About EyeSight
EyeSight
EyeSight is a driving support system that uses a range of functions to assist the driver in
making decisions in order to provide for more safe and comfortable driving and to reduce
driver fatigue. Making use of images created by stereo cameras specially designed by
SUBARU, EyeSight detects the vehicle in front, obstacles, traffic lanes and other items.
WARNING
Drivers are responsible for driving safely. Always comply with all
traffic rules and regulations regardless of the fact that your vehicle
is equipped with EyeSight. Always maintain a safe following distance behind the vehicle in front of you, pay attention to your surroundings and the driving conditions, operate the brake pedal and
take other action as necessary in order to maintain a safe following
distance.
Never attempt to drive relying on EyeSight alone.
EyeSight is intended to assist the driver in making decisions in
order to reduce the chance of accidents or damage and lessen the
burden on the driver.
When a warning is activated, pay attention to what is in front of you
and to your surroundings, operate the brake pedal and take other
action as necessary.
This system is not designed to support driving in poor visibility or
in extreme weather conditions, or to protect against careless driving when the driver is not paying complete attention to the road
ahead. It also cannot prevent collisions from occurring in all driving
conditions.
There are limits to the EyeSight recognition performance and control performance. Be sure to read the instructions for each function
before using the system, and always use it properly. Improper use
may lead to failure of control performance, which could cause an
accident.
Refer to the following pages for each function:
• For the Pre-Collision Braking System, refer to page 21.
• For Adaptive Cruise Control, refer to page 33.
• For Pre-Collision Throttle Management, refer to page 53.
• For Conventional Cruise Control, refer to page 66.
The EyeSight system in your vehicle is designed for use in
countries in which traffic drives on the right-hand side of the road.
EyeSight for LHD vehicles such as yours is not designed for use in
countries in which vehicles are driven on the left-hand side of the
road.
• The system may not operate correctly under the conditions listed below.
When these conditions occur, turn off the Pre-Collision Braking System.
Also, do not use Adaptive Cruise Control and Conventional Cruise Control.

About EyeSight
• The characteristics of the stereo cameras are similar to those of human
eyes. For this reason, conditions that make it difficult for the driver to see
in the forward direction have the same effect on the stereo cameras and
make it difficult for the system to detect vehicles, obstacles and traffic
lanes.
• Detection by the EyeSight system is limited to objects that are within the
range of the stereo cameras’ field of view. Also, after an object enters the
range of the cameras’ field of view, it may take some time for the system
to detect it as a controllable target and warn the driver.
Low objects surrounding the vehicle
cannot be detected.
CAUTION
S01970
• Under the conditions listed below, it will become more difficult for the system to detect the vehicle in front, motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrians and
obstacles on the road, and lane markers. Also, EyeSight may temporarily
stop operating. However, the temporary stop will be canceled once these
conditions have improved and the vehicle is driven for a short period of
time.
- Bad weather (for example heavy rain, a blizzard or thick fog). In particular, the system is more likely to temporarily stop operating when there is
an oil film adhering to the windshield, a glass coating has been applied,
or poorly performing wipers are used.)
- When affected by strong light from the front (sunlight or headlight beams
of oncoming traffic, etc.)
- When the front windshield washer is being used.
- When raindrops, water drops, or dirt on the front windshield are not
wiped off sufficiently
- The windshield has become fogged, or snow, dirt, dust or frost has
adhered to it, reducing the stereo cameras’ field of view.
- The vehicle is tilted at an extreme angle due to loaded cargo or other
factors.
- When the stereo cameras’ field of view is obstructed (for example by a
canoe on the roof of the vehicle)

About EyeSight
- When visibility is poor due to sand, smoke or water vapor in the air, or
when the vehicle in front or oncoming traffic causes water, snow, dirt or
other substances to obscure the view
- When passing through the entrance or exit of a tunnel
- When the rear aspect of the vehicle in front is low, small or irregular (for
example a low bed trailer, etc.)
- When there is a fence, a wall or a shutter, etc. with a uniform pattern (a
striped pattern, brick, etc.) or with no pattern in front
- When there is a wall or door made of glass or a mirror in front
- When driving at night or in a tunnel when there is a vehicle in front that
does not have its taillights on
- When passing a banner or flag, low branches on a tree or thick/tall vegetation
- On steep uphill or downhill grades
- When the stereo cameras are obstructed by a hand, etc. (If even one of
the cameras is obstructed, the system does not operate properly.)
- When it is completely dark and no objects are detected
- When the area around the vehicle has a uniform color (such as when
completely covered in snow, etc.)
- When accurate detection is not possible due to reflections in the front
windshield
• Under the conditions listed below, EyeSight may temporarily stop
operating. If this occurs, EyeSight will resume operating when the
conditions improve.
- The temperature inside the vehicle is high, such as after the vehicle was
left in bright sunshine, or the temperature inside the vehicle is low, such
as after the vehicle was left in an extremely cold environment.
- Immediately after the engine starts
• Under the conditions listed below, it is difficult to recognize vehicles in
front, motorcycles, pedestrians, obstacles on the road, traffic lanes, etc.
Also, the EyeSight system may temporarily stop operating. If the EyeSight
system repeatedly stops operating several times, contact a SUBARU
dealer and have the system inspected.
- When the stereo camera lenses are dirty due to fingerprints, etc.
- When the stereo cameras have become misaligned due to a strong
impact
• When there is a malfunction in the EyeSight system, turn off the Pre-Collision Braking System (

About EyeSight
The stereo cameras are installed at the positions of the front map lights.
Stereo cameras
A
CAUTION
• A function is included that will automatically detect that the fronts of the
stereo cameras are dirty. However it is not 100% effective.
Under certain conditions, this function may fail to detect that the fronts of
the stereo cameras have become dirty. In addition, this function may not
detect that there is snow or ice on the windshield close to the stereo cameras. In such conditions, be sure to keep the windshield clean at all times
(indicated by ). Otherwise the system may not operate correctly.
When this function detects that the fronts of the stereo cameras are dirty,
no EyeSight functions are activated except for Conventional Cruise
Control.
• The stereo camera is a precision component. Always observe the following
precautions especially when handling the lenses.
- Never touch the stereo camera lenses, and do not attempt to wipe or
clean the lenses. Doing so could damage or soil the lens, and lead to
improper system performance.
If you ever touch a lens for any reason, be sure to contact a SUBARU
dealer.

Pre-Collision Braking System
Pre-Collision Braking System
When there is the risk of a rear-end collision with an obstacle in front, the EyeSight system
helps to minimize or prevent a collision by warning the driver. If the driver still does not take
evasive action to avoid a collision, the brakes can be automatically applied just before the
collision in order to reduce impact damage, or if possible, prevent the collision. If the driver
takes evasive action to avoid a collision, Pre-Collision Brake Assist will operate in order to
help the driver to prevent the collision.
This system can be effective not only with direct rear-end collisions, but also with offset
rear-end collisions. This function can be activated when the select lever is in the , or
N
positions.
WARNING
• Never use the Pre-Collision Braking System and Pre-Collision Brake
Assist to stop your car or avoid a collision under ordinary conditions. These
functions cannot prevent collisions under all conditions. If the driver relies
only on the Pre-Collision Braking System for Brake operation, collisions
may occur.
• When a warning is activated, pay attention to the front of the vehicle and its
surroundings, and operate the brake pedal and/or take other actions if necessary.
• The EyeSight Pre-Collision Braking System is primarily designed to prevent rear-end collisions with other vehicles when possible and to minimize
damage and injuries in the event of a collision. In addition to other vehicles, things such as motorbikes, bicycles and pedestrians can also be
treated as obstacles. However, there may be cases when detection is not
possible depending on a variety of conditions
cle is viewed from the side, oncoming vehicle, vehicles approaching in
reverse, small animals or children, or walls or doors are not likely to be
detected.
• The Pre-Collision Braking System will operate at the point when it determines that a collision cannot be avoided and is designed to apply strong
braking force just before a collision. The result of this varies depending on
a variety of conditions
not always be the same.
• When the Pre-Collision Braking System is activated, it will continue to
operate even if the accelerator pedal is partially depressed. However, it will
be canceled if the accelerator pedal is deeply depressed.
• If the driver depresses the brake pedal or turns the steering wheel, the system may determine that this constitutes evasive action by the driver, and
the automatic braking control may not activate in order to allow the driver
full control.
• When the difference in speed with the obstacle in front is the following fig-
*1
or more, it may not be possible to avoid a collision. Even if the speed
ure
difference is the following figure
vehicle cuts in front of you, or in other cases depending on visibility, the
condition of road surface and other factors
stop the vehicle or may not activate. Pre-Collision Brake Assist also may
not activate depending on the conditions

For pedestrians: approximately 20 MPH (35 km/h)
*2: Conditions
- Distance to obstacle in front of you, speed difference, proximity conditions, lateral displacement (the amount of offset)
- Vehicle conditions (amount of load, number of occupants, etc.)

Pre-Collision Braking System
⇒ Continued from previous page
- When the detected object is something other than a vehicle, motorcycle,
bicycle or pedestrian
• A domestic animal or other animal (a dog or deer, etc.)
• A guardrail, telephone pole, tree, fence or wall, etc.
- Even if the obstacle is a motorcycle, bicycle or pedestrian, depending on
the brightness of the surroundings as well as the relative movement, and
aspect or angle of the object, there may be cases when the system cannot detect it.
- When the system determines that operation by the driver (based on
accelerator pedal operation, braking, steering wheel angle, etc.) is
intended as evasive action
- Vehicle maintenance status (brake systems, tire wear, tire pressure,
whether a temporary spare tire is being used, etc.)
- When towing a trailer or another vehicle, etc.
- When the brakes are cold due to outside temperature being low or just
after starting the engine.
- When the brakes are overheated on downhill grades (braking effectiveness is reduced)
- When driving in rain or after washing the vehicle (the brakes are wet and
braking effectiveness is reduced)
- Recognition conditions of the stereo cameras
In particular, the function may be unable to stop the vehicle or may not
activate in the following cases.
• Bad weather (for example heavy rain, a blizzard or thick fog)
• When visibility is poor due to sand, smoke or water vapor in the air or
when the vehicle in front or oncoming traffic causes water, snow, dirt,
dust or other substances to obscure the view through the windshield
• When driving at night or in a tunnel without the headlights on
• When driving at night or in a tunnel when there is a vehicle in front that
does not have its taillights on
• When approaching a motorcycle, bicycle or pedestrian at night
• When ambient light is poor in the evening or early morning
• When a vehicle, motorcycle, bicycle or pedestrian is outside the area
illuminated by the headlights
• When affected by strong light from the front (for example, sunlight at
dawn, sunset or headlight beams, etc.)
• When there is snow, frost, dirt or dust on the windshield or it is clouded
• When fluid has not been fully wiped off the windshield during or after
washer use
• When the target cannot be correctly recognized because the stereo
cameras’ view is obstructed by water droplets from rain or the window
washer, or by the wiper blades.
• When the stereo cameras’ field of view is obstructed (for example by a
canoe on the roof of the vehicle)

Pre-Collision Braking System
• When the rear aspect of
the vehicle in front is
low, small or irregular
(the system may recognize another part of the
vehicle as its rear and
will determine operation
from that)
- When there is an
empty truck or trailer
with no rear and/or
side panels on the
cargo bed
- With vehicles that
S02133
have cargo protruding
from their back ends
- With non-standard shaped vehicles (vehicle transporters or vehicles
with a sidecar fitted, etc.)
- When the height of the vehicle is low, etc.
• When there is a wall, etc. in front of a stopped vehicle
• When there is another object near the vehicle
• When a vehicle, etc. has it’s side facing you.
• With vehicles that are backing up or with oncoming vehicles, etc.
• When the size and height of an obstacle is smaller than the limitations
of the stereo cameras’ recognition capability
- With small animals or children, etc.
- With pedestrians who are sitting or lying down
• When the detected object
is a fence or wall, etc.
with a uniform pattern (a
striped pattern or brick
pattern, etc.)
• When there is a wall or
door made of glass or a
mirror in front
• When the vehicle in front
suddenly swerves, accelerates, or decelerates.
• When a vehicle, motorcycle, bicycle or pedestrian
suddenly cuts in from the
S00653
side or suddenly runs in
front of you.
• When you suddenly change lanes and your vehicle is immediately
behind an obstacle
• When there is a vehicle, motorcycle, bicycle or pedestrian in a location
close to your vehicle’s bumper
• When the speed difference between your vehicle and an obstacle is 4
MPH (5 km/h) or less (As braking is performed once the obstacle is in
close proximity to your vehicle, depending on the shape and size of the
obstacle, there may be some cases when the obstacle is outside the
range of the cameras’ field of view.)

Pre-Collision Braking System
⇒ Continued from previous page
• When driving on sharp curves, steep uphill grades or steep downhill
grades
• When driving on a bumpy or unpaved road
• When there are changes in brightness, such as at a tunnel entrance or
exit
• Do not test Pre-Collision Braking System on its own. It may operate
improperly and cause an accident.
• The system may not operate correctly under the conditions listed below.
When these conditions occur, turn off the Pre-Collision Braking System.
- The tire pressure is not correct.
- The temporary spare tire is installed.
- Tires that are unevenly worn or tires with uneven wear patterns are
installed.
*1
- Tires that are the wrong size are installed.
- Flat tires have been fixed temporarily with a tire repair kit.
- The suspension has been modified (including a genuine SUBARU suspension that has been modified).
- Any object that disturbs the stereo cameras’ view is installed on the vehicle.
- The headlights are dirty or they have snow and ice or dirt on them.
(Objects are not correctly illuminated and are difficult to detect.)
- The optical axes are not aligned correctly. (Objects are not correctly illuminated and are difficult to detect.)
- The lights including headlights and fog lamps have been modified.
- Vehicle operation has become compromised due to an accident or malfunction.
- The brake system warning light is illuminated in red.
- A heavy cargo is loaded onto or inside the vehicle.
- The maximum number of occupants is exceeded.
- There is something wrong with the combination meter; such as when the
lights do not illuminate, the beeps do not sound, the display is different
from when it is normal, etc.
*1: The wheels and tires have functions that are critically important. Be
sure to use the correct ones. For details, refer to the Owner’s Manual
for your vehicle.

Pre-Collision Braking System
CAUTION
• In the following situations, turn off the Pre-Collision Braking System. Otherwise the Pre-Collision Braking System may activate unexpectedly.
- When the vehicle is being towed
- When loading the vehicle onto a carrier
- When a chassis dynamometer, free-rollers or similar equipment is used
- When a mechanic lifts up the vehicle, starts the engine and spins the
wheels freely
- When passing hanging banners, flags or branches, or when thick/tall
vegetation is contacting the vehicle
- When using a drive-through
car wash
S00656
• The Pre-Collision Braking System may activate in the following situations.
Therefore concentrate on safe driving.
- When passing through an automatic gate (opening and shutting)
- When driving close to the vehicle in front
- When driving in a location where the grade of the road changes rapidly
S01264
- When visibility is poor due to sand, smoke or water vapor in the air, or when
the vehicle in front or oncoming traffic causes water, snow, dirt or other
substances to obscure the view
- When passing through clouds of steam or smoke, etc.

Pre-Collision Braking System
⇒ Continued from previous page
- When the exhaust gas emitted by the vehicle in front is clearly visible in cold
weather, etc.
- When there is an obstacle on
a curve or intersection
- When narrowly passing a
vehicle or an object
- When stopping very close to
a wall or a vehicle in front
• If there is cargo or installed
accessories, etc. that are protruding over the edge of the
front bumper, the vehicle’s
length will increase and the
system may not be able to prevent a collision.
• If the driver operates the brake
pedal during automatic braking, the pedal may feel stiff; however, this is normal. By depressing the brake pedal further you can apply more braking force.

NOTE
Some unusual noises may be audible during automatic braking. This is
caused by the braking control and is normal.
■ Detection of pedestrians
The EyeSight system can also detect
pedestrians. The EyeSight system detects
pedestrians from their size, shape and
movement. The system detects a pedestrian
when the contour of the head and shoulders
are clear.
WARNING
The EyeSight system’s Pre-Collision Braking function also treats pedestrians
as obstacles. However, depending on the conditions, there may be cases
when the system cannot detect a pedestrian. In the following conditions, the
possibility that the system may not be able to detect a pedestrian as an object
is particularly high.
• When pedestrians are walking in a group
• When a pedestrian is next to a wall or other obstacle
• When a pedestrian is using an umbrella
• When a pedestrian is wearing clothes that are a similar color to the sur-
rounding environment
• When a pedestrian is carrying bulky luggage
• When a pedestrian is bent over, crouching down or lying down
• When a pedestrian is in a dark location
• When a pedestrian suddenly crosses in front of you from the side or sud-
denly runs in front of you
