lane assist SUBARU FORESTER 2022 Getting Started Guide

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.

Lane Change Assist (LCA)
Lane Change Assist (LCA) provides an additional level of protection by warning you of
rapidly approaching vehicles in the neighboring lanes. If LCA detects a vehicle
approaching at a high speed in the neighboring lanes, 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 rapidly
flashes the BSD/RCTA approach indicator light.
Rear Cross-Traffic Alert (RCTA)
This function detects a vehicle approaching
from either side as you reverse, helping you
check the rear and side areas of the vehicle
when moving backward. If RCTA detects a
vehicle approaching from either side while
moving backward, the system provides visual
and audible warnings: The BSD/RCTA
approach indicator light(s) on the side mirror(s)
flash, the BSD/RCTA warning indicator
appears in the upper corner of the Rear-Vision
Camera display, and a warning buzzer sounds.
Blind Spot Detection / Rear Cross Traffic Alert OFF
BSD/RCTA can be deactivated by pressing the BSD/RCTA OFF
switch in the instrument panel. Press the switch again to turn
BSD/RCTA back on.
When these functions are off, a yellow BSD/RCTA OFF indicator will
be displayed in the Combination Meter. Deactivating BSD/RCTA
also deactivates Automatic Emergency Steering, if equipped.
When Automatic Emergency Steering is turned off, the Automatic
Emergency Steering OFF indicator is displayed in the Combination
Meter.

EYESIGHT®DISCLAIMER
EyeSight®is a driver assist technology which may not operate optimally under all driving
conditions. The driver is always responsible for safe and attentive driving. System
effectiveness depends on many factors such as vehicle maintenance, weather and road
conditions. See Owner’s Manual for complete details on system operations and limitations.
The Pre-Collision Braking system is designed to provide automatic braking that either
prevents a collision or reduces the severity of a frontal impact.
The Pre-Collision Throttle Management system is designed to reduce acceleration and
minimize the severity of certain frontal impacts.
Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control and Brake Light Recognition are designed to assist the
driver and are not substitutes for safe and attentive driving.
Lane Centering function operates only when used in conjunction with Advanced Adaptive
Cruise Control.
Lane Departure Prevention operates only when the lane markings are visible, and system
effectiveness depends on many factors.
Blind-Spot Detection, Lane Change Assist and Rear Cross Traffic Alert are systems
designed to assist the driver by monitoring the rear and side areas of the vehicle during a
lane change or reversing and are not a substitute for safe and attentive driving.
The Reverse Automatic Braking System is not a substitute for safe and attentive driving.
System effectiveness depends on many factors, such as vehicle maintenance, weather
and road conditions. Always exercise caution and use vehicle mirrors and the Rear-Vision
Camera when backing up. See Owner’s Manual for complete details on system operation
and limitations.
The Driver Focus Distraction Mitigation System is a driver recognition technology designed
to alert drivers if their attention to the road wavers or if the driver’s face appears to turn
away. The driver is always responsible for safe and attentive driving. System effectiveness
may be affected by articles of clothing worn on the head or face. See Owner’s Manual for
complete details on system operation and limitations.
