EYESIGHT®OVERVIEW
Your Subaru features a variety of safety
systems that are the culmination of everything
Subaru Engineers know about safety. These
systems are referred to as “Driver Assist
Technologies” and add confidence to every
trip you and your passengers take. Working
together, these systems provide enhanced
awareness, safety, and convenience in front,
to the sides, and behind your Subaru. Subaru
Driver Assist Technologies include:
• EyeSight
®Driver Assist Technology
• Rear-Vision Camera
• Pre-Collision Braking
• Blind-Spot Detection (BSD)
• Rear Cross-Traffic Alert (RCTA)
• Reverse Automatic Braking (RAB)
• High Beam Assist (HBA)
• Lane Departure Prevention
• Steering Responsive Headlights (SRH)
OPERATION
EyeSight®is a driver assist technology that
uses dual color cameras to serve as an extra
pair of eyes on the road ahead to identify
vehicles in front, pedestrians, traffic lanes, or
other objects. If need be, the EyeSight
®
system can apply the brakes and/or reduce
engine power to help avoid or reduce the
severity of a collision. During these events, the
system will provide audible and visual alerts to
assist you in making decisions.
Since the characteristics and limitations of the
EyeSight
®color cameras are similar to human
eyes, it is important that the cameras,
windshield, and area in front of the cameras
are treated with special care. Please refer to
“Care and Limitations” on page 101 for more
details.

FUNCTIONS
The EyeSight®system features several distinct functions designed to provide extra
awareness, improve safety, reduce fatigue, and add peace of mind every time you drive
your Subaru. EyeSight
®functions include:
• Pre-Collision Braking (PCB)
• Pre-Collision Brake Assist
• Pre-Collision Throttle Management
• Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
• Lane Sway Warning
• Lane Departure Prevention
• Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control
• Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control (AACC)
• Lane Centering
• Conventional Cruise Control
• Lead Vehicle Start Alert
Pre-Collision Braking
This function helps prevent or minimize a
frontal collision with another vehicle,
pedestrian, or other objects by providing
visual and audible warnings. Warnings are
displayed in the Combination Meter Display
(CMD) with audible beeps. If you take no
corrective action, the system automatically
reduces engine power and applies the brakes
with increasing force to help prevent or
minimize the collision.
This system can be turned on or off by using
the Pre-Collision Braking System OFF switch
(see page 92).
Pre-Collision Brake Assist
This function recognizes a possible collision with another vehicle, a pedestrian, or object in
front while you are applying the brakes. If the system determines not enough force is
applied, it can assist by applying additional pressure to the braking system to decrease
stopping distance.
This system can be turned on or off by using the Pre-Collision Braking System OFF switch
(see page 92).

Lane Sway Warning
This function detects repetitive or unusual
side-to-side vehicle movement within a lane of
travel that may indicate a drowsy or inattentive
driver. Using the EyeSight
®camera, the Lane
Sway Warning function identifies lane
markings when traveling at speeds of
approximately 37 mph or greater. Warnings
are displayed in the Combination Meter
Display (CMD) with audible beeps. Lane Sway
Warning does not provide any corrective
actions.
You can turn this system on or off by using
the Lane Departure Warning OFF switch (see
page 92).
Lane Departure Prevention
This function provides steering assistance to
keep you in the lane of travel when driving on
expressways, freeways, and interstate
highways at approximately 37 mph or greater.
Lane Departure Prevention uses the EyeSight
®
camera to identify lane markings and assists
steering operation to help prevent lane
departure.
This function is turned on or off using the Lane
Keep Assist button on the right side of the
steering wheel. Once the system is turned on,
a white Lane Keep Assist icon will be
displayed on the Combination Meter Display
(CMD). Lane marking graphics on the CMD
change to white to indicate that the right and/or left lane markings have been successfully
identified by the EyeSight
®camera. If the vehicle is about to depart the driving lane, the
system assists steering by gently guiding the vehicle back into your lane. When the system
is actively providing assistance, the Lane Keep Assist icon in the CMD will change from
white to green.

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 91). 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 91).
When a vehicle in front of you is identified, a Lead Vehicle icon will be displayed on the
Combination Meter Display (CMD) and/or Multi-Function Display (MFD). You can change
the desired following distance from the lead vehicle by pressing the “Increase Distance” or
“Decrease Distance” buttons (see page 91).

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 Keep Assist switch when the 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. Use the accelerator to reach the desired speed, then
use the RES +/SET - switch to set the vehicle speed.

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)
This function senses if a vehicle is in your blind spot and provides a
visual warning (yellow light) in the corresponding side mirror frame.
Lane Change Assist (LCA)
Lane Change Assist (LCA) works with Blind Spot Detection to
provide an additional level of warning if you attempt to change lanes
with a vehicle in your blind spot. LCA will rapidly flash the corresponding side mirror
indicator if you operate your turn signal when a vehicle is sensed in your blind spot.
