brake SUBARU OUTBACK 2021 Getting Started Guide

OPERATION
EyeSight®is a driver assist technology that
uses dual color cameras to serve as an extra
pair of eyes on the road ahead to identify
vehicles in front, pedestrians, traffic lanes, or
other objects. If need be, the EyeSight
®
system can apply the brakes and/or reduce
engine power to help avoid or reduce the
severity of a collision. During these events, the
system will provide audible and visual alerts to
assist you in making decisions.
Since the characteristics and limitations of the
EyeSight
®color cameras are similar to human
eyes, it is important that the cameras,
windshield, and area in front of the cameras
are treated with special care. Please refer to
“Care and Limitations” on page 120 for more
details.
FUNCTIONS
The EyeSight®system features several distinct functions designed to provide extra
awareness, improve safety, reduce fatigue, and add peace of mind every time you drive
your Subaru. EyeSight
®functions include:
• Pre-Collision Braking (PCB)
• Pre-Collision Brake Assist
• Pre-Collision Throttle Management
• Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
• Lane Sway Warning
• Lane Departure Prevention
• Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control
• Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control (AACC)
• Lane Centering
• Conventional Cruise Control
• Lead Vehicle Start Alert

Pre-Collision Braking
This function helps prevent or minimize a
frontal collision with another vehicle,
pedestrian, or other objects by providing
visual and audible warnings. Warnings are
displayed in the Combination Meter Display
(CMD) with audible beeps. If you take no
corrective action, the system automatically
reduces engine power and applies the brakes
with increasing force to help prevent or
minimize the collision.
This system can be turned on or off in the
Center Information Display (CID) (see
page 110).
Pre-Collision Brake Assist
This function recognizes a possible collision with another vehicle, a pedestrian, or object in
front while you are applying the brakes. If the system determines not enough force is
applied, it can assist by applying additional pressure to the braking system to decrease
stopping distance.
This system can be turned on or off in the Center information Display (CID) (see page 110).
Pre-Collision Throttle Management
This function is designed to help prevent you from unintentionally accelerating into a
stopped vehicle or other obstacle by reducing engine power. Warnings are displayed in the
Combination Meter Display (CMD) with audible beeps.
Pre-Collision Throttle Management is helpful when:
• You unintentionally place the select lever in the “D” position instead of the “R” position
and start to accelerate toward a parked car, wall or parking structure.
• While you are at a stop, the vehicle ahead of you accelerates, but then suddenly slows
down or stops as you begin to accelerate.
This system can be turned on or off in the Center Information Display (CID) (see page 110).
EYESIGHT
102

Lane Departure Prevention
This function provides steering assistance to
keep your Subaru in its lane of travel when
cruising on expressways, freeways, and
interstate highways. Using the EyeSight
®
camera, the Lane Departure Prevention
Function identifies lane markings when
traveling at speeds of approximately 37 mph
or greater.
Operate the Center Information Display (CID)
to turn on/off the Lane Departure Prevention
Function by selecting “All Functions” or “Lane
Departure Prevention Function Only” on the
“Lane Departure Prevention Function” screen
of the EyeSight
®settings.
As you drive the vehicle above the minimum speed, white lane marking graphics on the
CMD will indicate that right and/or left lane markings have been successfully identified by
the EyeSight
®camera.
If your Subaru is about to depart the driving lane, the system can assist the steering by
gently guiding the vehicle back into your lane. When the system is actively providing
assistance, the lane indicator on the side where the Lane Departure Prevention Function
activated changes from white to yellow.
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.
EYESIGHT

FRONT VIEW MONITOR(if equipped)
The Front View Monitor provides you with
visibility from the front grille shown in the
Center Information Display, improving visibility
when making turns with an obstructed view or
pulling into a narrow parking spot. A guide line
is also displayed to provide distance and
width references.
Press the Front View Monitor
switch on the center console to
display the Front View Monitor
image on the Center Information
Display (CID). You can manually
turn off the Front View Monitor by
pressing the Front View Monitor
switch again or with the Car
Settings icon, Home button, or
Driver Profiles icon. The function
also automatically turns off when
the select lever is shifted to “P”,
the parking brake is applied,
vehicle speed becomes 12.5 mph
or more, or 3 minutes have
passed since the last operation.
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)
This function senses if a vehicle is in your blind spot and provides a
visual warning (yellow light) in the corresponding side mirror frame.
Lane Change Assist (LCA)
Lane Change Assist (LCA) works with Blind Spot Detection to
provide an additional level of warning if you attempt to change lanes
with a vehicle in your blind spot. LCA will rapidly flash the corresponding side mirror
indicator if you operate your turn signal when a vehicle is sensed in your blind spot.

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.
REVERSE AUTOMATIC BRAKING (RAB)(if equipped)
This system uses four rear bumper mounted
sonar sensors to detect objects when moving
between 1 and 9 mph in reverse. RAB uses
the Rear-Vision Camera image to display
colored proximity alerts when an object is
detected. As an object becomes closer to the
rear of your vehicle, audible beeps provide
additional awareness in three progressive
levels. If RAB determines that a collision with
an object is possible, the system can
automatically apply the brakes to help prevent
or minimize the impact.
In some cases, such as connecting a trailer, it
may be helpful to temporarily turn the system off. RAB can be turned off using the
Touchscreen buttons on the lower corners when the select lever is in the “R” position.
Select and hold the “RAB ON” button in the lower part of the Touchscreen
until it changes to “RAB OFF” to disable the automatic braking functions of
the RAB system.
Select and hold the “P))) ON” button in the lower part of the Touchscreen until
it changes to “P))) OFF” to disable the audible beeping of the RAB system.
