Adaptive Cruise Control
Adaptive Cruise Control is a driving support system intended to allow more comfortable
driving on expressways, freeways and interstate highways. The vehicle in front in the same
traffic lane is detected by means of the stereo cameras, and your vehicle tracks the vehicle
in front (up to the maximum speed of the set vehicle speed) while automatically maintaining
a following distance that corresponds to the speed of the vehicle in front. The system uses
the vehicle’s conventional braking system to stop your vehicle when the vehicle in front is
stopped. The vehicle is capable of being controlled at a speed between approximately 0 and
90 MPH (145 km/h). Please remember that you should not exceed posted speed limits.
WARNING
x This system does not provide the driver with an automatic driving function
that handles all traffic conditions.
x Do not rely excessively on Adaptive Cruise Control. This system is not
intended to assist in driving when the driver is not paying full attention to
what is ahead of him/her due to distractions or a lack of concentration
while driving, or under conditions of poor visibility. It is not intended to pre-
vent rear-end collisions.
Strive for safe driving at all times. Always maintain a safe following dis-
tance behind the vehicle in front of you, pay attention to your surroundings
and the driving conditions, and operate the brake pedal and take other
action as necessary.
x Set the set vehicle speed within a range that is appropriate to the road con-
ditions and surrounding environment.
x Before using the system, perform a daily inspection and verify that there
are no malfunctions of the tires or brakes.
Ÿ Refer to the separate “Warranty and Maintenance Booklet”.
x The system may not operate correctly under the conditions listed below.
When these conditions occur, do not use Adaptive Cruise Control.
- The tire pressure is not correct.

Lane Keep Assist
The stereo cameras detect lane markings
(including Botts’ dots) of the lane 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.
WARNING
Lane Keep Assist is not an automatic driving system.
Do not overestimate the capabilities of Lane Keep Assist. It is not a sys-
tem to assist inattentive driving or meant to permit driving without hold-
ing the steering wheel. Make sure to grip the steering wheel while
driving. To drive safely, check the distance from the vehicle in front or
from a vehicle driving in parallel with your vehicle, the surrounding con-
ditions and the surrounding environment while driving.
If you feel that the level of control and timing by the system are different from
your own driving style, the system may not support safe driving. Do not use
Lane Keep Assist.
Lane Keep Assist does not always operate under all situations. If you rely only
on the Lane Keep Assist to stay in a lane, it may cause an accident such as a
collision with an obstacle beside your lane or with a vehicle driving in an
adjacent lane.x Check that there are problems with the tires and brakes during a daily
inspection before using the system.
* Refer to “Warranty and Maintenance Booklet”.
x The system may not operate properly under the following conditions. Do
not use Lane Keep Assist.
- The air pressure of tires is not to specification.
*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
- The wheel balance is abnormal (e.g., the balance weight is removed ormisaligned.)*1
- The wheel alignment is not adjusted within the specified value.*1
- Flat tires have been fixed temporarily with a tire repair kit.
- The suspension has been modified (including genuine SUBARU parts).
- Any object that disturbs the stereo cameras’ view is installed on the vehi-cle.
