Pre-Collision Braking System
23
Continued on next page Ÿ
- When the detected object is something other than a vehicle, motorcycle,
bicycle or pedestrian• A domestic animal or other animal (a dog or deer, etc.)
• A guardrail, telephone pole, tree, fence or wall, etc.
- 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 another 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 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)

Pre-Collision Braking System
29
When there is an obstacle in the forward direction during driving, the system activates in the
following sequence in order to warn the driver, activate braking control, and active the brake
lights.
Following Distance Warning:
When the system determines that there is a risk of collision, a buzzer sounds repeated short
beeps and the indicators on the multi information display illuminate to warn the driver.
The Following Distance Warning operates when Adaptive Cruise Control is not set.
When the driver depresses the brake pedal to decelerate and achieves a suitable following
distance, the warning is canceled.
First Braking and Warning:
When the system determines that there is a high risk of collision with an obstacle in front, a
buzzer sounds repeated short beeps and the indicators on the multi information display illu-
minate to warn the driver, and braking control is activated and the engine output, in some
situations, is also controlled. If the system determines that the amount of evasive action
(braking, steering, etc.) taken by the driver has reduced the risk of collision, braking activa-
tion is canceled.
Secondary Braking and Warning:
If the system then determines that the risk of collision is extremely high, the buzzer changes
to a continuous beeping sound and stronger braking control is activated. If, despite any eva-
sive action taken by the driver, the system subsequently determines that a collision is
unavoidable, braking control and the engine output control are continued.
Even after the vehicle has stopped, depress the brake pedal.
Vehicle restart:
After the vehicle is completely stopped by the automatic braking system, brake will be
slightly released 2 seconds after vehicle stop. After sounding a short tone “beep, beep,
ding”, the vehicle starts creeping. To stop the vehicle completely, depress the brake pedal
after the vehicle has stopped.

■Pre-Collision Braking System OFF indicator light
This indicator light illuminates when the igni-
tion switch is turned to the ON position, and
remains illuminated for approximately 7 sec-
onds after the engine starts. It turns on when
the Pre-Collision Braking System is turned off.
It also illuminates under the following
conditions.
x When the EyeSight system has a
malfunction
Ÿ Refer to page 88.
x When the EyeSight system has stopped
temporarily
Ÿ Refer to page 89.
NOTE
When the Pre-Collision Braking System OFF indicator light is turned on, the
Pre-Collision Braking System (including the Pre-Collision Braking Assist
function) does not operate.

Adaptive Cruise Control
39
CAUTION
xAfter Adaptive Cruise Control has started, it maintains control continuously
according to the behavior of the vehicle in front. When your vehicle comes
to a stop if the vehicle in front has stopped, the stay-stopped function is
engaged. However, if the EyeSight stereo cameras lost detection of the
vehicle in front, the system may not stop your vehicle. Operate the brake
pedal and maintain the correct following distance as necessary. Be aware
that the EyeSight system has difficulty detecting objects or vehicles that
have a relative speed in comparison to your vehicle. Therefore, if the
EyeSight system loses detection just as you are approaching a line of
stopped cars, for example - you will have to brake manually.
x There is no possibility that the vehicle will automatically begin moving from
a stay-stopped condition without operation from the driver.
x Braking may not be sufficient depending on the following conditions. Oper-
ate the brake pedal and decelerate as necessary.
- Vehicle conditions (amount of load, number of occupants, etc.)
- Road conditions (grade, slipperiness, shape, bumps, etc.)
- Vehicle maintenance status (brake systems, tire wear, air pressure, tem- porary spare tire is being used, etc.)
- When the brakes are cold. (For example, just after the engine is started or when the outside temperature is low.)
- For a short period of time when driving after the engine is started until the engine has warmed-up
- When the brakes are overheated on downhill grades (braking effective-
ness may be reduced)
- When driving in rain or after washing the vehicle (the brakes may become wet and braking effectiveness may be reduced)
- When towing a trailer or another vehicle, etc.

Adaptive Cruise Control
50
WARNING
Do not use Adaptive Cruise Control on slippery roads. Doing so may result in
an accident.
CAUTION
When shifting the select lever to the position, Adaptive Cruise Control will
be automatically canceled. Do not shift the lever to the position unless it is
an emergency. Otherwise the engine brake may not operate, which could
cause 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 the EyeSight temporary stop indicator is displayed on
the multi information display.
Ÿ Refer to page 89.
xIf EyeSight is malfunctioning, the EyeSight warning indicator is displayed
on the multi information display, and the Pre-Collision Braking System OFF
indicator light and Lane Departure Warning OFF indicator light will also
illuminate. 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.
Ÿ Refer to page 88.
x When 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 contact a SUBARU dealer and have the system inspected.
