in a neighboring lane or approach-
ing from either side.

The driver is responsible for paying
attention to the rear and side areas
of the vehicle.

System features

BSD/RCTA consists of the following func-
tions.
.

To detect a vehicle in a blind spot on an

adjacent lane or a vehicle approaching at
high speed while driving the vehicle (Blind
Spot Detection)
.

To detect a vehicle approaching from

the right or left while reversing the vehicle
(Rear Cross Traffic Alert)

The system uses radar sensors for the
following features.

NOTE

The BSD/RCTA radar sensor has been
certified by the radio wave related laws
of the U.S. and Canada. When driving in
other countries, certification of the
country where the vehicle is driven
must be obtained. For certification in
the U.S. and Canada, refer to “Certifica-
tion for the BSD/RCTA” F7-56.

Blind Spot Detection (BSD)

Operating range

The system notifies the driver of the
presence of vehicles in its blind spot.
.

If the system detects a vehicle in its

blind spot, it warns the driver by illuminat-
ing the BSD/RCTA approach indicator light
(s) on the outside mirror(s).
.

If the driver operates the turn signal

lever in the direction where the BSD/RCTA
approach indicator light is illuminating, the
system warns the driver of dangers by
flashing the BSD/RCTA approach indica-
tor light.

Lane Change Assist (LCA)

Operating range

The system notifies the driver of vehicles
approaching at a high speed in the
neighboring lanes.
.

If the system detects a vehicle ap-

proaching at a high speed in the neighbor-
ing lanes, it warns the driver of dangers by
illuminating the BSD/RCTA approach in-
dicator light(s) on the outside mirror(s).
.

If the driver operates the turn signal

lever in the direction where the BSD/RCTA
approach indicator light is illuminating, the
system warns the driver of dangers by
flashing the BSD/RCTA approach indica-
tor light.

Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)

Operating range

The system notifies the driver of another
vehicle approaching from either side when
driving in reverse. This feature helps the
driver check the rear and side areas of the
vehicle when moving backward.

If the system detects a vehicle approach-
ing from either side while moving back-
ward, it warns the driver of dangers in the
following way.
.

The BSD/RCTA approach indicator

light(s) on the outside mirror(s) flashes.
.

A warning buzzer sounds.

An icon appears on the rear view

camera screen (if equipped)

Limitations of the detectability of
RCTA

Safety tips regarding the BSD/RCTA
approach indicator light/warning
buzzer

In the following cases, operation of the

BSD/RCTA approach indicator light and
the warning buzzer may be delayed or the
system may fail to issue these warnings.

– When a vehicle moves to the neigh-
boring lane from a lane next to the
neighboring lane
– When driving on a steep incline or
on repeated sharp uphill and downhill
grades
– When going beyond a pass
– When both your vehicle and a

vehicle driving on a neighboring lane
are driving on the far side of each lane.
– When several narrowly-spaced ve-
hicles are approaching in a row
– In low radius bends (tight bends or
when making turns at an intersection)
– When there is a difference in height
between your lane and the neighboring
lane
– Immediately after the BSD/RCTA is
activated by pressing the BSD/RCTA
OFF switch
– Immediately after the select lever is
shifted to the “R” position
– When extremely heavy cargo is
loaded in the trunk or cargo area

RCTA approach indicator light and the
warning buzzer may be delayed or the
system may fail to issue these warnings
under the following conditions.

– When backing out of an angled
parking space
– When a large-sized vehicle is
parked next to your vehicle (That
vehicle prevents the propagation of
radar waves.)
– When reversing on sloped roads
– When reversing at a high speed

The BSD/RCTA approach indicator

light may illuminate when driving close to
solid objects on the road or road side (such
as guardrails, tunnels and sidewalls).
.

When turning at an intersection in

urban areas, or a multilane intersection,
the BSD/RCTA approach indicator light
may flash.
.

If a building or a wall exists in the

reversing direction, the BSD/RCTA ap-
proach indicator light may flash and the

Reverse Automatic Braking
System (if equipped)

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.

There are some cases in which

the vehicle cannot avoid colli-
sion, because the system opera-
tion has limitations. The warning
sound or automatic braking may
be delayed or may not operate at
all even when an obstacle is
present.

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-
c l e r e s e a r c h a n d d e v e l o p m e n t .
SUBARU and third parties contracted
by SUBARU will not disclose or provide

the acquired data to any other third
party except under the following con-
ditions.
.

The vehicle owner has given his/her

consent.
.

The disclosure/provision is based

on a court order or other legally en-
forceable request.
.

Data that has been modified so that

the user and vehicle cannot be identi-
fied is provided to a research institution
for statistical processing or similar
purposes.

Reverse Automatic Braking
System overview

The system detects objects using sonar
sensors installed in the rear bumper.
.

If the system determines a possible

collision with an object in the reversing
direction, automatic deceleration will be
activated. Also, beeping sounds will acti-
vate.
.

If the vehicle is further reversed, auto-

matic hard braking will be applied and a
continuous beeping sound will activate.

Detecting range

Detecting range (width): Approximately 6
in (15 cm) outside of the vehicle width

Range that the system cannot detect:
Approximately 20 in (50 cm) behind the
rear of the vehicle

Detecting range (length): Approximately
5 ft (1.5 m) from the rear of the vehicle

WARNING

If your vehicle is trapped on a rail-
road crossing and you are trying to
escape by reversing through the
crossing gate, the system may re-
cognize the crossing gate as an
obstacle and brake may activate. In
this case, remain calm and either
continue to depress the accelerator
pedal or cancel the system. To

cancel the system, refer to “Cancel-
ing the Reverse Automatic Braking
system operation” F7-66.

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.

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

matic braking or torque control will be
applied to prevent collision.

At this time, a warning message is also
displayed on the combination meter dis-
