2022 SUBARU OUTBACK Getting Started Guide

Recognizing a Driver
DriverFocus®will scan and recognize you
as soon as you enter the vehicle.
The Combination Meter Display will show a
welcome screen with your user name and
personal icon. The vehicle will also recall your
user settings, such as driver seat and side
mirror positions.
If the system does not automatically recognize
a registered driver, you can repeat the facial
scan by selecting "Settings", then selecting
the "Car" menu. Select "Driver Monitoring
System", then "Repeat Facial Scan".

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 122.
• 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.

EYESIGHT®DISCLAIMER
EyeSight®is a driver assist technology which may not operate optimally under all driving
conditions. The driver is always responsible for safe and attentive driving. System
effectiveness depends on many factors such as vehicle maintenance, weather and road
conditions. See Owner’s Manual for complete details on system operations and limitations.
The Pre-Collision Braking system is designed to provide automatic braking that either
prevents a collision or reduces the severity of a frontal impact.
The Pre-Collision Throttle Management system is designed to reduce acceleration and
minimize the severity of certain frontal impacts.
Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control and Brake Light Recognition are designed to assist the
driver and are not substitutes for safe and attentive driving.
Lane Centering function operates only when used in conjunction with Advanced Adaptive
Cruise Control.
Lane Departure Prevention operates only when the lane markings are visible, and system
effectiveness depends on many factors.
Blind-Spot Detection, Lane Change Assist and Rear Cross Traffic Alert are systems
designed to assist the driver by monitoring the rear and side areas of the vehicle during a
lane change or reversing and are not a substitute for safe and attentive driving.
The Reverse Automatic Braking System is not a substitute for safe and attentive driving.
System effectiveness depends on many factors, such as vehicle maintenance, weather
and road conditions. Always exercise caution and use vehicle mirrors and the Rear-Vision
Camera when backing up. See Owner’s Manual for complete details on system operation
and limitations.
The Driver Focus Distraction Mitigation System is a driver recognition technology designed
to alert drivers if their attention to the road wavers or if the driver’s face appears to turn
away. The driver is always responsible for safe and attentive driving. System effectiveness
may be affected by articles of clothing worn on the head or face. See Owner’s Manual for
complete details on system operation and limitations.
