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 Keep Assist (LKA)
• 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 91 in this
Getting Started Guide for more details.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
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
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 Adaptive Cruise Control on or
off using the Adaptive Cruise Control On/Off button on the right side of the steering wheel
(see page 85). 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 Adaptive Cruise Control, push down the “SET/-” switch on the right side of the
steering wheel. The "READY" indicator turns off, the Adaptive Cruise Control icon turns
green, and the CMD indicates the set vehicle speed. This speed can be adjusted up or
down using the “RES +/SET -” switch (see page 85).
When a vehicle in front of you is identified, a Lead Vehicle indicator is displayed on the
Combination Meter Display (CMD) and/or Multi-Function Display (MFD). You can change
the desired following distance from the lead vehicle by pressing the “Increase Distance” or
“Decrease Distance” buttons (see page 85).
