REAR-VISION CAMERA
This function provides a clear view of the area
behind the vehicle to help avoid obstacles.
Using a wide-angle camera mounted on the
rear of the vehicle, an image is automatically
displayed on the multimedia screen when you
place the select lever in the “R” position. The
displayed image features a centerline
indicator, colored distance markers, and
dynamic guidelines that move as the steering wheel is turned.
Rear-vision Camera Washer
To help keep your vision clear, your Subaru
comes equipped with a Rear-vision Camera
Washer. The Rear-vision Camera Washer is
activated whenever the washer for the rear
window is used. Rotate the end of the window
wiper lever down from the “OFF” position, or
up from the continuous operation position, to
clean both the rear window and the Rear
Vision Camera.
For more information, please refer to your
Owner’s Manual.
BLIND-SPOT DETECTION (BSD)/ REAR CROSS-
TRAFFIC ALERT (RCTA)(if equipped)
This system uses radar sensors mounted behind the rear bumper on the left and right
sides that warn you if another vehicle is sensed in your blind spots. These functions
provide additional awareness when changing lanes or driving in reverse.
Blind-Spot Detection (BSD)
This function senses if a vehicle is in your blind spot and provides a
visual warning (yellow light) in the corresponding side mirror frame.
Lane Change Assist (LCA)
Lane Change Assist (LCA) works with Blind Spot Detection to
provide an additional level of warning if you attempt to change lanes
with a vehicle in your blind spot. LCA will rapidly flash the corresponding side mirror
indicator if you operate your turn signal when a vehicle is sensed in your blind spot.
DRIVER ASSIST TECHNOLOGIES
93

EYESIGHT®DISCLAIMER
EyeSight®is a driver assist technology which may not operate optimally under all driving
conditions. The driver is always responsible for safe and attentive driving. System
effectiveness depends on many factors such as vehicle maintenance, weather and road
conditions. See Owner’s Manual for complete details on system operations and limitations.
The Pre-Collision Braking system is designed to provide automatic braking that either
prevents a collision or reduces the severity of a frontal impact.
The Pre-Collision Throttle Management system is designed to reduce acceleration and
minimize the severity of certain frontal impacts.
Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control and Brake Light Recognition are designed to assist the
driver and are not substitutes for safe and attentive driving.
Lane Centering function operates only when used in conjunction with Advanced Adaptive
Cruise Control.
Lane Departure Prevention operates only when the lane markings are visible, and system
effectiveness depends on many factors.
Blind-Spot Detection, Lane Change Assist and Rear Cross Traffic Alert are systems
designed to assist the driver by monitoring the rear and side areas of the vehicle during a
lane change or reversing and are not a substitute for safe and attentive driving.
The Reverse Automatic Braking System is not a substitute for safe and attentive driving.
System effectiveness depends on many factors, such as vehicle maintenance, weather
and road conditions. Always exercise caution and use vehicle mirrors and the Rear-Vision
Camera when backing up. See Owner’s Manual for complete details on system operation
and limitations.
The Driver Focus Distraction Mitigation System is a driver recognition technology designed
to alert drivers if their attention to the road wavers or if the driver’s face appears to turn
away. The driver is always responsible for safe and attentive driving. System effectiveness
may be affected by articles of clothing worn on the head or face. See Owner’s Manual for
complete details on system operation and limitations.
