braking
system cannot be operated.
.In the following cases, the system
may not be able to properly detect an
obstacle. Promptly contact a SUBARU
dealer to have the system inspected.
–A sticker, paint, or a chemical is
applied to the rear bumper near the
sonar sensor
–The rear bumper is modified
–The rear bumper has been re-
moved and reattached
–The ground clearance is changed
due to the vehicle’s loading condi-
tion or modification
–Ice, snow or mud is adhered tothe rear bumper near the sonar
sensor
–The rear bumper is exposed to
strong impact, or the rear bumper is
deformed
.When the 8-inch audio/navigation
system is performing a software up-
date, the Reverse Automatic Braking
System may not display the following
items on the audio/navigation screen
until the update is complete.
–Display Icon on/off Function
–Distance Indicator Image
–Warning Message
.On a steep hill, the system’s auto-
matic braking ability will be reduced.
.The system is designed to avoid
collisions by automatic hard braking
when the vehicle’s reversing speed is
less than approximately 3 mph (5 km/h).
However, the system does not guaran-
tee that the vehicle will be able to avoid
collisions in any situation.
.If the vehicle is reversed at an
extremely slow speed, the driver’s
operation may be prioritized. In this
case, automatic braking will not oper-
ate.
.The system may not be able to detect
the following objects
–Sharp or thin objects such as
poles, fences and ropes which maynot 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 designed
to detect
–Pedestrians
–Moving objects including moving
vehicles
–Objects which absorb 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
.The system may not be able to
properly detect objects or may cause
a system malfunction when the follow-
ing conditions exist
High frequency sound from other
sources are nearby
–Horn sound from another vehicle
–Engine sound from other vehi-
