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 the stereo camera 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 between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you, pay attention to your surroundings and driving conditions, and take necessary actions 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 risk of accidents or damage and lessen the burden on the driver. When an EyeSight warning is activated, pay attention to what is in front of you and to your surroundings, and take necessary actions. 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:

About EyeSight
CAUTION
The characteristics of the stereo camera 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 camera. They also 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 camera’s field of view. Also, after an object enters the range of the camera’s field of view, it may take some time for the system to detect it as a controllable target and to warn the driver.
Low objects surrounding the vehicle cannot be detected.
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 windshield washer is in use.
- When raindrops, water drops, or dirt on the windshield are not wiped off suf­ficiently
- When the windshield has become fogged, scratched, or snow, dirt, dust or frost has adhered to it, or it is otherwise affected, these will reduce the ste­reo camera’s field of view.
- The vehicle is tilted at an extreme angle due to loaded cargo or other fac­tors.
- When visibility is poor due to sand, smoke or water vapor blowing in the wind, or when the front vision is obscured due to water splashes, snow, dirt or dust stir up generated by the vehicle in front or oncoming traffic

CAUTION
The stereo camera monitors and detects smears or blurs on the front of the camera. However, detection is not 100% accurate. Under certain conditions, the function may fail to detect smears or blurs on the front of the stereo camera accurately. In addition, this function may not detect that there is snow or ice on the windshield close to the stereo camera. 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 front of the stereo camera is smeared or blurred, no EyeSight functions can be activated except for Conventional Cruise Control.
The stereo camera lenses are precision components. Always observe the fol­lowing precautions especially when handling them.
- 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

When there is the risk of a rear-end collision with an obstacle in front, the EyeSight system helps to prevent or minimize 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 or minimize 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 or 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 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 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 suddenly or fully 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.

Pre-Collision Braking System
When the difference in speed with the obstacle in front is the following figure or more, it may not be possible to avoid a collision. Even if the speed differ­ence is the following figure cuts in front of you, or in other cases depending on visibility, the condition of road surface and other factors cle or may not activate. Pre-Collision Brake Assist also may not activate depending on the conditions

listed below.
*1: For vehicles: approximately 30 MPH (50 km/h),
For pedestrians: approximately 21 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.)
- Road conditions (grade, slipperiness, shape, bumps, etc.)
- When visibility ahead is poor (rain, snow, fog or smoke, etc.)
- 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 performance is reduced)
- When driving in rain or after washing the vehicle (the brakes are wet and braking performance is reduced)

- Recognition conditions of the stereo camera 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 blowing in the
wind, or when the front vision is obscured due to water splashes, snow, dirt or dust stir up generated by the vehicle in front or oncoming traffic
• 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 illu-
minated by the headlights
• When affected by strong light from the front (for example, sunlight at
dawn, sunset or headlight beams, etc.)
• When the windshield has become fogged, scratched, or snow, dirt, dust or
frost has adhered to it, or it is otherwise affected.
• 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 cam-
era’s view is obstructed by water droplets from rain or the window washer, or by the wiper blades.
• When the stereo camera’s field of view is obstructed (for example by a
canoe on the roof of the vehicle)
• 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 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 its 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 camera’s 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 sud-

denly cuts in from the 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 camera’s field of view.)
• 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
