Troubleshooting

Adaptive Cruise Control cannot be activated.

• Did you remember to press the (CRUISE) switch?
  • If you have not pressed the (CRUISE) switch, (Adaptive Cruise Control indicator) will not be shown.
• Is EyeSight operation temporarily stopped?
  • When EyeSight is temporarily stopped, (EyeSight temporary stop indicator: White) is displayed on the combination meter display. Set Adaptive Cruise Control again after the cause for the temporary stop has been corrected.
• Is (READY indicator) displayed?
  • Adaptive Cruise Control cannot be activated when (READY indicator) is not displayed. Set Adaptive Cruise Control when (READY indicator) is displayed.

READY indicator) is not displayed.

• Are the requirements for setting cruise control met?
  • For the conditions of (READY indicator) illumination, refer to the following pages.
    • (Adaptive Cruise Control)
    • (Conventional Cruise Control)

A vehicle (in front of your vehicle) is not detected, detection is delayed or detection is lost quickly.

• Is the vehicle in front stopped, moving slowly relative to your vehicle or moving extremely slowly?
  • Detection of stopped vehicles, vehicle moving slowly relative to your vehicle, and vehicles moving extremely slowly may be difficult.
• Is the windshield dirty or fogged?
  • If the windshield is dirty or fogged, it may not be possible to detect object or vehicles. Clean off the dirt or fog from the windshield, and then try using the system again.
• Is the vehicle in front far away?
  • The maximum detection distance of EyeSight’s stereo camera is approximately 360 ft (110 m). Detection is not possible if the vehicle is farther away.
• Is the vehicle on a curve?
  • The detection range is limited in the horizontal directions when the stereo camera is properly aimed.
• Is the vehicle on a road with repeated uphill and downhill grades (such as an overpass), or on a banked road?
  • The detection range is limited in the vertical directions.
• Did the vehicle detected in front change?
  • Detection may be delayed after the vehicle in front has changed.
• Have water, snow or other substances been kicked up by the vehicle in front as it drives?
  • When water or snow have been kicked up, it may not be possible to detect the vehicle in front.

Adaptive Cruise Control is activated even though there is no vehicle in front detected.

• Is there a vehicle in the neighboring lane?
  • Depending on the road conditions, vehicles in neighboring lanes may be detected as well as a vehicle directly in front.
• Are you driving on or near a curve?
  • When driving on a curve, braking control may be activated in response to guardrails, the angle of the steering wheel, or roadside structures.

Lead Vehicle Start Alert activates, even though there is no vehicle in front.

• Depending on surrounding objects, traffic environment and weather, Lead Vehicle Start Alert may issue a warning in response to objects other than a vehicle that appears in front of your vehicle.

EyeSight does not restart after a temporary stop.

• Are you driving in the rain with poorly performing wipers or is there a smear on the windshield?
  • Replace the wipers with new ones, or clean the smear off the windshield. Are you driving in poor weather conditions with heavy rain, snow, fog, or dust?
    • In these cases, EyeSight may temporarily stop operating while visibility is very poor.
• Is your vehicle subject to sunlight from the front (sunset or sunrise, etc.) or to bright headlights from oncoming vehicles at nighttime?
  • In these cases, EyeSight may temporarily stop operating.
• Are you parking in an extremely hot or cold condition?
  • In either of these cases, EyeSight may temporarily stop operating until the temperature increases or decreases to a temperature at which the camera is operable.

The timing of the “Obstacle Detected” warning is sometimes earlier or sometimes later than what seems to be normal operation.

• The “Obstacle Detected” warning sounds when the system determines that more braking is necessary, based on conditions such as the distance from the vehicle in front and the difference in speed compared to it. As a result, timing may vary depending on how the brakes are applied in relation to the vehicle in front, and your relative speed to that vehicle

When the vehicle in front has turned off the roadway or the distance from the vehicle in front has increased, acceleration is sometimes slower or faster.

• Depending on the timing of when the detection of the vehicle in front is lost,

EyeSight’s ability to react may be slower, causing the start of acceleration to feel delayed and braking time to feel longer than what seems to be normal operation.

• What acceleration level did you select for cruise contrcontrocontrol?
  • Acceleration may vary because the cruise control characteristics vary depending on the selected mode.

Cruise control is canceled automatically.

• Did you perform one of the following operations?
  • (Adaptive Cruise Control)
  • (Conventional Cruise Control)
• Has the EyeSight system temporarily stopped while the Adaptive Cruise Control function was in use?

Lane Centering Function does not activate even though the (Lane Keep Assist) switch is pressed.

• Is Adaptive Cruise Control activated?
  • Lane Centering Function activates only when Adaptive Cruise Control is activated.
• Is Lane Centering Function turned on in the customizing functions?
  • Lane Departure Prevention Function activates when Lane Centering Function is set to off in the customizing functions.

Lane Centering Function and Lane Departure Prevention Function were unexpectedly canceled.

• Did you take your hands off the steering wheel? Did you just lightly put your hands on the steering wheel while driving?
  • If the system does not detect the steering operation of the driver, it will temporarily cancel Lane Centering Function and Lane Departure Prevention Function.
• Did you turn a tight corner?
  • Lane Centering Function and Lane Departure Prevention Function do not operate while turning a tight corner.
• Did you perform one of the following operations?
  • (Lane Centering Function)
  • (Lane Departure Prevention Function)

Lane Centering Function and Lane Departure Prevention Function do not operate even though there are lane markers.

• Is the width of the road too narrow or too wide?
  • To operate Lane Centering Function and Lane Departure Prevention Function, the width of the road should be between approximately 10 ft (3 m) and 15 ft (4.5 m).

A lead vehicle is driving ahead of my vehicle and the lead vehicle indicator is illuminated, however Lane Centering Function does not activate.

• Is the width of the lead vehicle too narrow?
  • Lane Centering Function does not activate when the lead vehicle is a motorcycle or another 2-wheeled vehicle, super-compact car, or other narrow vehicle.
• Is there a speed difference between the lead vehicle and your vehicle? Or is the lead vehicle not directly in front of your vehicle?
  • Lane Centering Function may not activate in conditions such as when there is a speed difference between the lead vehicle and your vehicle (the lead vehicle is pulling away), or when the lead vehicle is meandering or driving at the edge of the lane.

When Lane Centering Function is active, the interruption screen “Keep Hands On Steering Wheel” appears on the combination meter display in spite of gripping the steering wheel.

• The system may not be detecting any steering operation even though you are gripping the steering wheel. Operate the steering wheel until the interruption screen disappears. If the system continues to not detect any operation, Lane Centering Function may be canceled.
• If the vehicle is likely to depart the lane when Lane Centering Function is active, “Keep Hands On Steering Wheel” will be displayed. If Lane Centering Function is canceled in this state, “OFF” will be displayed.

A noise occurs when automatic braking control activates.

• This is the sound of the automatic braking control operating - there are some mechanical components to the system, and they do occasionally make audible sounds during automatic braking control. This does not indicate a malfunction.

Braking control activates frequently when driving with Adaptive Cruise Control in heavy traffic.

• When Adaptive Cruise Control is activated, the EyeSight system performs control based on the movement of vehicles or objects in front. As a result, acceleration and deceleration may be more frequent while the system adjusts to vehicles or objects the camera system is detecting. If it is difficult to maintain a consistent following distance under certain conditions (such as in heavy traffic, poor weather or urban environments, etc.), do not use Adaptive Cruise Control.

The electronic parking brake is applied automatically while the stay-stopped function is operating.

• The electronic parking brake will be applied in the following cases.
  • The stay-stopped function is continuously applied for approximately 2 minutes.
  • Automatic cancel conditions have been met.

The engine is stopped while the stay-stopped function of Adaptive Cruise Control engages.

• Does the Auto Start Stop indicator (green) illuminate?
  • This engine stop occurs as a result of the operation of the Auto Start Stop system. It does not indicate a malfunction.

The Auto Start Stop system does not stop the engine while the stay-stopped function of Adaptive Cruise Control is engaged.

• For information about the operation conditions of the Auto Start Stop system, refer to the Owner’s Manual for your vehicle.

The engine does not restart after it has been automatically stopped while the stay stopped function of Adaptive Cruise Control has been engaged.

• Does the Auto Start Stop warning indicator illuminate?
  • If the warning indicator illuminates, shift the select lever to the “P” position and start the engine with the brake pedal depressed.
  • If the warning light does not turn off after the engine starts, immediately contact a SUBARU dealer to have the system inspected.
