2022 SUBARU ASCENT steering wheel

REAR-VISION CAMERA
This function provides a clear view of the area
behind the vehicle to help avoid obstacles.
Using a wide-angle camera mounted on the
rear of the vehicle, an image is automatically
displayed on the multimedia screen when you
place the select lever in the “R” position.
The displayed image features a centerline
indicator, colored distance markers, and
dynamic guidelines that move as the steering
wheel is turned.
FRONT VIEW MONITOR(if equipped)
The Front View Monitor provides you with
visibility from the front grille shown in the
Multi-Function Display, improving visibility
when making turns with an obstructed view or
pulling into a narrow parking spot. A guide line
is also displayed to provide distance and
width references.
Press the “VIEW” switch on the
center console to display the
Front View Monitor image on the
Multi-Function Display (MFD).
You can manually turn off the
Front View Monitor by pressing
the “VIEW” switch again or the
function will automatically turn off.

HIGH BEAM ASSIST (HBA)
This function uses the EyeSight®cameras to automatically switch the
headlights between high and low beam settings, enhancing safety for
both you and other drivers on the road. To activate High Beam Assist,
set the headlight control switch to the “AUTO” position and push the
headlight lever forward to the high beam position. The green HBA
indicator illuminates on the Combination Meter.
HBA automatically activates the high beams when the forward area is dark, there are no
preceding/oncoming vehicles or sharp curves in the road, and your speed is approximately
20 mph or greater. When a preceding/oncoming vehicle is detected, the forward area is
bright, your speed decreases to 10 mph or less, or the EyeSight
®system is malfunctioning
or is temporarily stopped, HBA automatically switches to low beams.
STEERING RESPONSIVE HEADLIGHTS (SRH)
The Steering Responsive Headlights (SRH) system aims the headlight beams in the
direction you are steering, improving visibility at corners and intersections when driving at
night. You can turn the SRH system on or off using the steering wheel mounted “i/SET”
switches to access the settings menu on the Combination Meter Display (CMD).
For more information, please refer to “Instruments and Controls” in your Owner’s
Manual.
REVERSE AUTOMATIC BRAKING (RAB)(if equipped)
This system uses four rear bumper mounted sonar
sensors to detect objects when moving between
1 and 9 mph in reverse. RAB uses the Rear-Vision
Camera image to display colored proximity alerts
when an object is detected. As an object becomes
closer to the rear of your vehicle, audible beeps
provide additional awareness in progressive levels.
If RAB determines that a collision with an object is
possible, the system can automatically apply the
brakes to help prevent or minimize the impact.
Reverse Automatic Braking (RAB) OFF
In some cases, such as connecting a trailer, it may be helpful to temporarily turn the
system off. RAB can be turned off using the buttons in the lower corners of the
touchscreen when the select lever is in the “R” position.
Select and hold the “RAB ON” button in the lower part of the touchscreen
until it changes to “RAB OFF” to disable the automatic braking functions of
the RAB system.
Select and hold the “P))) ON” button in the lower part of the touchscreen until
it changes to “P))) OFF” to disable the audible beeping of the RAB system.
