2022 SUBARU FORESTER Getting Started Guide

Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering
Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control is a driving support system intended to reduce the
burden on you when driving on an expressway (including during congestion and when
driving at high speed). Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Centering work
together to assist you by automatically controlling the accelerator, brake, and steering.
Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control
This system provides cruise control with the
ability to keep a safe distance from the car in
front of you. Using the EyeSight
®camera, the
Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control function
identifies vehicles in front of you in the same
lane, and your vehicle follows the vehicle in
front (up to the maximum of your set speed).
While following, your vehicle will automatically
maintain a following distance that
corresponds to the speed of the vehicle in
front. The vehicle is capable of being
controlled at a speed between 0 mph and
approximately 90 mph.
You can turn the Advanced Adaptive Cruise
Control on or off using the Adaptive Cruise Control On/Off button on the right side of the
steering wheel (see page 98). Once the system is turned on, a white Adaptive Cruise
Control icon will be displayed on the Combination Meter Display (CMD). When all the
operational conditions are met, “READY” appears underneath the Adaptive Cruise Control
icon.
To set Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control, push down the “SET/–” switch on the right side
of the steering wheel. The CMD will indicate a target speed and the icon will turn green.
This speed can be adjusted up or down using the “RES +/SET -” switch (see page 98).
When a vehicle in front of you is identified, a Lead Vehicle icon will be displayed on the
Combination Meter Display (CMD) and/or Multi-Function Display (MFD). You can change
the desired following distance from the lead vehicle by pressing the “Increase Distance” or
“Decrease Distance” buttons (see page 98).

Lane Centering
The stereo camera detects lane markings
(including Botts’ dots) of the lane and the lead
vehicle, and the system assists the steering
operation by working with the electric power
steering to help keep your vehicle in its lane
when driving on expressways, freeways and
interstate highways.
This function can be used by pressing the
Lane Keep Assist switch when the Advanced
Adaptive Cruise Control is activated. When
driving at speeds of 0 mph to approximately
90 mph, the system detects the lane markings
and/or the lead vehicle and assists you with
steering in order to keep the vehicle close to
the center of the lane.
Conventional Cruise Control
Conventional Cruise Control maintains a
constant traveling speed you set, but it does
not adapt to the other vehicles in front of you.
To activate Conventional Cruise Control, press
the Adaptive Cruise Control On/Off button to
set Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control into
standby status. Then, with Advanced Adaptive
Cruise Control in standby status, press and
hold the “Increase Distance” or “Decrease
Distance” button on the steering wheel for
approximately two seconds.
The Cruise Control indicator on the
Combination Meter Display (CMD) will change
from the Adaptive Cruise Control icon to the
Conventional Cruise Control icon, and the “READY” indicator appears when all operational
conditions are met. Use the accelerator to reach the desired speed, then use the RES
+/SET - switch to set the vehicle speed.

Lead Vehicle Start Alert
This function will provide a visual and audible
alert when a stopped vehicle in front of you
begins to move, and your vehicle remains
stationary. Warnings are displayed in the
Combination Meter Display (CMD) with
audible beeps. Lead Vehicle Start Alert is
helpful in situations where you may become
temporarily distracted at a traffic light, and the
vehicle ahead begins to move.
This function can be customized. To change
this setting, use the steering wheel mounted
“i/SET” switches to access the EyeSight
®
settings menu on the CMD.

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.
Rear-vision Camera Washer
To help keep your vision clear, your Subaru
comes equipped with a Rear-vision Camera
Washer. The Rear-vision Camera Washer is
activated whenever the washer for the rear
window is used. Rotate the end of the window
wiper lever down from the “OFF” position, or
up from the continuous operation position, to
clean both the rear window and the
Rear-vision Camera.
For more information, please refer to
“Instruments and Controls” in your Owner’s Manual.

FRONT VIEW MONITOR(if equipped)
The Front View Monitor provides you with
visibility from the front grille shown in the
Multi-Function Display, allowing you to check
blind spots and see road surface conditions
around the front tires during off-road driving,
such as when driving downhill. The Front View
Monitor also supports everyday
driving safety, improving visibility
when making turns with an
obstructed view or pulling into a
narrow parking spot. A guide line
is displayed to provide distance
and width references.
With the ignition in “ON” or
“ACC”, press the “VIEW” switch
on the center console (or shift the
select lever from “R” to “D”) 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” or “INFO”
switch. The function will also deactivate automatically.
BLIND SPOT DETECTION (BSD) / REAR CROSS
TRAFFIC ALERT (RCTA) (if equipped)
This system uses radar sensors mounted behind the rear bumper on the left and right
sides that warn you if another vehicle is sensed in your blind spots. These functions
provide additional awareness when changing lanes or driving in reverse.
For more information, please refer to the following sections of this Getting Started
Guide and “Starting and Operating” in your Owner’s Manual.
Blind Spot Detection (BSD)
Blind Spot Detection senses if a vehicle is traveling at the same
relative speed in your blind spot and provides a visual warning. If
the system detects a vehicle in your blind spot, the BSD/RCTA
approach indicator light in the corresponding side mirror frame
illuminates. If you operate the turn signal lever in the direction the
BSD/RCTA approach indicator light is illuminated, the system provides an additional level
of warning by rapidly flashing the BSD/RCTA approach indicator light.
