Emergency Stop Assist with Safe Lane Selection( if equipped)
This driving support system is intended to reduce the risk of accidents in the event that the driver can no longer operate the vehicle, for example due to a medical emergency. For models with the locator( � page 16), if the system determines that the driver is incapacitated based on steering operation, the Distraction Mitigation System etc. while you are driving on a limited access road, it slows down and then stops the vehicle *. While Lane Centering Function or Hands-Free Assist is operating, if the system does not detect steering operation or the driver’ s state for a certain period of time, or if it detects driver inattention, that the driver has fallen asleep or has unfastened the driver’ s seatbelt, or the system determines that it cannot continue using Hands-Free Assist, sounds and warning screens are used to urge the driver to operate the steering wheel while keeping their eyes on the road. If the system still cannot detect steering operation while the driver’ s eyes are on the road, it determines that the driver is incapacitated and slows down and then stops the vehicle * while continuing to urge the driver to operate the steering wheel while keeping their eyes on the road. After the vehicle has stopped, the hazard warning flashers are used to alert trailing and surrounding vehicles of the emergency situation, and all doors( including the rear gate) are automatically unlocked. The system also makes an emergency call after the vehicle has stopped.( if equipped)
� Refer to the Owner’ s Manual supplement for“ MySubaru Connected Services”.

If you are traveling in a lane other than the rightmost lane, the vehicle will attempt to move to the rightmost lane and pull onto the shoulder if possible.
