REAR SEAT REMINDER
The Rear Seat Reminder system assists you in
preventing a child or pet from being left in your
Subaru. The system monitors the opening and
closing of the rear side door. It does not
physically sense the presence of a child or pet.
The system turns on if your Subaru is started
within 30 minutes of a rear side door opening
or closing. It also turns on if a rear side door is
opened and closed when your Subaru is
running and stationary. The system remains on
if your Subaru is turned off and back on again
within 30 minutes and the rear side doors
remained closed.
When you turn your Subaru off, the system warns you audibly and with a “Reminder, Look
in Rear Seat” message in the Combination Meter Display (CMD).
The system operates only one time with each ignition cycle and opening and closing of a
rear side door. You can turn the Rear Seat Reminder off with the touchscreen by selecting
“Settings”, then the “Car” menu.
Passenger Occupant Detection and Seatbelt Reminders
To help keep your passengers
safe, your Subaru has a
passenger occupant detection
and seatbelt reminder system for
each seat, including the rear
seats.
If passengers in the rear seats do
not fasten their seatbelts while the
ignition is in the "ON" position,
the seatbelt warning lights
illuminate or blink for the specific
seat, and a warning chime may
sound.
For more information, please
refer to “Seatbelt Warning Light and Chime” in your Subaru Owner’s Manual.

Started Guide that is standard in all new Subaru

Get the most comprehensive guide to all 417 national
parks in the United States. Quickly learn about each
park’s history and highlights.
eBird
Exclusive to Subaru vehicles, the eBird app tells you
what birds are being seen near you in real time. Based
on a database of millions of bird sightings, eBird acts
as a “digital coach” for finding birds. Use the app to
decide where to go based on the distance to a great
birding location and the species being seen there. For
example, the app may tell you the nearest sighting of a
certain species is 8 miles away and navigate you to
the last place it was seen. Full-screen photos help you
confirm your sightings.

Rear Cross-Traffic Alert (RCTA)
This function detects a vehicle approaching from
either side as you reverse and provides audible and
visual warnings. Warnings will appear in the upper
corner of the Rear-Vision Camera display and side
mirrors, and audible beeping will sound.
BSD/RCTA can be turned on or off in the
Center Information Display (CID):
1Select the “Car Settings” icon.
2In the “Driving Assistance” menu, select
“BSD/RCTA” to turn the function on or
off.
When this function is off, a yellow BSD/RCTA
OFF indicator will be displayed in Combination
Meter Display (CMD).
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 in the Center Information Display through the
“Car Settings” icon.
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.
