EYESIGHT®OVERVIEW
Your Subaru features a variety of safety
systems that are the culmination of everything
Subaru Engineers know about safety. These
systems are referred to as “Driver Assist
Technologies” and add confidence to every
trip you and your passengers take. Working
together, these systems provide enhanced
awareness, safety, and convenience in front,
to the sides, and behind your Subaru. Subaru
Driver Assist Technologies include:
• EyeSight
®Driver Assist Technology
• Rear-Vision Camera
• Pre-Collision Braking
• Front View Monitor
• Blind-Spot Detection (BSD)
• Rear Cross-Traffic Alert (RCTA)
• Reverse Automatic Braking (RAB)
• High Beam Assist (HBA)
• Lane Departure Prevention
• Steering Responsive Headlights (SRH)

OPERATION
EyeSight®is a driver assist technology that
uses dual color cameras to serve as an extra
pair of eyes on the road ahead to identify
vehicles in front, pedestrians, traffic lanes, or
other objects. If need be, the EyeSight
®
system can apply the brakes and/or reduce
engine power to help avoid or reduce the
severity of a collision. During these events, the
system will provide audible and visual alerts to
assist you in making decisions.
Since the characteristics and limitations of the
EyeSight
®color cameras are similar to human
eyes, it is important that the cameras,
windshield, and area in front of the cameras
are treated with special care. Please refer to
“Care and Limitations” on page 100 for more
details.
FUNCTIONS
The EyeSight®system features several distinct functions designed to provide extra
awareness, improve safety, reduce fatigue, and add peace of mind every time you drive
your Subaru. EyeSight
®functions include:
• Pre-Collision Braking (PCB)
• Pre-Collision Brake Assist
• Pre-Collision Throttle Management
• Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
• Lane Sway Warning
• Lane Departure Prevention
• Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control
• Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control (AACC)
• Lane Centering
• Conventional Cruise Control
• Lead Vehicle Start Alert

Lane Departure Prevention
This function provides steering assistance to
keep you in the lane of travel when driving on
expressways, freeways, and interstate
highways at approximately 37 mph or greater.
Lane Departure Prevention uses the EyeSight
®
camera to identify lane markings and assists
steering operation to help prevent lane
departure.
This function is turned on or off using the Lane
Keep Assist button on the right side of the
steering wheel. Once the system is turned on,
a white Lane Keep Assist icon will be
displayed on the Combination Meter Display
(CMD). Lane marking graphics on the CMD
change to white to indicate that the right and/or left lane markings have been successfully
identified by the EyeSight
®camera. If the vehicle is about to depart the driving lane, the
system assists steering by gently guiding the vehicle back into your lane. When the system
is actively providing assistance, the Lane Keep Assist icon in the CMD will change from
white to green.
Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering
Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control is a driving support system intended to reduce the
burden on you when driving on an expressway (including during congestion and when
driving at high speed). Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Centering work
together to assist you by automatically controlling the accelerator, brake, and steering.
Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control
This system provides cruise control with the
ability to keep a safe distance from the car in
front of you. Using the EyeSight
®camera, the
Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control function
identifies vehicles in front of you in the same
lane, and your vehicle follows the vehicle in
front (up to the maximum of your set speed).
While following, your vehicle will automatically
maintain a following distance that
corresponds to the speed of the vehicle in
front. The vehicle is capable of being
controlled at a speed between 0 mph and
approximately 90 mph.

You can turn the Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control on or off using the Adaptive Cruise
Control On/Off button on the right side of the steering wheel (see page 93). Once the
system is turned on, a white Adaptive Cruise Control icon will be displayed on the
Combination Meter Display (CMD). When all the operational conditions are met, “READY”
appears underneath the Adaptive Cruise Control icon.
To set Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control, push down the “SET/–” switch on the right side
of the steering wheel. The CMD will indicate a target speed and the icon will turn green.
This speed can be adjusted up or down using the “RES/SET” switch (see page 93).
When a vehicle in front of you is identified, a Lead Vehicle icon will be displayed on the
Combination Meter Display (CMD) and/or Multi-Function Display (MFD). You can change
the desired following distance from the lead vehicle by pressing the “Increase Distance” or
“Decrease Distance” buttons (see page 93).
Lane Centering
The stereo camera detects lane markings
(including Botts’ dots) of the lane and the lead
vehicle, and the system assists the steering
operation by working with the electric power
steering to help keep your vehicle in its lane
when driving on expressways, freeways and
interstate highways.
This function can be used by pressing the
Lane Keep Assist switch when the Advanced
Adaptive Cruise Control is activated. When
driving at speeds of 0 mph to approximately
90 mph, the system detects the lane markings
and/or the lead vehicle and assists you with
steering in order to keep the vehicle close to
the center of the lane.
