Braking System is operated. It does not record conversations or other
audio data.
- Stereo camera image data
- Distance from the vehicle in front
- Vehicle speed
- Steering wheel turning angle
- Lateral movement with regards to the direction of travel
- Accelerator pedal operation status
- Brake pedal operation status

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. Through operation of the electronic parking brake,
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
xThis 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 prevent rear-end collisions.
Strive for safe driving at all times. Always maintain a safe following distance
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 neces-
sary.
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.
*1
- The temporary spare tire is installed.*1
- Tires that are unevenly worn or tires with uneven wear patterns are installed.*1
- Tires that are the wrong size are installed.*1
- Flat tires have been fixed temporarily with a tire repair kit.
- The suspension has been modified (including a genuine SUBARU sus-pension that has been modified).
- Any object that disturbs the stereo cameras’ view is installed on the vehicle.
- The headlights are dirty or they have snow and ice or dirt on them. (Objects are not correctly illuminated and are difficult to detect.)
- The optical axes are not aligned correctly. (Objects are not correctly illu- minated and are difficult to detect.)
- The lights including headlights and fog lamps have been modified.
- Vehicle operation has become compromised due to an accident or malfunction.
- The brake system warning light is illuminated in red.
- A heavy cargo is loaded onto or inside the vehicle.
- The maximum number of occupants is exceeded.
- There is something wrong with the combination meter; such as when the lights do not illuminate, the beeps do not sound, the display is different
from when it is normal, etc.

*1: The wheels and tires have functions that are critically important. Be
sure to use the correct ones. For details, refer to the Owner’s Manual
for your vehicle.
*2: For details about the combination meter, refer to the Owner’s Manual for your vehicle.

■Returning to a vehicle speed that was previously set
The vehicle speed which was previously set is stored in memory.* To return to set that vehi-
cle speed, press the RES/SET switch to the RES/+. ( on the EyeSight display area illu-
minates again to indicate that the system has returned to the set status again.)
NOTE
*The vehicle speed stored in memory is erased in the following circum-
stances:

■Canceling Lane Departure Prevention Function
●
Cancellation by the operation of a driver (In case no beep sounds)
The following operation cancels Lane Departure Prevention Function.
If the function is canceled, “ ” (Lane Keep Assist indicator) and the lane indicator are
turned off on the EyeSight display area. x Press the (Lane Keep Assist) switch.
Either of the following operations temporarily cancels the Lane Departure Prevention Function.
While temporarily canceling the function, “ ” (Lane Keep Assist indicator) on the

x Operating the turn signal lever
x When the system determines that the driver operates the steering wheel to make a lane
change.
x Turning on the hazard warning flasher switch
●Automatic cancellation by the system (An audible beep will sound.)
Under the following conditions, a beep sounds and the Lane Departure Prevention Function
is temporarily canceled.
While the function is temporarily canceled, “ ” (Lane Keep Assist indicator) on the
EyeSight display area illuminates in white and the lane indicator is turned off.
x When the system cannot detect the lane.
x The windshield wiper operates at a high speed.
x The vehicle speed is less than approximately 37 MPH (60 km/h) or is more than approxi-
