SI-DRIVE(if equipped)
Subaru Intelligent Drive (SI-Drive) has
2 modes: Intelligent (I) and Sport Sharp (S#).
Each mode is designed for different types of
driving:
Intelligent:
The Intelligent (I) mode provides well balanced
performance with greater fuel efficiency and
smooth driveability without stress. Power
delivery is moderate during acceleration for maximum fuel efficiency.
Sport Sharp:
The Sport Sharp (S#) mode offers an exhilarating level of engine performance and control.
The throttle becomes more responsive regardless of the engine speed. Delivering
maximum driving enjoyment, this mode is ideal for driving on twisting roads and for
merging or overtaking other vehicles on the freeway with confidence.
AUTO START–STOP
The Auto Start-Stop system is designed to automatically stop and
restart the engine when the vehicle is stationary for a short period of
time (while waiting for a traffic light or in a traffic jam) after the
engine has warmed up. The system operates in order to reduce fuel
consumption, exhaust emissions and undesired idling noise. You
can learn more about using the Auto Start-Stop system from the
how-to video linked in the QR code and from the sections below.

Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering
Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control is a driving support system intended to reduce the
burden on you when driving on an expressway (including during congestion and when
driving at high speed). Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Centering work
together to assist you by automatically controlling the accelerator, brake, and steering.
Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control
This system provides cruise control with the
ability to keep a safe distance from the car in
front of you. Using the EyeSight
®camera, the
Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control function
identifies vehicles in front of you in the same
lane, and your vehicle follows the vehicle in
front (up to the maximum of your set speed).
While following, your vehicle will automatically
maintain a following distance that
corresponds to the speed of the vehicle in
front. The vehicle is capable of being
controlled at a speed between 0 mph and
approximately 90 mph.
You can turn the Advanced Adaptive Cruise
Control on or off using the Adaptive Cruise
Control On/Off button on the right side of the steering wheel (see page 98). Once the
system is turned on, a white Adaptive Cruise Control icon will be displayed on the
Combination Meter Display (CMD). When all the operational conditions are met, “READY”
appears underneath the Adaptive Cruise Control icon.
To set Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control, push down the “SET/–” switch on the right side
of the steering wheel. The CMD will indicate a target speed and the icon will turn green.
This speed can be adjusted up or down using the “RES/SET” switch (see page 98).
When a vehicle in front of you is identified, a Lead Vehicle icon will be displayed on the
Combination Meter Display (CMD). You can change the desired following distance from the
lead vehicle by pressing the “Increase Distance” or “Decrease Distance” buttons (see
page 98).

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)
Blind Spot Detection senses if a vehicle is traveling at the same
relative speed in your blind spot and provides a visual warning. If
the system detects a vehicle in your blind spot, the BSD/RCTA
approach indicator light in the corresponding side mirror frame
illuminates. If you operate the turn signal lever in the direction the
BSD/RCTA approach indicator light is illuminated, the system provides an additional level
of warning by rapidly flashing the BSD/RCTA approach indicator light.
Lane Change Assist (LCA)
Lane Change Assist (LCA) provides an additional level of protection by warning you of
rapidly approaching vehicles in the neighboring lanes. If LCA detects a vehicle
approaching at a high speed in the neighboring lanes, the BSD/RCTA approach indicator
light in the corresponding side mirror frame illuminates. If you operate the turn signal lever
in the direction the BSD/RCTA approach indicator light is illuminated, the system rapidly
flashes the BSD/RCTA approach indicator light.
DRIVER ASSIST TECHNOLOGIES
103

HIGH BEAM ASSIST (HBA)
This function uses the EyeSight®cameras to automatically switch
the headlights between high and low beam settings, enhancing
safety for both you and other drivers on the road. To activate High
Beam Assist, set the headlight control switch to the “AUTO”
position and push the headlight lever forward to the high beam
position. The green HBA indicator illuminates on the Combination
Meter.
HBA automatically activates the high beams when the forward area is dark, there are no
preceding/oncoming vehicles or sharp curves in the road, and your speed is approximately
20 mph or greater. When an preceding/oncoming vehicle is detected, the forward area is
bright, your speed decreases to 10 mph or less, or the EyeSight
®system is malfunctioning
or is temporarily stopped, HBA automatically switches to low beams.
STEERING RESPONSIVE HEADLIGHTS (SRH)
The Steering Responsive Headlights (SRH) system aims the headlight beams in the
direction you are steering, improving visibility at corners and intersections when driving at
night. You can turn the SRH system on or off in the Center Information Display through the
“Car Settings” icon.

EYESIGHT®DISCLAIMER
EyeSight®is a driver assist technology which may not operate optimally under all driving
conditions. The driver is always responsible for safe and attentive driving. System
effectiveness depends on many factors such as vehicle maintenance, weather and road
conditions. See Owner’s Manual for complete details on system operations and limitations.
The Pre-Collision Braking system is designed to provide automatic braking that either
prevents a collision or reduces the severity of a frontal impact.
The Pre-Collision Throttle Management system is designed to reduce acceleration and
minimize the severity of certain frontal impacts.
Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control and Brake Light Recognition are designed to assist the
driver and are not substitutes for safe and attentive driving.
Lane Centering function operates only when used in conjunction with Advanced Adaptive
Cruise Control.
Lane Departure Prevention operates only when the lane markings are visible, and system
effectiveness depends on many factors.
Blind-Spot Detection, Lane Change Assist and Rear Cross Traffic Alert are systems
designed to assist the driver by monitoring the rear and side areas of the vehicle during a
lane change or reversing and are not a substitute for safe and attentive driving.
The Reverse Automatic Braking System is not a substitute for safe and attentive driving.
System effectiveness depends on many factors, such as vehicle maintenance, weather
and road conditions. Always exercise caution and use vehicle mirrors and the Rear-Vision
Camera when backing up. See Owner’s Manual for complete details on system operation
and limitations.
The Driver Focus Distraction Mitigation System is a driver recognition technology designed
to alert drivers if their attention to the road wavers or if the driver’s face appears to turn
away. The driver is always responsible for safe and attentive driving. System effectiveness
may be affected by articles of clothing worn on the head or face. See Owner’s Manual for
complete details on system operation and limitations.
