Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering
Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control is a driving support system intended to reduce the
burden on you when driving on an expressway (including during congestion and when
driving at high speed). Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Centering work
together to assist you by automatically controlling the accelerator, brake, and steering.
Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control
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
Advanced 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 Advanced Adaptive Cruise
Control on or off using the Adaptive Cruise
Control On/Off button on the right side of the steering wheel (see page 107). 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 Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control, push down the “SET/–” switch on the right side
of the steering wheel. The CMD will indicate a target speed and the icon will turn green.
This speed can be adjusted up or down using the “RES/SET” switch (see page 107).
When a vehicle in front of you is identified, a Lead Vehicle icon will be displayed on the
Combination Meter Display (CMD). You can change the desired following distance from
the lead vehicle by pressing the “Increase Distance” or “Decrease Distance” buttons
(see page 107).

Lane Centering
The stereo camera detects lane markings
(including Botts’ dots) of the lane and the lead
vehicle, and the system assists the steering
operation by working with the electric power
steering to help keep your vehicle in its lane
when driving on expressways, freeways and
interstate highways.
This function can be used by pressing the
Lane Centering switch when Advanced
Adaptive Cruise Control is activated. When
driving at speeds of 0 mph to approximately
90 mph, the system detects the lane markings
and/or the lead vehicle and assists you with
steering in order to keep the vehicle close to
the center of the lane.
Conventional Cruise Control
Conventional Cruise Control maintains a
constant traveling speed you set, but it does
not adapt to the other vehicles in front of you.
To activate Conventional Cruise Control, press
the Adaptive Cruise Control On/Off button to
set Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control into
standby status. Then, with Advanced Adaptive
Cruise Control in standby status, press and
hold the “Increase Distance” or “Decrease
Distance” button on the steering wheel for
approximately two seconds.
The Cruise Control indicator on the
Combination Meter Display (CMD) will change
from the Adaptive Cruise Control icon to the Conventional Cruise Control icon, and the
“READY” indicator appears when all operational conditions are met. Use the accelerator to
reach the desired speed, then use the RES +/SET - switch to set the vehicle speed.

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.
Navigate the CID (select “Settings”, then the
“Car” menu) to access the EyeSight
®settings
menu to turn this function on or off.

EYESIGHT®ASSIST MONITOR (EAM)
The EyeSight®Assist Monitor (EAM) provides a
heads-up display of EyeSight®system functions in the
lower windshield area allowing you to keep your eyes
on the road ahead.
The EAM indicators can be changed by selecting
“Settings”, then “Car” to access the “EyeSight
®Assist
Monitor” settings menu in the Center Information
Display. Below are the indications provided by the EAM function:

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.
Rear-vision Camera Washer
To help keep your vision clear, your Subaru
comes equipped with a Rear-vision Camera
Washer. The Rear-vision Camera Washer is
activated whenever the washer for the rear
window is used. Rotate the end of the window
wiper lever down from the “OFF” position, or
up from the continuous operation position,
to clean both the rear window and the Rear
Vision Camera.
For more information, please refer to
“Instruments and Controls” in your Owner’s Manual.

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. You can turn the SRH system on or off in the Center Information Display through the
“Car Settings” icon.
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.
Reverse Automatic Braking (RAB) OFF
In some cases, such as connecting a trailer, it may be helpful to temporarily turn the
system off. RAB can be turned off using the touchscreen buttons on the lower corners
when the select lever is in the “R” position.
Select and hold the “RAB ON” button in the lower part of the touchscreen
until it changes to “RAB OFF” to disable the automatic braking functions of
the RAB system.
Select and hold the “P))) ON” button in the lower part of the touchscreen until
it changes to “P))) OFF” to disable the audible beeping of the RAB system.
