- Any object that disturbs the stereo cameras’ view is installed on the vehi-
cle.
- Tire chains are installed.
- When you feel an abnormal vibration in the steering wheel or feel the steering wheel is heavier than usual.
- The steering wheel has been replaced with parts other than genuine SUBARU parts.
- The headlights are dirty or they have snow, ice or dirt on them. (Objects are not adequately illuminated and are difficult to detect.)
- The headlights are not aligned correctly. (Objects are not adequately illu- minated and are difficult to detect.)
- The headlights and fog lamps, and other lights, have been modified.
- Vehicle operation has become compromised due to an accident or mal- function.
- The brake system warning light (red) is illuminated.
- A heavy cargo is loaded onto or inside the vehicle.
- The maximum number of occupants is exceeded.
- Your vehicle is towing a vehicle, etc.
- There is something wrong with the combination meter. For example, an indicator light or a warning light in the combination meter does not prop-
erly turn on or off, a beep does not sound, or the indication on the liquid-
crystal display is different from when it is normal.

*1: The wheels and tires have critically important functions. Be sure to
use the appropriate ones.
For details, refer to the Owner’s Manual for your vehicle.

x Lane Keep Assist is designed for use on expressways, freeways, toll
roads, interstate highways and similar limited access roads. In the follow-
ing conditions, do not use Lane Keep Assist. Doing so may result in an
accident.
- Ordinary roads (roads other than those mentioned above)
- Roads with sharp curves
- Roads with lane restric- tions or tentative lanes due
to construction work, etc.
- Old lane markings remain.
- Snow, puddles or snow melting agents remain on
the road surface.
- Cracks or constructed traces remain on the road
surface.

ŸContinued from previous page
- Frozen roads, snow-covered roads or other slippery road surfaces
The tires may spin, causing loss of control of the vehicle.
- When entering a sharp curve into an interchange or junction, or a service area, parking area, toll booth or other facilities.
- When there are changes in brightness, such as at a tunnel entrance or exit.
- When visibility is poor due to sand, smoke or water vapor blowing in the wind, or when the vehicle in front or oncoming traffic causes water,
snow, dirt or dust to obscure the view.
- When there is snow, frost, dirt or dust on the windshield or it is clouded.
- When water droplets from rain or dirt have not been fully wiped off on the windshield.
It may not be possible to detect the lane, making correct control impossi-
ble.
- When the stereo cameras’ field of view is obstructed (for example by a canoe on the roof of the vehicle).
- The stereo cameras may have difficulty detecting the objects under the following conditions and the system may not operate properly.
- When driving at night or in a tunnel without the headlights on.
- When light is poor in the evening or early morning.
- In bad weather (for example, rain or snow)
- The distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front is short, mak- ing it difficult to detect lane markings.
- When a vehicle intruded from an adjacent lane or the vehicle in front changed lanes.
- The shape of a curve in the road suddenly changes.
- Shadows of guardrails or similar objects are overlapped on the lane markings.
- When your vehicle is exposed to a strong light from the front (backlight from the sun, headlights, etc.).
- The width of a lane is narrow.
- The stereo cameras may have difficulty detecting the lane due to the per- formance of the cameras.
xThere are no lane markings or they are very worn.
x The lane markings are painted in yellow.
x It is difficult to detect lane markings because they are similar in color to
the road surface.
x The lane markings are drawn in double.
x The width of lane markings is narrow.
x The indicated lines for the area are touched to walls and poles.
- The shape of lane markings suddenly changes (entrance/exit of a curve, crank and S-shaped road, etc.).
- There is curb or side wall in the road shoulder.
- The brightness changes such as when you drive under an overpass.

Pre-Collision Throttle Management
63
Continued on next pageŸ
xIf your vehicle is trapped on a railroad crossing and you are trying to
escape by driving through the crossing gate, the stereo cameras may rec-
ognize the crossing gate as an obstacle and Pre-Collision Throttle
Management system may activate. In this case, remain calm and either
continue to depress the accelerator pedal or turn off the Pre-Collision
Throttle Management system.
Ÿ Refer to page 67.
x Pre-Collision Throttle Management may not activate depending on the fol-
lowing conditions:
- The distance between your vehicle and the obstacle, speed difference, and lateral displacement (amount of offset)
- Recognition status of the stereo cameras In particular, the function may not activate in the following cases:
xBad weather (for example heavy rain, a blizzard or thick fog)
x When visibility is poor due to sand or smoke in the air
x When light is poor in the evening, early morning, or at night
x In a dark area (indoor parking area, etc.)
x When there is an obstacle outside the area illuminated by the head-
lights
x When affected by strong light from the front (for example sunlight at
sunrise or sunset headlight beams, etc.)
x When there is snow, frost, dirt or dust on the windshield, or it is clouded
x When fluid has not been fully wiped off the windshield during or after
use of the window washer
x When obstacles cannot be correctly recognized due to water droplets
from rain or the washer, or the wiper blades obstructing the stereo
cameras’ field of view
x When the stereo cameras’ field of view is obstructed (for example by a
canoe on the roof of the vehicle)
x With low obstacles (low wall, crash barrier, low vehicle, etc.)
x When the size and height of an obstacle is smaller than the limitations
of the stereo cameras’ recognition capability
x With small animals or children.
x With pedestrians who are sitting or lying down
x When the rear portion
nearest your vehicle is
too small or too close
(such as a trailer or
oncoming vehicle) the
system may not recog-
nize the part of that
vehicle which is closest
to you.

Troubleshooting
95
EyeSight does not restart after a temporary stop.
Is the X-mode turned on?
EyeSight cannot be activated when the X-mode is turned on.
Are you driving in the rain with old wipers or is there an oily film on the windshield?
Replace the wipers with new ones, or clean the oily film off the windshield.
Are you driving in poor weather conditions with heavy rain, snow, fog, or dust? In
these cases, EyeSight may temporarily stop operating while visibility is very low.
Is your vehicle subject to sunlight from the front (sunset or sunrise, etc.) or to
bright headlights from oncoming vehicles at nighttime?
In these cases, EyeSight may temporarily stop operating.
Has the vehicle been parked in a cold or hot place? In either of these cases,
EyeSight may temporarily stop operating until the temperature increases or
decreases to a temperature at which the camera is operable.
The timing of the “brake more” warning is sometimes earlier and sometimes later
than what seems to be normal operation.
The “brake more” warning sounds when the system determines that more braking
is necessary, based on conditions such as the distance from the vehicle in front
and the difference in speed compared to it. As a result, timing may vary depend-
ing on how the brakes are applied in relation to the vehicle in front, and your rela-
tive speed to that vehicle.
When the vehicle in front has turned off the road away or the distance from the
vehicle in front has increased, acceleration is sometimes slower or faster.
Depending on the timing of when the detection of the vehicle in front is lost,
EyeSight’s ability to react may be slower, causing the start of acceleration to feel
delayed and braking time to feel longer than what seems to be normal operation.
