Checking for Map Updates
You can update the maps to the latest information. The maps should be checked and
updated regularly for the best possible navigation experience.
Atwww.subaru-maps.com, you can update the entire USA map at once via USB. The
maps can also be updated over the air. When updating over the air, you can update eight
regions at a time. This allows you to update your home state without having to download
the entire map program for the United States. This option is great if you normally stay in
your home state and/or surrounding states.
Updating Maps Over-the-Air
To update your maps over the air, first Connect to a Wi-Fi network (see page 119). Map
updates can be found by selecting “Settings”, then “Navigation” on the Touchscreen.
For more step by step directions for updating your maps through Wi-Fi, please refer to
page 127.

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 100 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 96).
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 96).
Pre-Collision Throttle Management
This function is designed to help prevent you from unintentionally accelerating into a
stopped vehicle or other obstacle by reducing engine power. Warnings are displayed in the
Combination Meter Display (CMD) with audible beeps.
Pre-Collision Throttle Management is helpful when:
• You unintentionally place the select lever in the “D” position instead of the “R” position
and start to accelerate toward a parked car, wall or parking structure.
• While you are at a stop, the vehicle ahead of you accelerates, but then suddenly slows
down or stops as you begin to accelerate.
This system can be turned on or off by using the Pre-Collision Braking System OFF switch
(see page 96).

Lane Departure Warning
This function provides audible and visual
warnings if you are about to depart your lane
of travel. Using the EyeSight
®camera, the
Lane Departure Warning function identifies
lane markings when traveling at speeds of
approximately 30 mph or greater. These
warnings are displayed in the Combination
Meter Display (CMD) with audible beeps. Lane
Departure 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 96).
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 96).

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.
Lead Vehicle Start Alert
This function will provide a visual and audible
alert when a stopped vehicle in front of you
begins to move, and your vehicle remains
stationary. Warnings are displayed in the
Combination Meter Display (CMD) with
audible beeps. Lead Vehicle Start Alert is
helpful in situations where you may become
temporarily distracted at a traffic light, and the
vehicle ahead begins to move.
This function can be customized. To change
this setting, use the steering wheel mounted
“i/SET” switches to access the EyeSight
®
settings menu on the CMD.

Customizing EyeSight®Settings
The EyeSight®system features customization
of certain preferences and warnings. Use the
steering wheel mounted “i/Set” and arrow
switches to navigate through the Combination

• Warning Volume: Min/Mid/Max
• Cruise Control Acceleration Characteristics:

EYESIGHT®ASSIST MONITOR (EAM)
The EyeSight®Assist Monitor (EAM) provides a
heads-up display of EyeSight®system functions in the
lower windshield area allowing you to keep your eyes
on the road ahead.
The EAM indicators can be changed using the
steering wheel mounted “i/SET” switches to access
the EyeSight
®settings menu on the Combination
Meter Display (CMD). Below are the indications provided by the EAM function:

BLIND-SPOT DETECTION (BSD)/ REAR CROSS-
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.
Rear Cross-Traffic Alert (RCTA)
This function detects a vehicle approaching from
either side as you reverse and provides audible and
visual warnings. Warnings will appear in the upper
corners of the Rear-Vision Camera display and side
mirrors, and audible beeping will sound.
BSD/RCTA can be turned on or off by pressing the
BSD/RCTA OFF switch in the instrument panel. When
this function is off, a yellow BSD/RCTA OFF indicator
will be displayed in Combination Meter.
