Subaru Rear Vehicle Detection (SRVD)
Introduction
The new Subaru Rear Vehicle Detection System (SRVD), which is standard on the 2015 Outback
2.5i Limited and 3.6R Limited and available for the 2.5i Premium, offers three functions. Blind Spot
Detection detects vehicles on either side of the vehicle, in the driver’s blind spots. Lane Change
Assist detects fast-approaching vehicles in adjacent lanes, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert detects
vehicles approaching from a perpendicular direction while reversing, such as from a driveway.
LED indicators on the side mirrors alert the driver. Rear Cross Traffic Alert uses an indicator in
the rear view camera display.

Blind Spot Detection (BSD)
BSD notifies the driver of vehicles traveling at a similar rate of speed in neighboring lanes behind
the C or D pillars by illuminating an LED indicator in the side mirror. The detection area for BSD
is approximately 23 ft from the rear bumper cover.
Note: If the driver attempts to change lanes by enabling the turn signal while a vehicle
is in the vehicle’s blind spot, a flashing LED indicator in the side mirror will alert
the driver to the potential hazard.

Lane Change Assist (LCA)
LCA notifies the driver of fast-approaching vehicles in neighboring lanes by illuminating the LED
indicator in the side mirror. The detection area for LCA is approximately 230 ft from the rear bumper
cover and is based on Time to Collision (TTC) calculations.
Note: If the driver attempts to change lanes by enabling the turn signal while a vehicle
is approaching at a higher speed, a flashing LED indicator in the side mirror will
alert the driver to the potential hazard.
