NOTE:
• For models equipped with the BSD (Blind Spot Detection) and RCTA (Rear Cross TrafficAlert) driving support systems, when towing a trailer, it may be necessary to press the
BSD/RCTA OFF switch to deactivate the system. The system may not operate as
expected due to obstruction of the radar waves. For details about the BSD/RCTA OFF
switch, refer to page 103 and/or “Starting and Operating” in your Owner’s Manual.
• For models equipped with the RAB (Reverse Automatic Braking) driving support system, when towing a trailer, it may be necessary to press the RAB button to deactivate the
system. The system may not operate as expected due to obstruction of the sonar
waves. For details about the RAB button, refer to page 105 and/or “Starting and
Operating” in your Owner’s Manual.
Please refer to “Driving Tips” in your Owner’s Manual for complete details, especially if
you plan to use this vehicle for regular towing.

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 112 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
®functions include:
• Pre-Collision Braking (PCB)
• Pre-Collision Brake Assist
• Automatic Emergency Steering
• Pre-Collision Throttle Management
• Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
• Lane Sway Warning
• Lane Departure Prevention
• Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering
• Conventional Cruise Control
• Lead Vehicle Start Alert

Pre-Collision Braking
This function helps prevent or minimize a
frontal collision with another vehicle,
pedestrian, or other objects by providing
visual and audible warnings. Warnings are
displayed in the Combination Meter Display
(CMD) with audible beeps. If you take no
corrective action, the system automatically
reduces engine power and applies the brakes
with increasing force to help prevent or
minimize the collision.
The Pre-Collision Braking function may also
assist with avoiding or reducing the severity of
collisions with crossing pedestrians and
cyclists and with oncoming vehicles and
pedestrians when turning.
This system can be turned on or off by using the Pre-Collision Braking System OFF switch
(see page 100).
Pre-Collision Brake Assist
This function activates when the Pre-Collision Braking System is activated, the system
determines that there is a high risk of collision with an obstacle in front, and you apply the
brakes. The function assists by applying additional pressure to the braking system to
decrease stopping distance.
This system can be turned on or off by using the Pre-Collision Braking System OFF switch
(see page 100).
Automatic Emergency Steering(if equipped)
The Automatic Emergency Steering function activates when the Pre-Collision Braking
System has activated and there is an extremely high possibility of a collision with an
obstacle ahead. When traveling at 50 mph or slower, the function uses the EyeSight
®
cameras and rear radar to determine if there is enough space to safely avoid a collision
with the object ahead, detecting lane markings and making sure that there are no other
objects in front as well as behind, such as oncoming vehicles or pedestrians.
Once activated, Automatic Emergency Steering provides automatic steering support to
avoid the collision while staying within the lane. After a collision is avoided, the system
continues steering assist and brake control to maintain the vehicle in its lane until the
vehicle stops.
This function can be turned on or off by using the Pre-Collision Braking System OFF
switch (see page 100) or the BSD/RCTA OFF switch (see page 103).

HIGH BEAM ASSIST (HBA)
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 an 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)
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.
