About EyeSight
3
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.
xThe 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.
- The tire pressure is not correct.
*1
- The temporary spare tire is installed.*1
- Tires that are unevenly worn or tires with uneven wear patterns are installed.*1
- Tires that are the wrong size are installed.*1
- Flat tires have been fixed temporarily with a tire repair kit.
- The suspension has been modified (including a genuine SUBARU sus-pension that has been modified).
- Any object that disturbs the stereo cameras’ view is installed on the vehi- cle.
- 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 illu-
minated 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 mal- function.
- 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.

CAUTION
xThe 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.
x 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.
x Under the conditions listed below, it will become more difficult for the sys-
tem 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 particu- lar, 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 old 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.
- 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 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 the stereo cameras’ field of view is obstructed (for example by a canoe on the roof of the vehicle)
S01970
Low objects surrounding the vehicle
cannot be detected.

- When passing through the entrance or exit of a tunnel
- When the rear aspect of the vehicle in front is low, small or irregular (forexample 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 vege- tation
- 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 the stereo camera lenses are dirty due to fingerprints, etc.
- When accurate detection is not possible due to reflections in the front windshield
- When the stereo cameras have become misaligned due to a strong impact
x Under the conditions listed below, EyeSight may temporarily stop operat-
ing. 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
x When there is a malfunction in the EyeSight system, turn off the Pre-Colli-
sion Braking System (
Ÿ refer to page 30) and the Lane Departure Warning
(
Ÿ refer to page 70), and stop using the Adaptive Cruise Control and Con-
ventional Cruise Control. Contact a SUBARU dealer and have the system
inspected.
x When the Vehicle Dynamics Control warning light is illuminated, the Pre-
Collision Braking System may not operate properly. If the indicator light is
illuminated, turn off the Pre-Collision Braking System. Also, do not use the
Adaptive Cruise Control or Conventional Cruise Control.

The stereo cameras are installed at the posi-
tions of the front map lights.

Handling of the Stereo Cameras
CAUTION
xA function is included that will automatic ally 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 cam-
eras. 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.
x The stereo camera is a precision component. Always observe the following
precautions especially when handling 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.

xDo not install any accessories other than the ones designated by SUBARU on
the prohibited areas shown in the illustrations (grey zones).
Even if some accessories are installed on the outside of the prohibited areas,
abnormal operation of EyeSight may occur due to the reflection of the light or
any objects. In this situation, move the accessories. For details, contact a
SUBARU dealer.

x Do not place any objects on top of the instrument panel. The stereo cameras
may not be able to detect objects accurately and the EyeSight system may not
function properly due to reflections in the front windshield. For details, contact a
SUBARU dealer.
x If the top of the instrument panel is polished with chemicals or other sub-
stances, the stereo cameras may not be able to detect objects accurately and
the EyeSight system may not operate properly due to reflections in the front
windshield.
x Do not install any wiper blades other than genuine SUBARU wiper blades.
Doing so may affect the stereo cameras’ field of view and could prevent the
EyeSight system from functioning properly.
x Replace damaged wiper blades as soon as possible. The stereo cameras may
not be able to detect objects accurately and the EyeSight system may not func-
tion properly due to liquid remaining on the windshield.
x Do not install any accessories
on the front side such as on the
hood or the grille. It may affect
the camera view and the system
may not operate correctly.
x Make sure that the cargo loaded
on the roof does not obstruct or
interfere in the stereo cameras’
field of view. Obstructing the
stereo cameras’ view may
impair the system operation. For
details, contact a SUBARU
dealer.
