2022 SUBARU ASCENT air

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 104 in this
Getting Started Guide 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

• Pre-Collision Braking (PCB)
• Pre-Collision Brake Assist
• Pre-Collision Throttle Management
• Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

STEREO CAMERA PRECAUTIONS
Your EyeSight®stereo cameras are precision components that must be kept free from
obstruction and contamination, such as fingerprints or cleaning solutions. When the
system detects that the stereo camera lenses are impaired, a malfunction indicator will be
displayed and EyeSight
®functions will not be available.
When you are in the vicinity of the EyeSight
®stereo cameras, always observe the following
precautions:
• Do not touch or attempt to clean the EyeSight
®camera lenses inside the vehicle. Extra
caution should be used when cleaning the inside of the windshield. Over-spray from
cleaning solutions may impair or even damage the camera lenses. Please inform others
who may attempt to clean the windshield, such as car wash staff, of this precaution.
• Electronic Toll Collection devices, such as EZPass
TM, must be installed in an area
that does not obstruct the stereo cameras' field of vision. See "Prohibited Area" on
page 105.
• Adjust the rearview mirror so it does not obstruct the stereo cameras' field of vision.
• Do not install any interior rearview mirror accessories, such as a wide-type mirror or
hanging objects. Only approved Genuine SUBARU accessories may be installed.
For more detailed information, please refer to your EyeSight
®Owner’s Manual.
WINDSHIELD GLASS AND DASHBOARD
Since the characteristics and limitations of the EyeSight®stereo cameras are similar to
human eyes, it is important that the area in front of the cameras be kept free from dirt,
scratches, cracks, fogging, or accessories mounted to the windshield, hood or dashboard.
Visual impairments or reflections can affect EyeSight
®system performance. Extra caution
should be taken when cleaning the windshield to prevent over-spray from cleaning
solutions.
The image in the following section outlines those areas that must be kept clean and free
from obstruction. Please refer to the Owner’s Manual for a complete listing of limitations.
