X-MODE®(if equipped)
X-MODE®is the integrated control system of the
engine, All Wheel Drive, and Vehicle Dynamics Control
(VDC) systems for driving with bad road conditions.
Using X-MODE
®, you can drive more comfortably
even in slippery road conditions, such as mud or
snow, including uphill and
downhill. You can activate the
system when the vehicle speed is
less than 12 mph. If the vehicle
speed reaches 25 mph, the
X-MODE
®system is canceled and
can be reactivated once the once
the vehicle speed is lower.

REAR SEAT REMINDER(if equipped)
The Rear Seat Reminder system assists you in
preventing a child or pet from being left in your
Subaru, prompting you to confirm the
presence of passengers and cargo in the rear
seats. The system monitors the opening and
closing of the rear doors. It does not physically
sense the presence of a child or pet.
The system activates when the rear doors are
opened and closed. When the ignition switch
is turned from the “ON” position to the “OFF”
position, the system warns you with audible
beeps and with a “Reminder, Look in Rear
Seat” message in the Combination Meter
Display (CMD).
You can turn the Rear Seat Reminder off in the Combination Meter Display (CMD).
CARGO COVER(if equipped)
Use the detachable cargo cover to protect
contents in the cargo area from direct sunlight.
Pull the cover toward the rear of your Subaru
and insert both ends of the cover into the
catches.
Store the cover under the floor of the cargo
area when not in use. Make sure to hook the
loops on the floor cover to the hooks in the
trim panel to help carry the load of any
contents that are stored in the cargo area.
Instructions for operation are included on the
cargo cover housing.

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
• 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 92 in this
Getting Started Guide for more details.

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.
This function can be customized. To change
this setting, use the steering wheel mounted
“i/SET” switches to access the EyeSight
®
settings menu on the CMD.

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.
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)
Blind Spot Detection senses if a vehicle is traveling at the same
relative speed in your blind spot and provides a visual warning. If
the system detects a vehicle in your blind spot, the BSD/RCTA
approach indicator light in the corresponding side mirror frame
illuminates. If you operate the turn signal lever in the direction the
BSD/RCTA approach indicator light is illuminated, the system provides an additional level
of warning by rapidly flashing the BSD/RCTA approach indicator light.
Lane Change Assist (LCA)
Lane Change Assist (LCA) provides an additional level of protection by warning you of
rapidly approaching vehicles in the neighboring lanes. If LCA detects a vehicle
approaching at a high speed in the neighboring lanes, the BSD/RCTA approach indicator
light in the corresponding side mirror frame illuminates. If you operate the turn signal lever
in the direction the BSD/RCTA approach indicator light is illuminated, the system rapidly
flashes the BSD/RCTA approach indicator light.

Rear Cross-Traffic Alert (RCTA)
This function detects a vehicle approaching
from either side as you reverse, helping you
check the rear and side areas of the vehicle
when moving backward. If RCTA detects a
vehicle approaching from either side while
moving backward, the system provides visual
and audible warnings: The BSD/RCTA
approach indicator light(s) on the side mirror(s)
flash, the BSD/RCTA warning indicator
appears in the upper corner of the Rear-Vision
Camera display, and a warning buzzer sounds.
Blind Spot Detection / Rear Cross Traffic Alert OFF
BSD/RCTA can be deactivated by pressing the
BSD/RCTA OFF switch in the instrument panel. Press
the switch again to turn BSD/RCTA back on. When
these functions are off, a yellow BSD/RCTA OFF
indicator illuminates in the Combination Meter.

HIGH BEAM ASSIST (HBA)(if equipped)
This function uses the EyeSight®cameras to automatically switch
the headlights between high and low beam settings, enhancing
safety for both you and other drivers on the road. To activate High
Beam Assist, set the headlight control switch to the “AUTO”
position and push the headlight lever forward to the high beam
position. The green HBA indicator illuminates on the Combination
Meter.
HBA automatically activates the high beams when the forward area is dark, there are no
preceding/oncoming vehicles or sharp curves in the road, and your speed is approximately
20 mph or greater. When a preceding/oncoming vehicle is detected, the forward area is
bright, your speed decreases to 10 mph or less, or the EyeSight
®system is malfunctioning
or is temporarily stopped, HBA automatically switches to low beams.
STEERING RESPONSIVE HEADLIGHTS (SRH)
(if equipped)
The Steering Responsive Headlights (SRH) system aims the headlight beams in the
direction you are steering, improving visibility at corners and intersections when driving at
night. Although the system is normally on, you can turn the system off using the SRH OFF
switch located on the lower left console.
For more information, please refer to “Instruments and Controls” in your Owner’s
Manual.
REVERSE AUTOMATIC BRAKING (RAB)(if equipped)
This system uses four rear bumper mounted
sonar sensors to detect objects when moving
between 1 and 9 mph in reverse. RAB uses the
Rear-Vision Camera image to display colored
proximity alerts when an object is detected. As
an object becomes closer to the rear of your
vehicle, audible beeps provide additional
awareness in progressive levels. If RAB
determines that a collision with an object is
possible, the system can automatically apply
the brakes to help prevent or minimize the
impact.
