Cruise control
NOTE
For models with the EyeSight system:
Refer to the Owner’s Manual supple-
ment for the EyeSight system.
Cruise control enables you to maintain a
constant vehicle speed without holding
your foot on the accelerator pedal and it is
operative when the vehicle speed is 20
mph (30 km/h) or more.
WARNING
.
Do not use the cruise control
under any of the following condi-
tions. These may cause loss of
vehicle control.
– Driving up or down a steep
grade
– Driving on slippery or winding
roads
– Driving in heavy traffic
.
When using the cruise control,
always set the speed appropri-
ately according to the speed limit,
traffic flow, road conditions, and
other conditions.
NOTE
.
On uphill and downhill slopes, de-
pending on the degree of the slope and
the load of the vehicle, there may be
cases when a constant speed cannot
be guaranteed.
.
If the cruise control indicator does
not appear even after pressing the
cruise control main button, it is possi-
ble that there is a malfunction in the
system. We recommend that you con-
tact your SUBARU dealer for an inspec-
tion.
.
Make sure the cruise control system
is turned off when the cruise control is
not in use to avoid unintentionally
setting the cruise control.

BSD/RCTA (if equipped)
The BSD/RCTA consists of rear corner
radar with Blind Spot Detection and Rear
Cross Traffic Alert.
These functions enable the system to
detect objects or vehicles to the rear,
drawing attention to the driver when
changing a lane or when driving in reverse.
WARNING
The driver is responsible for driving
safely. Always be sure to check the
surroundings with your eyes when
changing lanes or reversing the
vehicle.
The system is designed to assist the
driver in changing lanes or rever-
sing safely by monitoring the rear
and side areas of the vehicle. How-
ever, you cannot rely on this system
alone in assuring the safety during a
lane change or reversing. Overcon-
fidence in this system could result in
an accident and lead to serious
injury or death. Since the system
operation has various limitations,
the flashing or illumination of the
BSD/RCTA approach indicator light
may be delayed or it may not operate
at all even when a vehicle is present
Starting and operating/BSD/RCTA

in a neighboring lane or approach-
ing from either side.
The driver is responsible for paying
attention to the rear and side areas
of the vehicle.
&
System features
BSD/RCTA consists of the following func-
tions.
.
To detect a vehicle in a blind spot on an
adjacent lane or a vehicle approaching at
high speed while driving the vehicle (Blind
Spot Detection)
.
To detect a vehicle approaching from
the right or left while reversing the vehicle
(Rear Cross Traffic Alert)
The system uses radar sensors for the
following features.
NOTE
The BSD/RCTA radar sensor has been
certified by the radio wave related laws
of the U.S., Canada and Mexico. When
driving in other countries, certification
of the country where the vehicle is
driven must be obtained. For certifica-
tion in the U.S., Canada and Mexico,

Reverse Automatic Braking
(RAB) system (if equipped)
Reverse Automatic Braking (RAB) is a
system designed to help avoid collisions 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) is not a system intended
to replace the driver’s responsi-
bility to check surrounding areas
for vehicles or obstacles 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 become
unstable.
NOTE
The Reverse Automatic Braking (RAB)
system records and stores the follow-
ing data when automatic braking oper-
ates. It does not record conversations,
personal information or other audio
data.

Reverse Automatic Braking
(RAB) system overview
The system detects objects using sonar
sensors installed in the rear bumper. If the
system determines a possible collision
with an object in the reversing direction,
automatic deceleration will be activated.
Also, beeping sounds will activate. If the
vehicle is further reversed, automatic hard
braking will be applied and a continuous
beeping sound will activate.
