Starting and operating / Reverse Automatic Braking System
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 data to any other third party except under the following conditions. – The vehicle owner has given his / her consent. – The disclosure / provision is based on a court order or other legally enforceable request. – Data that has been modified so that the user and vehicle cannot be identified is provided to a research institution for statistical processing or similar purposes.
& Reverse Automatic Braking 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.
! Detecting range
1) Detecting range( width): Approximately 6 in( 15 cm) outside of the vehicle width
2) Range that the system cannot detect: Approximately 20 in( 50 cm) behind the rear of the vehicle
3) Detecting range( length): Approximately 5 ft( 1.5 m) from the rear of the vehicle
WARNING
If your vehicle is trapped on a railroad crossing and you are trying to escape by reversing through the crossing gate, the system may recognize the crossing gate as an obstacle and the brakes may activate. In this case, remain calm and either continue to depress the accelerator pedal or cancel the system.
