7-22. Driver Monitoring Sys-
tem (If Equipped)

Driver Monitoring System is introduced as
DriverFocus in some countries.
The Driver Monitoring System monitors
possible cases when the driver is not
paying attention to the forward direction,
and also recognizes individual users.
This system warns the driver of inattentive/
drowsy driving, and can support safe and
comfortable driving by automatically re-
trieving the following settings.
– Driver’s position
– Climate control setting
– Meter setting
– Center information display setting

When a user is registered, various settings
are automatically retrieved when the user
enters the vehicle.

Camera

CAUTION

Always use the utmost care in

driving

– Overconfidence because you

are driving a vehicle with the
Driver Monitoring System
could easily lead to a serious
accident.

This system cannot detect if the

driver is feeling drowsy or is
concentrating on safe driving.

It cannot judge if the driver is

awake or asleep, if their driving
abilities have diminished, or if
they are concentrating on safe

– CONTINUED –

Driver Monitoring System

driving.

In some circumstances, the sys-

tem may not be able to correctly
detect the driver state.

NOTE

The user recognition camera does

not save images, audio, or video.

The Driver Monitoring System may

not operate correctly when sunlight is
shining into the vehicle in the following
ways.

– Sunlight is shining directly (or
through glass) onto the user recog-
nition camera.
– There are shadows on the dri-
ver’s face caused by sunlight (or
any light with a strong infrared
component).
– There are large momentary fluc-
tuations in the strength of the sun-
light (or any light with a strong
infrared component) shining on the
face.

Correct detection may not be possi-

ble when a device that includes an
infrared light source (such as a com-
mercially available Driver Monitoring
System) is installed in the vehicle
interior.

The Driver Monitoring System may

not operate correctly at the following
times when the driver is wearing
glasses or sunglasses.

– The sunglasses do not allow the
easy passage of infrared light.
– The surrounding scenery is re-
flected strongly in the lenses of the
glasses or sunglasses.
– The eyes are hidden by the frame
of the glasses and the user recogni-
tion camera cannot detect the eyes.
– The light from an infrared light
source (LED) is reflected in the
lenses of the glasses or sunglasses.
– The driver is wearing an eye-
patch.
– The driver is wearing a hat set
deeply over the eyes.

Depending on the type of mask,

correct detection of inattentive/drowsy
driving may not be possible.

Correct user recognition is not pos-

sible if the eyes, nose, or mouth is
covered with a mask, muffler, sun-
glasses, or other item.

The Driver Monitoring System may

not operate correctly when the eye-
brows, eyes, nose, or mouth is hidden
due to item that is between the face and
the system.

If a thick cover is attached to the

steering wheel, then depending on the
position set for the tilt/telescopic steer-
ing wheel, the cover may block the
system’s view of the face, and the
system and the Driver Monitoring Sys-
tem may not operate correctly.

Do not attach any stickers to the

user recognition camera or the infrared
light source (LED). If the user recogni-
tion camera or infrared light source
(LED) is covered by an obstruction, it
will not be possible to correctly monitor
the driver.

If an accessory is hung from the

inside mirror, correct detection may not
be possible.

Do not touch the user recognition

camera or the infrared light source
(LED) directly with your fingers. If there
is dirt or a fingerprint on these parts, it
will not be possible to correctly monitor
the driver. If there is dirt or a fingerprint
on these parts, either wipe them with a
soft dry cloth, or wipe gently with a
damp cloth after first firmly wringing
the water out.

If the surface of the user recognition

camera or the infrared light source
(LED) becomes scratched, correct de-
tection may not be possible. Be careful
that hard objects do not contact these
parts.

Driver Monitoring System

428

(431,1)

If there is condensation on the user

recognition camera or the infrared light
source (LED), correct detection may
not be possible. If there is condensa-
tion on these parts, wipe it away with a
soft dry cloth.

When registering a user for user

recognition, avoid closing your eyes
as much as possible.

If the user recognition success rate

is low, it is possible that the user is not
correctly registered. Delete the regis-
tered data and perform registration
again.

If a user frequently drives both with

glasses and contact lenses, it is re-
commended that registration be per-
formed both when wearing glasses and
when wearing contact lenses.

User recognition starts immediately

after entering the vehicle, however if
the user looks downward or at the
driver side mirror for a long time, the
user may not be recognized.

When one person among twins or

another pair of persons with similar
facial features is registered, the other
person may be incorrectly recognized
as the registered user when entering
the vehicle.

If the person in the passenger’s seat

leans into the driver’s seat, or in other
cases when there are two or more faces

near the driver’s seat, the system may
not operate correctly.

There are cases when the system

concludes that the user’s eyes are
closed when the user is looking down-
ward during driving, such as when
checking instruments or the navigation
screen. In such cases, the drowsy
driving warning buzzer may sound or
the system may otherwise not operate
correctly.

If the eyes are narrowed when laugh-

ing or when there is a dazzling outside
light, the system may judge that the
eyes are closed and the drowsy driving
warning buzzer may sound or the
system may otherwise not operate
correctly.

The drowsy driving or asleep warn-

ing states are recognized from the
length of time and percentage of time
that the eyes are closed. The drowsy
driving warning buzzer will not sound
simply when the driver feels sleepy or
yawns.

Even when the driver does not feel

sleepy, if his or her eyes are closed or if
he or she blinks frequently, the drowsy
driving warning buzzer may sound.

The inattentive driving warning buz-

zer may sound if the driver leans
forward or puts his or her head out of
the window while driving.

The inattentive driving warning buz-

zer will not sound when the vehicle is
stopped or travelling at slow speed
even if the driver is not looking ahead.

The Driver Monitoring System col-

lects and stores data regarding drivers’
facial features. Facial recognition data
is stored locally and does not leave the
vehicle. It is not transmitted to or stored
by SUBARU or anyone else. The Driver
Monitoring System may be disabled
and any stored driver data may be
deleted by following the instructions
below. If the Driver Monitoring System
is disabled, it will be unable to provide
any of its safety or convenience func-
tions.
