7-58 Starting and operating/Reverse Automatic Braking System NOTE If the radar sensors require repair or replacement, or the bumper area around the radar sensors requires repair, paintwork or replacement, con- tact your SUBARU dealer for assis- tance. 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 their surroundings 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. . 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 direc- tion. . 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 become unstable. 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
