Starting and operating/Reverse Automatic Braking System
NOTE
. To ensure correct operation of the
BSD/RCTA, observe the following precautions.
– Always keep the bumper surface
near the radar sensors clean.
– Do not affix any stickers or other
items on the bumper surface near
the radar sensors.
– Do not modify the bumper near
the radar sensors.
– Do not paint the bumper near the
radar sensors.
– Do not expose the bumper near
the radar sensors to strong impacts. If a sensor becomes misaligned, a system malfunction may
occur, including the inability to
detect vehicles entering the detection areas. If any strong shock is
applied to the bumper, be sure to
contact your SUBARU dealer for
inspection.
– Do not disassemble the radar
sensors.
. If the radar sensors require repair or
replacement, or the bumper area
around the radar sensors requires
repair, paintwork or replacement, contact your SUBARU dealer for assistance.
Reverse Automatic Braking
System (if equipped)
Reverse Automatic Braking 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 is not
a system intended to replace the
driver’s responsibility to check
surrounding areas for vehicles or
obstacles to avoid a collision.
. The driver is responsible for
driving safely. Always be sure to
check the surroundings visually
when reversing the vehicle.
. Since the system operation has
various limitations, the warning
sound or automatic braking may
be delayed or may not operate at
all even when an obstacle is
present in the reversing direction.
. The system is not designed to
detect people (including children), animals or other moving
objects.
. Depending on the vehicle condition or the surrounding environment, the sonar sensor’s ability
to detect objects may become
unstable.
NOTE
The Reverse Automatic Braking System records and stores the following
data when automatic braking operates.
It does not record conversations, personal information or other audio data.
. Distance from the object
. Vehicle speed
. Accelerator pedal operation status
. Brake pedal operation status
. Select lever position
. Outside temperature
. The sensitivity setting of the sonar
sensors
SUBARU and third parties contracted by SUBARU may acquire
and use the recorded data for the
purpose of vehicle research and
development. SUBARU and third
parties contracted by SUBARU will
not disclose or provide the acquired
