warning SUBARU OUTBACK 2021 Getting Started Guide

FRONT VIEW MONITOR(if equipped)
The Front View Monitor provides you with
visibility from the front grille shown in the
Center Information Display, improving visibility
when making turns with an obstructed view or
pulling into a narrow parking spot. A guide line
is also displayed to provide distance and
width references.
Press the Front View Monitor
switch on the center console to
display the Front View Monitor
image on the Center Information
Display (CID). You can manually
turn off the Front View Monitor by
pressing the Front View Monitor
switch again or with the Car
Settings icon, Home button, or
Driver Profiles icon. The function
also automatically turns off when
the select lever is shifted to “P”,
the parking brake is applied,
vehicle speed becomes 12.5 mph
or more, or 3 minutes have
passed since the last operation.
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.
Blind-Spot Detection (BSD)
This function senses if a vehicle is in your blind spot and provides a
visual warning (yellow light) in the corresponding side mirror frame.
Lane Change Assist (LCA)
Lane Change Assist (LCA) works with Blind Spot Detection to
provide an additional level of warning if you attempt to change lanes
with a vehicle in your blind spot. LCA will rapidly flash the corresponding side mirror
indicator if you operate your turn signal when a vehicle is sensed in your blind spot.

2In the “Driving Assistance” menu, select
“BSD/RCTA” to turn the function on or

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
