STARTING AND OPERATING 401 cannot be operated.
– The( EyeSight Temporary Stop indicator: White) is illuminated, and the messages corresponding to the EyeSight temporary stop are displayed on the combination meter display( color LCD). For details, refer to the Owner’ s Manual supplement for the EyeSight system. – The RAB OFF indicator is illuminated.. In the following cases, the functions may not be able to properly work. Promptly contact a SUBARU dealer to have the system inspected.
– A sticker, paint, or a chemical is applied to the sonar sensors or the
rear bumper near the sonar sensor. – The rear bumper is modified. – The rear bumper has been removed and attached. – The ground clearance is changed
due to the vehicle’ s loading condition or modification. – There is damage to the sonar
sensors or the rear bumper near
the sonar sensor. – The rear bumper is exposed to
strong impact, or the rear bumper is deformed.
. On a steep hill, the system’ s automatic braking ability will be reduced.
. The system is designed to avoid collisions by automatic hard braking when the vehicle’ s reversing speed is less than approximately 3 mph( 5 km / h). However, the system does not guarantee that the vehicle will be able to avoid collisions in any situation.
. If the vehicle is reversed at an extremely slow speed, the driver’ s operation may be prioritized. In this case, automatic braking will not operate.
. The system may not be able to detect and apply the brake with the following objects.
– Sharp or thin objects such as poles, fences and ropes which may not reflect the sound wave emitted
from the sonar sensor. – Objects that are too close to the
rear bumper when the select lever
is set to the“ R” position. – Objects with a surface which may
not reflect the sound wave emitted from the sonar sensor such as a chain link fence.
. Objects the system is not designed to detect and apply brake.
– Pedestrians. – Moving objects including moving
vehicles. – Objects which absorbs sound
waves such as cloth or snow. – Objects whose surface has a diagonal angle. – Objects that are low to the ground
such as parking blocks. – Objects that are high above the
ground such as objects hanging
from above. – Objects that are out of range of the
center of the vehicle in the horizontal direction. – Objects that are not perpendicular
to the ground. – The surface of the object is uneven
or wavy.
. When reversing the vehicle, the functions may not be able to work properly or may cause a system malfunction if the following conditions exist.
High frequency sound from other sources are nearby:
– Horn sound from another vehicle. – Engine sound from other vehicles. – Sound of an air brake. – Vehicle detection equipment or a
sonar from another vehicle. – A sound wave with a frequency
similar to the vehicle’ s system is
transmitted near by. – A vehicle equipped with the same
system is reversing toward your reversing direction. Weather conditions:
– Extremely high or extremely low temperatures in which the area near the sonar sensor becomes
too hot or too cold to operate. – The sonar sensors or the rear
bumper near the sonar sensors are exposed to heavy rain or a sig-
