tem is set to on
.The select lever is in the“R”position
.The vehicle speed is between 1 to 9
mph (1.5 to 15 km/h)NOTE.When the Reverse Automatic Brak-
ing fail indicator is illuminated, the
Reverse Automatic Braking system
cannot be operated. Promptly contact
a SUBARU dealer to have the system
inspected.
.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 sonar sensors or 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 to
the sonar sensors or the rear bum-
per 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 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 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 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-
cles
–Sound of an air brake
–Vehicle detection equipment or a
sonar from another vehicle
–A sound wave with a frequency
similar to the vehicle’s system is
transmitted nearby
–
A vehicle equipped with the same
system is reversing toward 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 sonar sensors or the rear
bumper near the sonar sensors is
exposed to heavy rain or a signifi-
cant amount of water
–Fog, snow or sandstorm, etc.
–Air is moving rapidly such as
when a strong wind is blowing
Parts attached to the rear bumper
near the sonar sensor
–Commercial electronic parts (fog
light, fender pole, radio antenna) or
commercial attachment parts (trai-
ler hitch, bicycle carrier, bumper
guard) are attached
–Parts that emit high frequency
sound, such as a horn or speaker,
are attached
Vehicle conditions
–The vehicle is significantly in-
clined
–The ground clearance is signifi-
cantly reduced due to the vehicle’s
loading condition, etc.
–When the sonar sensor is mis-
aligned due to a collision or anaccident
Surrounding environment
–A cloth banner, flag, hanging
branch or railroad crossing bars
are present in the reversing direc-
tion
–When reversing on a gravel or
grassy area
–When reversing in an area where
objects or walls are adjacent to the
vehicle such as narrow tunnels,
narrow bridges, narrow roads or
narrow garages
–Wheel tracks or a hole is present
in the ground of the reversing
direction
–When reversing over a drainage
cover (grate cover)
–The path of the reversing direc-
tion is inclined such as on a steep
uphill
–A curb is present in the reversing
direction
–When reversing downhill

&Tire rotationVehicles equipped with 4 non-unidirec-
tional tires
1) Front
Vehicles equipped with unidirectional
tires
1) FrontTire wear varies from wheel to wheel.
Move the tires to the positions shown in the
illustration each time they are rotated. For
the tire rotation schedule, refer to the
“Warranty and Maintenance Booklet”.
Replace any damaged or unevenly worn
tires at the time of rotation. After tire
rotation, adjust the tires pressures and
make sure the wheel nuts are correctly
tightened.
After driving approximately 600 miles
(1,000 km), check the wheel nuts again
and retighten any nut that has become
loose.
&Tire replacementThe wheels and tires are important and
integral parts of your vehicle’s design; they
cannot be changed arbitrarily. The tires
fitted as standard equipment are optimally
matched to the characteristics of the
vehicle and were selected to give the best
possible combination of running perfor-
mance, ride comfort, and service life. It is
essential for every tire to have a size and
construction matching those shown on the
tire placard and to have a speed symbol
and load index matching those shown on
the tire placard.
Using tires of a non-specified size detracts
from controllability, ride comfort, braking
performance, speedometer accuracy and
odometer accuracy. It also creates incor-
rect body-to-tire clearances and inappro-
priately changes the vehicle’s ground
clearance.
All four tires must be the same in terms of
manufacturer, brand (tread pattern), con-
struction, and size. You are advised to
replace the tires with new ones that are
identical to those fitted as standard equip-
ment.
For safe vehicle operation, SUBARU
recommends replacing all four tires at the
same time.
