CAUTION
xThe characteristics of the stereo cameras are similar to those of human
eyes. For this reason, conditions that make it difficult for the driver to see
in the forward direction have the same effect on the stereo cameras and
make it difficult for the system to detect vehicles, obstacles and traffic
lanes.
x Detection by the EyeSight system is limited to objects that are within the
range of the stereo cameras’ field of view. Also, after an object enters the
range of the cameras’ field of view, it may take some time for the system
to detect it as a controllable target and warn the driver.
x Under the conditions listed below, it will become more difficult for the sys-
tem to detect the vehicle in front, motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrians and
obstacles on the road, and lane markers. Also, EyeSight may temporarily
stop operating. However, the temporary stop will be canceled once these
conditions have improved and the vehicle is driven for a short period of
time.
- Bad weather (for example heavy rain, a blizzard or thick fog). In particu- lar, the system is more likely to temporarily stop operating when there is
an oil film adhering to the windshield, a glass coating has been applied
or old wipers are used.)
- When affected by strong light from the front (sunlight or headlight beams of oncoming traffic, etc.)
- When the front windshield washer is being used.
- The windshield has become fogged, or snow, dirt, dust or frost has adhered to it, reducing the stereo cameras’ field of view.
- The vehicle is tilted at an extreme angle due to loaded cargo or other factors.
- 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 or
other substances to obscure the view
- When the stereo cameras’ field of view is obstructed (for example by a canoe on the roof of the vehicle)

Low objects surrounding the vehicle
cannot be detected.

xDo not install any accessories other than the ones designated by SUBARU on
the prohibited areas shown in the illustrations (grey zones).
Even if some accessories are installed on the outside of the prohibited areas,
abnormal operation of EyeSight may occur due to the reflection of the light or
any objects. In this situation, move the accessories. For details, contact a
SUBARU dealer.

x Do not place any objects on top of the instrument panel. The stereo cameras
may not be able to detect objects accurately and the EyeSight system may not
function properly due to reflections in the front windshield. For details, contact a
SUBARU dealer.
x If the top of the instrument panel is polished with chemicals or other sub-
stances, the stereo cameras may not be able to detect objects accurately and
the EyeSight system may not operate properly due to reflections in the front
windshield.
x Do not install any wiper blades other than genuine SUBARU wiper blades.
Doing so may affect the stereo cameras’ field of view and could prevent the
EyeSight system from functioning properly.
x Replace damaged wiper blades as soon as possible. The stereo cameras may
not be able to detect objects accurately and the EyeSight system may not func-
tion properly due to liquid remaining on the windshield.
x Do not install any accessories
on the front side such as on the
hood or the grille. It may affect
the camera view and the system
may not operate correctly.
x Make sure that the cargo loaded
on the roof does not obstruct or
interfere in the stereo cameras’
field of view. Obstructing the
stereo cameras’ view may
impair the system operation. For
details, contact a SUBARU
dealer.

Pre-Collision Braking System
22
ŸContinued from previous page
xWhen the stereo cameras’ field of view is obstructed (for example by a
canoe on the roof of the vehicle)
x 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.
x When there is a wall, etc. in front of a stopped vehicle
x When there is another object near the vehicle
x When a vehicle, etc. has it’s side facing you.
x With vehicles that are backing up or with oncoming vehicles, etc.
x 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
x When the detected
object is a fence or wall,
etc. with a uniform pat-
tern (a striped pattern or
brick pattern, etc.)
x When there is a wall or
door made of glass or a
mirror in front
x When the vehicle in front
suddenly swerves, accel-
erates, or decelerates.
x When a vehicle, motor-
cycle, bicycle or pedes-
trian suddenly cuts in
from the side or sud-
denly runs in front of you.

Adaptive Cruise Control
34
ŸContinued from previous page
- When water droplets from rain or the window washer, or dirt has not
been fully wiped off the windshield
It may not be possible to detect the vehicle in front, making correct con-
trol impossible.
- When the stereo cameras’ field of view is obstructed (for example by a canoe on the roof of the vehicle)
x The stereo cameras may have difficulty detecting the following objects or
conditions. Operate the brake pedal and take other actions as necessary.
- Vehicles at significantly different speeds (vehicles driving slowly, stopped or oncoming vehicles, etc.)
- Vehicles cutting into your lane
- Motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrians and animals, etc.
- When light is poor in the evening or early morning
- 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 affected by strong light from the front (sunlight or headlight high beams, etc.)
- Vehicles in front that have a rear aspect that is low,
small or irregular (the sys-
tem may recognize
another part of the vehicle
and will determine opera-
tion from that)
xAn empty truck or trailer
that has no cargo in the
cargo bed being affected
by wind
x Vehicles that have cargo
protruding from their
back ends
x Non-standard shaped vehicles (vehicle transporters or vehicles with a
sidecar fitted, etc.)
x Vehicles that are low
- Objects that are located close to the bumper of your vehicle
x When you do not want to use Adaptive Cruise Control, be sure to turn the
(CRUISE) switch off. If the switch is left on, cruise control may be
accidentally engaged, possibly resulting in an accident.
x Before using Adaptive Cruise Control, be sure to fully verify the safety of
the vehicle occupants and the area around the vehicle. Never operate the
cruise control from outside the vehicle.

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.)

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
