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

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

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 113.
• 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.
