Starting and operating/Reverse Automatic Braking System
illuminated
. In the following cases, the Re-
verse Automatic braking system
cannot be operated.
– The
(EyeSight Temporary
Stop indicator: White) is illu-
minated, and the messages
corresponding to the
EyeSight temporary stop are
displayed on the multi infor-
mation display. For details,
refer to the Owner’s Manual
supplement for the EyeSight
system.
– The Reverse Automatic Brak-
ing system OFF indicator is
illuminated
. In the following cases, the system
may not be able to properly
detect an obstacle. Promptly con-
tact a SUBARU dealer to have the
system inspected.
– A sticker, paint, or a chemical
is applied to the rear bumper
near the sonar sensor
– The rear bumper is modified
– The rear bumper has been
removed and attached
– The ground clearance is chan-
ged due to the vehicle’s load-

ing condition or modification
– Ice, snow or mud is adhered to
the rear bumper near the so-
nar 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 rever-
sing speed is less than approxi-
mately 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 dri-
ver’s operation may be priori-
tized. In this case, automatic
braking will not operate.
The system may not be able to
detect 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 de-
signed to detect
– 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
. When reversing the vehicle, the
system may not be able to prop-
erly detect objects or may cause
a system malfunction if the fol-
lowing conditions exist
High frequency sound from other
