Foreword
TM
Congratulations on choosing a SUBARU vehicle equipped with EyeSight
.
EyeSight incorporates the latest driver assistance features available from
SUBARU, including such features as Adaptive Cruise Control, a Lead Vehicle Start
Alert and a Lane Departure and Lane Sway Warning, all of which are designed to
assist the driver in making decisions and increase driver comfort and
convenience. Initially, the operation and use of the various EyeSight features may
be unfamiliar to you. That is why we urge you to read this manual carefully before
using EyeSight. We also recommend that you first take the time to test EyeSight in
order to experience its features for yourself so that you can become familiar with
their operation.
Please keep in mind that it is the responsibility of drivers to operate their vehicles
safely at all times. Drivers should always remain alert and should never become
complacent while operating their vehicles because of the presence of EyeSight.
EyeSight is never a substitute for active driver involvement and it may not operate
optimally under all driving conditions.
This booklet is a supplement to the Owner's Manual for your SUBARU vehicle and
contains a detailed description of EyeSight. It should be read in conjunction with
your Owner's Manual so that you will gain a thorough understanding of the proper
operation of your vehicle.
The information, specifications and illustrations found in this booklet are those in
effect at the time of printing. SUBARU CORPORATION reserves the right to
change specifications and designs at any time without prior notice and without
incurring any obligation to make the same or similar changes on vehicles
previously sold.
Please keep this booklet together with your Owner's Manual and leave it in the
vehicle at the time of resale. The next owner will need the information it contains.

  • Page 5 About EyeSight CAUTION • The characteristics of the stereo camera are similar to those of human eyes. For this reason, conditions that make it difficult for the driver to see in the for- ward direction have the same effect on the stereo camera. They also make it difficult for the system to detect vehicles, obstacles and traffic lanes.
