display SUBARU FORESTER 2022 Getting Started Guide

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.

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.

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 an 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. Although the system is normally on, you can turn the system off using the SRH OFF
switch located on the lower left console.
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.

STEREO CAMERA PRECAUTIONS
Your EyeSight®stereo cameras are precision components that must be kept free from
obstruction and contamination, such as fingerprints or cleaning solutions. When the
system detects that the stereo camera lenses are impaired, a malfunction indicator will be
displayed and EyeSight
®functions will not be available.
When you are in the vicinity of the EyeSight
®stereo cameras, always observe the following
precautions:
• Do not touch or attempt to clean the EyeSight
®camera lenses inside the vehicle. Extra
caution should be used when cleaning the inside of the windshield. Over-spray from
cleaning solutions may impair or even damage the camera lenses. When cleaning the
inside of the windshield around the camera cover, do not spray cleaner directly onto the
windshield. Instead, spray cleaner onto a cloth and then wipe the windshield. Please
inform others who may attempt to clean the windshield, such as car wash staff, of these
precautions.
• If the inside of the windshield in front of the stereo camera is dirty, do not try to clean the windshield yourself. Contact your Subaru retailer to have the vehicle inspected.
• If the camera system becomes hot, the cooling fans may operate. Do not block or insert anything into the ventilation holes. Do not touch the camera cover, because it may be
hot due to head generated by the camera system.
• Electronic Toll Collection devices, such as EZPass
TM, must be installed in an area that
does not obstruct the stereo cameras' field of vision. See prohibited area on page 113.
• Adjust the rearview mirror so it does not obstruct the stereo cameras' field of vision.
• Do not install any interior rearview mirror accessories, such as a wide-type mirror or hanging objects. Only approved Genuine SUBARU accessories may be installed.
For more detailed information, please refer to your EyeSight
®Owner’s Manual.
WINDSHIELD GLASS AND DASHBOARD
Since the characteristics and limitations of the EyeSight®stereo cameras are similar to
human eyes, it is important that the area in front of the cameras be kept free from dirt,
scratches, cracks, fogging, or accessories mounted to the windshield, hood or dashboard.
Visual impairments or reflections can affect EyeSight
®system performance. Extra caution
should be taken when cleaning the windshield to prevent over-spray from cleaning
solutions.
The image in the following section outlines those areas that must be kept clean and free
from obstruction. Please refer to the Owner’s Manual for a complete listing of limitations.
