Reverse Automatic Braking (Rab) System - Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid 2022 Owner's Manual

7-16. Reverse Automatic
Braking (RAB) system

Reverse Automatic Braking (RAB) system

is a system designed to help avoid colli-
sions or reduce collision damage when
reversing the vehicle. If a wall or an
obstacle is detected in the reversing
direction, the system will notify the driver
with a warning sound and may activate the
vehicle's brakes automatically.
WARNING
. Reverse Automatic Braking
(RAB) system is not a system
intended to replace the driver's
responsibility to check surround-
ing areas for vehicles or obsta-
cles to avoid a collision.
. The driver is responsible for driv-
ing safely. Before reversing, be
sure to first depress the brake
pedal and visually check the
surroundings.
. There are some cases in which
the vehicle cannot avoid colli-
sion, because the system opera-
tion has limitations. The warning
sound or automatic braking may
be delayed or may not operate at
all even when an obstacle is
present.
. The system is not designed to
detect people (including chil-
dren), animals or other moving
objects.
. Depending on the vehicle condi-
tion or the surrounding environ-
ment, the sonar sensor's ability
to detect objects may be compro-
mised.
. Do not remove the SUBARU gen-
uine navigation and/or audio sys-
tem. If the SUBARU genuine
navigation and/or audio system
is removed, the rear view camera
image and help lines (distance
marker, dynamic guidelines and
vehicle width lines) will no longer
be displayed.
. Even if the Reverse Automatic
Braking (RAB) system and object
detection warning is ON, the
visible alert of Reverse Auto-
matic Braking (RAB) system will
not be displayed. However, the
audible alert and its function will
operate.
