stop SUBARU ASCENT 2022 Getting Started Guide

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.

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.

MEMORY HEIGHT(if equipped)
You can set where the Power Rear Gate stops when it opens.
This is a great feature to limit the upward travel of the rear gate to
ensure you can reach it or to prevent the rear gate from contacting a
garage ceiling. You can learn more about setting the Power Rear
Gate Memory Height from the how-to video linked in the QR code
and the following steps.
1Make sure the Memory
Height Switch is the “OFF”
position (the switch is raised
and you can see a white line
on the top).
2Open the rear gate using the
Power Rear Gate Button.
Pause the rear gate when it
reaches the desired height
by pressing the Power Rear
Gate Button on the rear
gate, instrument panel, or
key fob.
