- Cruise control can be resumed after the transmission select lever is returned to the
position.
xA paddle shift switch is operated while driving when the transmission select lever is in the
position.
- Cruise control can be resumed after the paddle shift is not operated for a while. (The
shift position will return to the position unless S# (Sports Sharp mode) of SI-DRIVE
is selected on turbo models.)
xAny door including the driver’s door, passenger’s door or rear door is opened.
xThe driver’s seatbelt is unfastened.
xThe parking brake is engaged (when the brake warning light illuminates).
xVehicle Dynamics Control is turned off manually (VDC OFF indicator light illuminates).
- Cruise control can be used again when Vehicle Dynamics Control is turned back on.
xX mode is turned on (the X mode indicator light illuminates).
- Cruise control can be resumed after the X mode is turned off.
xEyeSight operation has temporarily stopped.
* Refer to page 77.
xEyeSight is malfunctioning (the EyeSight warning light “ ” illuminates).

WARNING
Do not use Adaptive Cruise Control on slippery roads. Doing so may result in
an accident.
CAUTION
If the selector lever is shifted to the position, the Adaptive Cruise Control
is automatically cancelled. However, do not shift the selector lever into the
position while driving except in an emergency. Doing so will eliminate the
engine’s tendency to brake the vehicle and may result in an accident.

NOTE
xIf EyeSight operation has temporarily stopped, the Pre-Collision Braking
System OFF indicator light and Lane Departure Warning OFF indicator
light illuminate, and a symbol from “E1” to “E3” is displayed on the meter
display when the main cruise control is on.
* Refer to page 77.
xAlso, a pop-up screen is displayed on the multi function display.
* Refer to page 81.
xIf EyeSight is malfunctioning, the EyeSight warning light and the Pre-
Collision Braking System OFF indicator light and Lane Departure Warning
OFF indicator light will illuminate. A pop-up screen will be displayed on the
multi function display. If this occurs, stop the vehicle in a safe location and
then turn off the engine and restart it. If the indicators remain illuminated
after restarting the engine, Adaptive Cruise Control cannot be used. This
will not interfere with ordinary driving; however the system should be
inspected by a SUBARU dealer as soon as possible.
* Refer to page 76.
xWhen the operation of Adaptive Cruise Control has been automatically
canceled, perform the set cruise control operation again after the condition
that caused the cancellation has been corrected. If the cruise control func-
tion cannot be set even after the condition has been corrected, EyeSight
may be malfunctioning. This will not interfere with ordinary driving; how-
ever the system should be inspected by a SUBARU dealer as soon as
possible.

■“Brake more” warning
The “brake more” warning is activated while Adaptive Cruise Control is tracking a lead
vehicle.
The “brake more” warning warns the driver when it determines that deceleration by current
driver braking control is insufficient.
When the ‘brake more’ function operates, the lead vehicle indicator will flash and a buzzer
will sound several short beeps. In addition, a pop-up screen will be displayed on the multi
function display (for Canada). For USA models, the warning message appears on the meter
display, above the multi function display.
When this function activates, depress the brake pedal as necessary to decelerate and
maintain a correct following distance.

WARNING
xIf the buzzer sounds frequently, do not use Adaptive Cruise Control.
xThe “brake more” warning will not activate in the following situations.
- The accelerator pedal is depressed.
- The brake pedal is depressed adequately.
xEven when the following distance is short, the “brake more” warning may
not activate in the following situations.
- The difference in speed with the vehicle in front is small. (The two vehi-
cles are travelling at almost the same speed.)
- The vehicle in front is traveling faster than your vehicle. (The following
distance is gradually increasing.)
- Another vehicle cuts into your lane very close to your vehicle.
- The vehicle in front decelerates suddenly.
- When there are repeated uphill and downhill grades
xThe “brake more” warning may not activate in time in the case of a vehicle that
is stopped at the end of a line at a toll gate, at a stop light or intersection or in
traffic congestion, or a vehicle that is moving much slower than your vehicle.

Pre-Collision Braking System
43
Pre-Collision Braking System
When there is the risk of a rear-end collision with a obstacle in front, the EyeSight system
helps to minimize or prevent a collision by warning the driver. If the driver still does not take
evasive action to avoid a collision, the brakes can be automatically applied just before the
collision in order to reduce impact damage, or if possible, prevent the collision. When the
system determines that there is a high risk of collision with an obstacle ahead, and the
driver depresses the brake pedal, the system activates braking assist. (Pre-Collision Brake
Assist)
This system can be effective not only with frontal collisions, but also with offset (right or left)
collisions. This function can be activated when the select lever is in the , or posi-
tions.
Continued on next page Ÿ
WARNING
xNever use the Pre-Collision Braking System and Pre-Collision Brake
Assist to stop your car under ordinary conditions. The Pre-Collision
Braking System cannot prevent collisions under all conditions. If the driver
relies only on the Pre-Collision Braking System for Brake operation, colli-
sions may occur.
xWhen a warning is activated, pay attention to the front of the vehicle and its
surroundings, and operate the brake pedal and/or take other actions if nec-
essary.
xThe EyeSight Pre-Collision Braking System function is primarily designed
to prevent rear-end collisions with other vehicles when possible and to
minimize damage and injuries in the event of a collision. In addition to
other vehicles, things such as motorbikes, bicycles and pedestrians can
also be treated as obstacles. However, there may be cases when detec-
tion is not possible depending on a variety of conditions*. It is highly proba-
ble that the Pre-Collision Braking System function does not work against
vehicles parked in a lateral position, oncoming vehicles, backing up vehi-
cles, small animals, infants, fences, walls, gates, etc.
xThe Pre-Collision Braking System function will operate at the point when it
determines that a collision cannot be avoided and is designed to apply
strong braking force just before a collision. The result of this varies
depending on a variety of conditions*. Because of this, performance of this
function will not always be the same.
xWhen the Pre-Collision Braking System function is activated, it will con-
tinue to operate even if the accelerator pedal is partially depressed. How-
ever, it will be canceled if the accelerator pedal is fully depressed.
xIf the driver depresses the brake pedal or turns the steering wheel, the sys-
tem may determine that this constitutes evasive action by the driver, and
the automatic braking control may not activate in order to allow the driver
full control.
xWhen the difference in speed with the obstacle in front is approximately 20
MPH (30 km/h) or more, it may not be possible to avoid a collision. Even if
the speed difference is approximately 20 MPH (30 km/h) or less, in cases
such as when another vehicle cuts in front of you, or in other cases
depending on visibility, condition of road surface and other factors*, the
function may be unable to stop the vehicle or may not activate. Pre-Colli-
sion Brake Assist may also not activate depending on the conditions* listed
below.
*Conditions
- Distance to obstacle in front of you, speed difference, proximity condi-
tions, lateral displacement (the amount of offset)
- Vehicle conditions (amount of load, number of occupants, condition of
tires, etc.)
- Road conditions (grade, slipperiness, shape, bumps, etc.)
- When visibility ahead is poor (rain, snow, fog or smoke, etc.)
- When the detected object is one of the following
• A domestic animal or other animal (a dog or deer, etc.)
• A guardrail, telephone pole, tree, fence or wall, etc.

ŸContinued from previous page
- Even if the obstacle is a motorcycle, bicycle or pedestrian, depending on
the brightness of the surroundings as well as the relative movement, and
aspect or angle of the object, there may be cases when the system can-
not detect it.
- When the system determines that operation by the driver (based on
accelerator pedal operation, braking, steering wheel angle, etc.) is
intended as evasive action
- Vehicle maintenance status (brake systems, tire wear, tire pressure,
whether a temporary spare tire is being used, etc.)
- When towing a trailer or vehicle, etc.
- When the brakes are cold due to outside temperature being low or just
after starting the engine.
- When the brakes are overheated on downhill grades (braking effective-
ness is reduced)
- When driving in rain or after washing the vehicle (the brakes are wet and
braking effectiveness is reduced)
- Recognition conditions of the stereo cameras
In particular, the function may be unable to stop the vehicle or may not
activate in the following cases.
• Bad weather (for example heavy rain, a blizzard or thick fog)
• 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,
dust or other substances to obscure the view through the windshield
• When driving at night or in a tunnel without the headlights on
• When driving at night or in a tunnel when there is a vehicle in front that
does not have its taillights on
• When approaching a motorcycle, bicycle or pedestrian at night
• When ambient light is poor in the evening or early morning
• When a vehicle, motorcycle, bicycle or pedestrian is outside the area
illuminated by the headlights
• When affected by strong light from the front (for example, sunlight at
dawn, sunset or headlight high beams, etc.)
• When there is snow, frost, dirt or dust on the windshield or it is clouded
• When fluid has not been fully wiped off the windshield during or after
washer use
• When the target cannot be correctly recognized because the stereo
cameras’ view is obstructed by water droplets from rain or the window
washer, or by the wiper blades.
• When the stereo cameras’ field of view is obstructed (for example by a
canoe on the roof of the vehicle)
• When the rear aspect of
the vehicle in front is
low, small or irregular
(the system may recog-
nize another part of the
vehicle as its rear and
will determine operation
from that)
- When there is an
empty truck or trailer
with no rear and/or
side panels on the
cargo bed
- With vehicles that
have cargo protruding
from their back ends
- With non-standard
shaped vehicles (vehicle transporters or vehicles with a sidecar
fitted, etc.)
- When the height of the vehicle is low, etc.

• When there is a wall, etc. in front of a stopped vehicle
• When there is another object near the vehicle
• When a vehicle, etc. is stopped in the lateral direction
• With vehicles that are backing up or with oncoming vehicles, etc.
• When the size and height of an obstacle is smaller than the limitations
of the stereo cameras’ recognition capability
- With small animals or children, etc.
- With pedestrians who are sitting or lying down
• When the detected
object is a fence, wall or
shutter, etc.
• When there is a wall or
door made of glass or a
mirror in front
• When the vehicle in front
suddenly swerves,
accelerates, or deceler-
ates.
• When a vehicle, motor-
cycle, bicycle or pedes-
trian cuts in from the
side or jumps out sud-
denly
• When you suddenly
change lanes and your
vehicle is immediately
behind an obstacle
• When there is a vehicle, motorbike, bicycle or pedestrian in a location
extremely close to your vehicle
• When the speed difference between your vehicle and an obstacle is 4
MPH (5 km/h) or less (As braking is performed once the obstacle is in
close proximity to your vehicle, depending on the shape and size of the
obstacle, there may be some cases when the obstacle is outside the
range of the cameras’ field of vision.)
• When driving on sharp curves, steep uphill grades or steep downhill
grades
• When driving on a bumpy or unpaved road
• When passing through the entrance or exit of a tunnel
lxFor your safety, do not test the Pre-Collision Braking System function by
yourself. There is a possibility that the vehicle will not stop or the function
will not work during the test and this may cause an unexpected accident.
xThe system may not operate correctly under the conditions listed below.
When these conditions occur, turn off the Pre-Collision Braking System.
- The tire pressure is not correct.*
- A temporary spare tire is installed.*
- Tires that are worn or have large variations in wear conditions.*
- Tires other than those of the designated size are installed.*
- Flat tires are repaired using the flat tire repair kit.
- The suspension has been modified.
- Tire chains are installed.
- The headlights are dirty or are not aligned correctly. (Objects are not cor-
rectly illuminated and are difficult to detect.)
