turn SUBARU OUTBACK 2022 Getting Started Guide

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)
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 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, 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. 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 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 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.

attention or is becoming drowsy while driving. It works whether you
are a registered user or not. The system does not provide alerts
when the turn signals are operating or when the select lever is in the
“R” position.
When the system perceives the driver is not paying attention, the
“Keep Eyes on Road” warning will appear in the CMD along with
three rapid beeps.
When the system perceives drowsy driving, various warnings will
appear in the CMD along with beeps.
