Foreword
Congratulations on choosing a SUBARU vehicle equipped with EyeSightTM.
EyeSight incorporates the latest driver assistance features available from
SUBARU, including such features as Adaptive Cruise Control, a Lead Vehicle Start
Alert and a Lane Departure and Lane Sway Warning, all of which are designed to
assist the driver in making decisions and increase driver comfort and
convenience. Initially, the operation and use of the various EyeSight features may
be unfamiliar to you. That is why we urge you to read this manual carefully before
using EyeSight. We also recommend that you first take the time to test EyeSight in
order to experience its features for yourself so that you can become familiar with
their operation.
Please keep in mind that it is the responsibility of drivers to operate their vehicles
safely at all times. Drivers should always remain alert and should never become
complacent while operating their vehicles because of the presence of EyeSight.
EyeSight is never a substitute for active driver involvement and it may not operate
optimally under all driving conditions.
This booklet is a supplement to the Owner’s Manual for your SUBARU vehicle and
contains a detailed description of EyeSight. It should be read in conjunction with
your Owner’s Manual so that you will gain a thorough understanding of the proper
operation of your vehicle.
The information, specifications and illustrations found in this booklet are those in
effect at the time of printing. FUJI HEAVY INDUSTRIES LTD. reserves the right to
change specifications and designs at any time without prior notice and without
incurring any obligation to make the same or similar changes on vehicles
previously sold.
Please keep this booklet together with your Owner’s Manual and leave it in the
vehicle at the time of resale. The next owner will need the information it contains.

About 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.
EyeSight
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 dis-
tance behind the vehicle in front of you, pay attention to your sur-
roundings 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 driv-
ing 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 con-
trol 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:
xFor the Pre-Collision Braking System, refer to page 20.
xFor Adaptive Cruise Control, refer to page 32.
xFor Pre-Collision Throttle Management, refer to page 62.
xFor Conventional Cruise Control, refer to page 75.

The EyeSight system in your vehicle is designed for use in coun-
tries in which traffic operates 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 on any wheel.*1
- Tires that are worn or have large variations in wear conditions are
installed.*1
- Tires other than those of the designated 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.

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.
xDetection by the EyeSight system is limited to objects that are within the
range of the stereo cameras’ field of vision. Also, after an object enters the
range of the cameras’ field of vision, it may take some time for the system
to detect it as a controllable target and warn the driver.
xUnder 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 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
xUnder 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
xWhen 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.
xWhen the Vehicle Dynamics Control warning light is illuminated, the Pre-
Collision Braking System may not operate properly. In this case, turn off
the Pre-Collision Braking System. Also, do not use the Adaptive Cruise
Control or Conventional Cruise Control.
