steering SUBARU ASCENT 2021 Getting Started Guide

HIGH BEAM ASSIST (HBA)
This function uses the EyeSight®cameras to automatically switch
the headlights between high and low beam settings when an
oncoming vehicle is detected, 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 will illuminate on the Combination Meter Display (CMD). When vehicle
speed is above approximately 20 mph, HBA will automatically switch between high and
low beams. When the high beams are activated, the blue high beam indicator will be
displayed in the Combination Meter.
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).
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 three 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.
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 Touchscreen buttons on the lower corners
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.
