Adaptive Cruise Control
Functions of Adaptive Cruise Control
When there is no vehicle in front in the same lane, the vehicle drives constantly at the set
vehicle speed. When there is a vehicle in front in the same lane, the vehicle tracks the vehicle in front up to the maximum set vehicle speed. When the vehicle stops because the vehicle in front has stopped, the automatic braking function will be cancelled immediately after
stopping and the vehicle will start creeping forward gradually. The vehicle is capable of
being controlled at a speed between approximately 0 and 90 MPH (145 km/h). Please
remember that you should not exceed posted speed limits.
■ “Brake more” warning
When the system determines that braking applied by Adaptive Cruise Control will be insufficient, a buzzer will sound and an indicator in the meter display will illuminate to warn the
driver.
Also, a pop-up screen will be displayed in the multi function display.
* Refer to page 42.
CAUTION
If the driver operates the brake pedal during automatic braking, the pedal
may feel stiff; however, this is not a malfunction. By depressing the brake
pedal further you can apply more braking force. When the brake pedal is
released it will return to its original condition.
NOTE
Vehicles in front in the same traffic lane are detected by the stereo cameras within a distance of approximately 265 ft (80 m) in the forward direction. However the detection distance may be reduced depending on the
traffic environment, driving conditions, and conditions of the vehicle in
front.
Changing the SI-DRIVE mode allows adaptive cruise control to track the
vehicle in front utilizing the characteristics of each mode.
When driving on a curve, the vehicle may not accelerate, or may decelerate, even if the set speed is higher than the current vehicle speed.
If the
(Adaptive Cruise Control) is not displayed when the
(CRUISE) switch is pressed, there may be a malfunction in the system.
Contact a SUBARU dealer and have the system inspected.
Some noises may be audible during automatic braking. This is caused by
the braking control and does not indicate a malfunction.
