Reverse Automatic Braking System
7-21. Reverse Automatic
Braking System (if equipped)
S07BN
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 auto-
matically.
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 driv-
ing safely. Always be sure to
check the surroundings visually
when reversing the vehicle.
. 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 be compro-
mised.
NOTE
The Reverse Automatic Braking Sys-
tem records and stores the following
data when automatic braking operates.
It does not record conversations, per-
sonal 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 vehi-
cle 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 con-
ditions.
. The vehicle owner has given his/her
consent.
. The disclosure/provision is based
on a court order or other legally en-
forceable request.
. Data that has been modified so that
the user and vehicle cannot be identi-
fied is provided to a research institution
for statistical processing or similar
purposes.
& Reverse Automatic Braking
System overview
S07BN01
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 acti-
vate.
. If the vehicle is further reversed, auto-
matic hard braking will be applied and a
continuous beeping sound will activate.
