You can turn this system on or off in the
Center Information Display (CID) (see
page 110).

side-to-side vehicle movement within a lane of
travel that may indicate a drowsy or inattentive
driver. Using the EyeSight
®camera, the Lane
Sway Warning function identifies lane
markings when traveling at speeds of
approximately 37 mph or greater. Warnings
are displayed in the Combination Meter
Display (CMD) with audible beeps. Lane Sway

Lane Departure Prevention
This function provides steering assistance to
keep your Subaru in its lane of travel when
cruising on expressways, freeways, and
interstate highways. Using the EyeSight
®
camera, the Lane Departure Prevention
Function identifies lane markings when
traveling at speeds of approximately 37 mph
or greater.
Operate the Center Information Display (CID)
to turn on/off the Lane Departure Prevention
Function by selecting “All Functions” or “Lane
Departure Prevention Function Only” on the
“Lane Departure Prevention Function” screen
of the EyeSight
®settings.
As you drive the vehicle above the minimum speed, white lane marking graphics on the
CMD will indicate that right and/or left lane markings have been successfully identified by
the EyeSight
®camera.
If your Subaru is about to depart the driving lane, the system can assist the steering by
gently guiding the vehicle back into your lane. When the system is actively providing
assistance, the lane indicator on the side where the Lane Departure Prevention Function
activated changes from white to yellow.
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 107). 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 107).
When a vehicle in front of you is identified, a Lead Vehicle icon will be displayed on the
Combination Meter Display (CMD). You can change the desired following distance from the
lead vehicle by pressing the “Increase Distance” or “Decrease Distance” buttons (see
page 107).

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 Centering switch when Advanced
Adaptive Cruise Control is activated. When
driving at speeds of 0 mph to approximately
90 mph, the system detects the lane markings
or the lead vehicle and assists you with
steering in order to keep the vehicle close to
the center of the lane.
Conventional Cruise Control
Conventional Cruise Control maintains a
constant traveling speed you set, but it does
not adapt to the other vehicles in front of you.
To activate Conventional Cruise Control, press
the Adaptive Cruise Control On/Off button to
set Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control into
standby status. Then, with Advanced Adaptive
Cruise Control in standby status, press and
hold the “Increase Distance” or “Decrease
Distance” button on the steering wheel for
approximately two seconds.
The Cruise Control indicator on the
Combination Meter Display (CMD) will change
from the Adaptive Cruise Control icon to the Conventional Cruise Control icon. Use the
accelerator to reach the desired speed, then use the RES +/SET - switch to set the vehicle
speed.

Lead Vehicle Start Alert
This function will provide a visual and audible
alert when a stopped vehicle in front of you
begins to move, and your vehicle remains
stationary. Warnings are displayed in the
Combination Meter Display (CMD) with
audible beeps. Lead Vehicle Start Alert is
helpful in situations where you may become
temporarily distracted at a traffic light, and the
vehicle ahead begins to move.

“Car” menu) to access the EyeSight
