EYESIGHT®OVERVIEW
Your Subaru features a variety of safety
systems that are the culmination of everything
Subaru Engineers know about safety. These
systems are referred to as “Driver Assist
Technologies” and add confidence to every
trip you and your passengers take. Working
together, these systems provide enhanced
awareness, safety, and convenience in front,
to the sides, and behind your Subaru. Subaru
Driver Assist Technologies include:
• EyeSight
®Driver Assist Technology
• Rear-Vision Camera
• Pre-Collision Braking
• Front View Monitor
• Blind-Spot Detection (BSD)
• Rear Cross-Traffic Alert (RCTA)
• Reverse Automatic Braking (RAB)
• High Beam Assist (HBA)
• Lane Departure Prevention
• Steering Responsive Headlights (SRH)

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

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

Lane Centering
The stereo camera detects lane markings
(including Botts’ dots) of the lane and the lead
vehicle, and the system assists the steering
operation by working with the electric power
steering to help keep your vehicle in its lane
when driving on expressways, freeways and
interstate highways.
This function can be used by pressing the
Lane Centering switch when Advanced
Adaptive Cruise Control is activated. When
driving at speeds of 0 mph to approximately
90 mph, the system detects the lane markings
or the lead vehicle and assists you with
steering in order to keep the vehicle close to
the center of the lane.
Conventional Cruise Control
Conventional Cruise Control maintains a
constant traveling speed you set, but it does
not adapt to the other vehicles in front of you.
To activate Conventional Cruise Control, press
the Adaptive Cruise Control On/Off button to
set Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control into
standby status. Then, with Advanced Adaptive
Cruise Control in standby status, press and
hold the “Increase Distance” or “Decrease
Distance” button on the steering wheel for
approximately two seconds.
The Cruise Control indicator on the
Combination Meter Display (CMD) will change
from the Adaptive Cruise Control icon to the Conventional Cruise Control icon. Use the
accelerator to reach the desired speed, then use the RES +/SET - switch to set the vehicle
speed.

EYESIGHT®ASSIST MONITOR (EAM)
The EyeSight®Assist Monitor (EAM) provides a
heads-up display of EyeSight®system functions in the
lower windshield area allowing you to keep your eyes
on the road ahead.
The EAM indicators can be changed by selecting
“Settings”, then “Car” to access the “EyeSight
®Assist
Monitor” settings menu in the Center Information
Display. Below are the indications provided by the EAM function:

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.
