EyeSight is a driver assist system that may not operate optimally under all driving conditions. The driver is always responsible for safe and attentive driving. System effectiveness depends on many factors such as vehicle maintenance, tire condition, and weather and road conditions. See the Owners Manual for complete details on system operation and limitations.

EyeSight Limitations*
The stereo camera lenses are precision components. When the system detects that the stereo camera lenses are dirty, no EyeSight functions will be activated.
Always observe the following precautions:
Do not touch or try to clean the EyeSight camera lenses inside the vehicle. Extra precaution should be used when cleaning the inside of the windshield. Over-spray from cleaners may impair or even damage the cameras lenses.
Do not attempt to remove or disassemble the stereo cameras.
Do not attempt to change the position where the stereo cameras are installed or modify any of the surrounding structures.
Do not install any interior rearview mirror (such as a wide-type mirror) other than a genuine SUBARU rearview mirror. Also, adjust the rearview mirror so it does not obstruct the stereo cameras. Failure to do so may affect the stereo cameras field of vision and could prevent the EyeSight system from functioning properly.
For more detailed information, please consult your EyeSight Owners Manual.
The EyeSight system needs time to recognize an object or potential obstacle. When the vehicle speed differential with an obstacle in front is greater than approximately 20 mph, it may not be possible to avoid a collision.
Sun glare, inclement weather such as heavy rain, snow or fog, or a dirty windshield will hinder EyeSight operation. A cracked windshield, oil film on the glass or reflections may impede EyeSight performance. In these conditions, EyeSight may not operate properly or EyeSight may temporarily stop operating.
EyeSight may not recognize low-contrast objects, those with regularly spaced patterns, no pattern, horizontal lines, backlit objects, very small objects (less than 3 feet tall) or non-standard shaped vehicles, such as cement mixers or car-carrier trucks.
Non-approved aftermarket vehicle accessories, such as hood protectors, and water- repellent glass coatings should not be used with EyeSight-equipped vehicles. EyeSight may not operate properly or EyeSight may temporarily stop operating.
*Please refer to the disclaimer information on the back cover.
Stereo Cameras Precautions
Standard There must be no oil film, dirt, scratch or fogging that obstructs the forward visibility of the stereo camera.
Do not stick or attach aftermarket parts on the prohibited areas shown in gray on the windshield and top of the dashboard.
Even outside the prohibited area, if the abnormal operation occurs due to the reflection of the light or the reflection on the glass, change the adhering position or installation position.
Application of stickers or antennas, installation of widetype mirror This will affect the visibility of the stereo camera, causing the function not to
operate correctly.
Placement of navigation unit, ETC or other things on the dashboard These things may be reflected on the windshield glass, affecting the recognition of the
stereo camera, thus causing the function not to operate correctly.
