X-MODE®(if equipped)
X-MODE®is the integrated control system of the
engine, All Wheel Drive, and Vehicle Dynamics Control
(VDC) systems for driving with bad road conditions.
Using X-MODE
®, you can drive more comfortably
even in slippery road conditions,
such as mud or snow, including
uphill and downhill. You can
activate the system when the
vehicle speed is less than
12 mph. If the vehicle speed
reaches 25 mph, the X-MODE
®
system is canceled and can be
reactivated once the once the
vehicle speed is lower.
X-MODE®Standard System
To activate the X-MODE®system, press the X-MODE®switch. While the system is active, the
X-MODE®indicator appears, and the Multi-Function Display shows steering direction, vehicle
angle, and power distribution. To deactivate X-MODE®press the X-MODE®switch again.
In certain situations, such as navigating a vehicle stuck in mud or snow, it may be helpful
to allow more wheel spin by turning off the VDC system. To turn off the VDC system, push
the Vehicle Dynamics Control OFF switch located on the lower left console. Push the
Vehicle Dynamics Control OFF switch again to reactivate the VDC system.
X-MODE®Dual Mode System (Sport)
To activate the X-MODE®system, press the X-MODE®switch once to select SNOW/DIRT
and again to select D. SNOW/MUD. While the system is active, the X-MODE®indicator
appears, and the Multi-Function Display shows steering direction, vehicle angle, and
power distribution. To deactivate X-MODE
®, press the X-MODE®switch a third time.
• SNOW/DIRT is suitable for driving on slippery road surfaces such as snow or gravel,
where the points of contact between the tires and road surface are visible.
• D.SNOW/MUD provides maximum torque from the engine and the optimal amount of
slip in the driving wheels, enabling the vehicle to free itself more effectively. It is suitable
for driving on a roads where the tires can become buried, such as deep snow, dry sand,
or muddy roads.

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
humans, 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 90 for more
details.

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,
then press and hold the “Increase Distance” or
“Decrease Distance” buttons 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.
