Pre-Collision Braking System - Subaru BRZ Eyesight 2022 Owner's Manual

Pre-Collision Braking System

When there is the risk of a rear-end collision with an obstacle or pedestrian in front, the
EyeSight system helps to prevent or minimize a collision by warning the driver. If the driver
still does not take evasive action to avoid a collision, the brakes can be automatically
applied just before the collision in order to reduce impact damage, or if possible, prevent the
collision. If the driver takes evasive action to avoid a collision, Pre-Collision Braking Assist
will operate in order to help the driver to prevent or minimize the collision.
This function can be activated when the select lever is in the "D", "M" or "N" position.
• Never use Pre-Collision Braking System and Pre-Collision Braking Assist to
stop your car or avoid a collision under ordinary conditions. These functions
cannot prevent collisions under all conditions. If the driver relies only on Pre-
Collision Braking System for Brake operation, collisions may occur.
• When a warning is activated, pay attention to the front of the vehicle and its
surroundings, and operate the brake pedal and/or take other actions if neces-
sary.
• The EyeSight Pre-Collision Braking System is primarily designed to prevent
rear-end collisions with other vehicles when possible or to minimize damage
and injuries in the event of a collision. In addition to other vehicles, things
such as motorbikes, bicycles and pedestrians can also be treated as obsta-
cles. However, there may be cases when detection is not possible depending
on a variety of conditions
side, oncoming vehicle, vehicles approaching in reverse, small animals or
children, or walls or doors are not likely to be detected.
• Pre-Collision Braking System will operate at the point when it determines that
a collision cannot be avoided and is designed to apply strong braking force
just before a collision. The result of this varies depending on a variety of con-

ditions . Because of this, performance of this function will not always be the
same.
• When Pre-Collision Braking System is activated, it will continue to operate
even if the accelerator pedal is partially depressed. However, it will be can-
celed if the accelerator pedal is suddenly or fully depressed.
• If the driver depresses the brake pedal or turns the steering wheel, the system
may determine that this constitutes evasive action by the driver, and the auto-
matic braking control may not activate in order to allow the driver full control.
