Driver Monitoring System
. There are cases when the system
concludes that the user’s eyes are
closed when the user is looking down-
ward during driving, such as when
checking instruments or the navigation
screen. In such cases, the drowsy
driving warning buzzer may sound or
the system may otherwise not operate
correctly.
. If the eyes are narrowed when laugh-
ing or when there is a dazzling outside
light, the system may judge that the
eyes are closed and the drowsy driving
warning buzzer may sound or the
system may otherwise not operate
correctly.
. The drowsy driving or asleep warn-
ing states are recognized from the
length of time and percentage of time
that the eyes are closed. The drowsy
driving warning buzzer will not sound
simply when the driver feels sleepy or
yawns.
. Even when the driver does not feel
sleepy, if his or her eyes are closed or if
he or she blinks frequently, the drowsy
driving warning buzzer may sound.
. The inattentive driving warning buz-
zer may sound if the driver leans
forward or puts his or her head out of
the window while driving.
. The inattentive driving warning buz-
zer will not sound when the vehicle is
stopped or travelling at slow speed
even if the driver is not looking ahead.
. The Driver Monitoring System col-
lects and stores data regarding drivers’
facial features. Facial recognition data
is stored locally and does not leave the
vehicle. It is not transmitted to or stored
by SUBARU or anyone else. The Driver
Monitoring System may be disabled
and any stored driver data may be
deleted by following the instructions
below. If the Driver Monitoring System
is disabled, it will be unable to provide
any of its safety or convenience func-
tions.
source (LED), correct detection may
not be possible. If there is condensa-
tion on these parts, wipe it away with a
soft dry cloth.
. When registering a user for user
recognition, avoid closing your eyes
as much as possible.
. If the user recognition success rate
is low, it is possible that the user is not
correctly registered. Delete the regis-
tered data and perform registration
again.
. If a user frequently drives both with
glasses and contact lenses, it is re-
commended that registration be per-
formed both when wearing glasses and
when wearing contact lenses.
. User recognition starts immediately
after entering the vehicle, however if
the user looks downward or at the
driver side mirror for a long time, the
user may not be recognized.
. When one person among twins or
another pair of persons with similar
facial features is registered, the other
person may be incorrectly recognized
as the registered user when entering
the vehicle.
. If the person in the passenger’s seat
leans into the driver’s seat, or in other
cases when there are two or more faces
near the driver’s seat, the system may
not operate correctly.
