As a new (first time) Subaru owner, I find your videos SO useful -- and have watched a ton of them. Not only do you cover virtually every feature of the vehicles, but you explain things clearly and succinctly and thoughtfully. What a great resource. Thank you!

Unbelievable! This is not covered in the Operating Manual!!! I had to come here to your KZbin site! Thank you ever so much!

[@ronsilva4615]

Hi Alex, just some info I learned about the lane centering. If you have it on and you let go of the steering wheel, it will steer for about 20 seconds, then start flashing to keep your hands on the wheel. If you don't put your hands on the wheel, it will start blinking faster and begin to beep. It will beep faster and louder. At around 50 seconds, it shuts off the cruise control, and you have to grab the wheel. I have a 2022 Forester Premium. Thanks for the great videos. 😊

[@clarkmorrison7243]

Great video, Alex. Next time you're on this topic you might also cover these: ONE "Will adaptive cruise just back off the gas, or will it actually apply the brakes?" Yes, it will apply the brakes. TWO "Does adaptive cruise anticipate when somebody is about to change lanes right in front of you?" NO, it does not. THREE Adaptive cruise is only suited to freeway travel and does not work well on city streets; use conventional cruise instead. FOUR Please tell us how to turn off the "Lead Vehicle Acquisition Sound" - the first time I used adaptive cruise on Interstate 465 around Indianapolis this notification was literally sounding a dozen times per minute. I just want the adaptive cruise to do its thing without pinging me constantly. If I hadn't figured this out I would have simply NEVER used adaptive cruise.

[@thirdfrau4885]

We just got a new-to-us 2022 Subaru Ascent Touring and are LOVING it. We're so thankful, Alex, for your KZbin videos that help us navigate through all the features that we didn't even know existed or did know about but weren't sure how they operated. Interestingly, our cruise control goes up 5mph when we single hit the button and goes up incrementally by 1mph when we hold it down to our desired setting. I don't know if that's a fluke but I'm glad we figured it out. This is our first Subaru and we're loving the smooth ride and many of the trim features of this model.

[@MartinStockel-k6f]

Thank you for another great review, Alex. With all the modern technology on Subarus these days, many folks that own a Subaru or considering a Subaru purchase will find these reviews of a great help. A lot of salespeople don't keep themselves up to date on these systems.

Mr. Alex. I am always grateful for your help. I'm from Japan and have a Forester(SH&SK). When driving on the highway, I rely on EyeSight(SK) cruise control. Fatigue-free and comfortable to drive. I think the strong point is that you can freely change the distance between cars. Someday, I want to run on a highway in America 🇺🇸.

I was an early adopter in 2014. I love eyesight and highly recommend it. It takes a little time to be confident with and always stay alert, but it makes trips so much easier.

[@delvesdg]

I drove from Queens NY to Washington DC using mostly adaptive cruise control and lane assist. I felt less fatigued during and after the trip. Personally feel like adaptive cruise control and lane assist is the closest I would like to get to totally autonomous driving.

[@markdrury7483]

Greetings from Australia. Lane cantering is terrible on rural highways here. Ping-pongs you left and right constantly. And when you come to anything more than a gentle corner, it fights against you turning the wheel enough, and tries to send you over the centre lines. And then beeps angrily at you for going over the lines lol. On freeways (motorways) however, it’s wonderful.

[@robertcochran7103]

Can you please do a video on how to update the software on a Subaru? For example, doing an onboard map update?

[@UseforContact]

Very helpful! Explanation was clear, concise and on point regarding what I needed to know. It used to be easy to find information in the owner's manual but now seems convoluted because of the technology that's in the car. I am essentially driving a computer on wheels.

I don't like the lane centering feature because if I keep a light touch on the steering wheel it tells me I don't have my hands on the wheel, so I have to give it a little tug every few seconds. I find it more relaxing to just steer myself on most roads. I love the adaptive cruise control, though.

[@mrhalfstep]

Hi, Alex. On my 2022 Outback the speed set button seems to work differently than you described. If I give the "set" button a "quick" bump up or down, it increases by 5 MPH. If I have the speed set at ,say, 47 MPH and do a quick bump up, the car speeds up to 50 MPH (3 MPH increase) to get to an even 5 MPH increment, then it's 5 MPH with each bump from there on. If I hold the up set button, then it just starts accelerating until I let off and it holds at whatever speed I'm at at that moment. It seems to be the reverse of what you say in the video. I'd also like to point out that the faster you are traveling, especially on curvy roads, the wonkier the lane centering feels, as it tries to "help" you. At 45-55 MPH the sytem does a terrific job of smoothly following even very curvy roads, if their lanes are marked well, but on the interstate I sometimes feel the lane centering is reacting too slowly and then abruptly catching up an feels "swervy" for lack of a better term. You didn't mention the green light projected on the windshield that indicates (along with the car icon above the steering column) that your car is locked onto the car in front of you. I rely on that light quite a bit when I set the cruise control. If you set it while going around a significant curve in the road the car in front of you will appear to the cameras to be left or right of you, depending on the direction of the curve. If that happens and you come out into a straight away with the car in front braking for a traffic sign or another driver, your car doesn't see it in time to brake. I guess the collision avoidance might stop you but the adaptive cruise won't slow you down. If you get the green light on the windshield, then you know it locked on and it didn't require taking your eyes off the road. Glad you're still making these videos. They were really helpful to this old man when he bought his first "hi-tech" car.

[@alexpmo]

I should've mentioned this, but they changed it in the 2023 models. It was exactly how you described on previous models.

[@mrhalfstep]

@@alexpmo Alex, If I get the software (firmware?) update that changes the buttons on my infotainment screen, as you described in a recent video, is it going to change the adaptive cruise control as well?

[@lovestihlquality1369]

If you "long press" the speed button, you can change speed by 1 Mile per hour increments.. Takes getting used to it

[@m.3257]

Thanks for the video Alex. I have been using adaptive cruise control with steering assist a lot now on my Crosstek Sport 2024. My key take away is that it works very well on straight highways and interstates. However, I have the feeling that steering assist always puts me too close to the center line. I wish it would put more to the right. Moreover, sometimes it feels like the system is drunk. It puts you a little bit left and right but struggles to find the correct path during long curves. Still, great system that makes driving much more relaxed over long distances.

[@yutakoh]

We have 2 Foresters (2019 Sport & 2020 Limited) and both are the reverse of what you said... they speed up/down by 5 mph if you just click the switch up/down, and by 1 mph if you hold the switch up/down. It makes much more sense to me the way the 2023s work! Thanks for another great vid, Alex.

Thanks Alex for this great video on adaptive cruise. I was afraid of it at first but I am more trusting now. I wasn’t aware that I can shut it off if I don’t want it on.

We just purchased a 2023 Subaru Outback Limiited but have not taken possession. We have been watching all of your videos and want to thank you for the excellent instructional videos on the Subaru models, which have helped us learn things about the vehicle that otherwise might have taken a long time. Regarding the adaptive cruise control, is there a method for cancelling the cruise control without tapping the brake pedal? We previsouly owned a Honda CR-V which had a cancel button on the steering wheel controls. I found this very useful when using the adaptive cruise control and wonder if the Subaru models have the same, i.e. perhaps holding one of the control buttons when engaged or double clicking, etc.? Many thanks.

[@kelvinwatt8535]

To increase/decrease cruise by 5 a quick toggle up/down is required, to increase/decrease by 1 holding toggle up/down is required. That's how it is in Australia

[@jenniferfirenz1001]

Yep true in USA also on the 2023 modles

[@Intrepid175a]

I have used cruise control religiously for as long as I've been driving. I love it. My 2022 OBP is the second car I've owned with adaptive cruise control and that's a whole other thing. I use it even more than I did before. It's interesting that the current year models increment the set speed up or down 5 mph when you press and hold the set/resume button. My car increments up and down 1 mph when holding the set/resume button. If I just touch it, it will increase/decrease by 5 mph. When I first got the car, I thought maybe that was backwards but it didn't take long, like about 5 miles, to get used to it. ;-)

[@yutakoh]

We have 2 Foresters (2019 Sport & 2020 Limited) and both are as you said... they speed up/down by 5 mph if you just click the switch up/down, and by 1 mph if you hold the switch up/down. I wonder why Subaru reversed that functionality?

[@ssathue]

Picking up my 2024 Forester Touring tomorrow. Just recently totaled my 2009 Forester (not my fault!). On the 2009 (and what I'm familiar with for other older non-adaptive cruise), there was a CANCEL button to take the car temporarily out of cruise control. A brake tap had a similar effect. And afterwards, a press of the RESUME button would re-engage cruise control and the car would "resume" its previous speed setting. Is there a similar CANCEL button/method for modern Forester and/or does a brake tap work similarly to CANCEL? So to speak... "I want to temporarily suspend adaptive cruise while I manually control things for a few minutes and then I just want to resume the adaptive cruise just as it was prior, without having to SET my speed and following distance, etc. again." I hope I was kinda clear. Greatly appreciating ALL your videos!

[@ozpaw]

Alex with the cruise control. I set the speed at the posted speed limit. The posted speed changes say from 80kph to 100kph. I either have to press the up control button 4 times to increase the speed. Or, I am now pressing the cruise off button and than back on again to reset the higher speed (or lower speed as the case may be). I can't increase my speed accelerate (or brake) and reset the speed, it only goes up by 5kph. I am forever pressing the up and down cruise control button. What am I doing wrong or is it wrong. I hope you understand what I'm trying to say. By the way keep these video coming. I'm teaching my dealer how to drive the Scooby

[@maryspence1446]

I've had my 2019 Forester for a few years and have been too afraid to try the cruise control. (Currently 2024.) Don't laugh-- prior to this I drove a Honda for 20 years and NEVER even once touched the cruise control buttons. After watching your video, however, I now feel confident about giving it a try on an upcoming trip. Most other videos on the subject don't give enough detail about what buttons to push and what they do. Also, your advice of using Regualr Cruise Control is helpful. I wonder if there is a way I turn the system off quickly without fumbling with buttons? (maybe by stepping on the brake?) What happens if I step on the gas to temporarily speed up? Will I be able to over-ride the set speed limit and maybe even permit me to (re)set a new speed limit? I'm not crazy about taking my eyes off the road to look for up/down speed limit buttons.

[@christabonds8218]

My mom bought a used 2020 Outback. The increase and decrease toggle is opposite than what it should be. A quick flick will adjust by 5 miles and you have to hold it to get it to move only 1 mile. How do you change that?

I find all your videos very informative thank you for that. I had one question though. Does the car give me a beep when I am going above the prescribed speed limit for the road that I am travelling on. For example if the road signs says 45mph then when the car reaches 45 is there a way it will beep so that we can stay within the speed limit. I ask this cause certain states are very strict on even 2 miles over the limit. That way we know to stay well within the limit if it beeps rather than looking at the gauge cluster all the time which could be hazardous

[@dmaddc]

Quick question: the + and - “paddles” behind the steering wheel - do those also control the cruise, or are they for something else?

Happy to help! The paddle shifters only control the transmission. You can use them to adjust your throttle response. Typically only necessary to use when you’re climbing a steep hill or stuck in snow.

[@writermomo4]

@@alexpmo Nice! Those paddle shifters could be very helpful. The local freeway has super-short merge lanes at the end of several on ramps and being able to downshift to get more power quickly can mean the difference between merging safely and getting creamed by a semi-truck.

[@alaish360]

Hi Alex. I have a 2023 Subaru Forester Touring. I tried to turn off adaptive cruise control by pressing and holding the button and nothing happened for me. Does the enable/disable tip work on the Forester too? I assume no. Also, I tried the lane assistance on a trip through the mountains and to the coast. I noticed lane assistance didn’t like the S curve turns and many white lines on the road. I don’t fault the lane assistance because I was being challenged myself. Keep up the great videos. I am a first time Subaru owner mostly because of your videos. I was considering every make and model on the market and selected Subaru.

[@harnesshouse]

My 23 Outback keeps telling me to keep my hands on the wheel even though they are. That's annoying. Is there any way to default the speed increment to 5 mph instead of 1 mph? On my 22 Legacy, it went by 5 mph increments. I keep forgetting that I have to hold the button to go up by 5 mph. And on a separate topic, I really want to use a dash cam but the owners' manual seems to indicate that all the places I would mount it are off limits due to the Eyesight cameras. It would be nice if those cameras and the rear camera actually recorded the video.

[@mjc63]

Thanks Alex! I use adaptive cruise control all the time! It is particularly helpful in a line at a pickup window, once the line of cars straightens out. Curves are a problem, but the straightaway to the pickup window is a piece of cake! Also when on the interstate be careful following semi trucks…they slow down ever so gradually, and I have found myself suddenly realizing I was doing 10 mph below where I thought I set it!!! I’m glad I am back in a 2023 Forester Premium…the 2020 Touring was just way overkill with the beeps and buzzers! Plus the overuse of chrome is just too much especially on a Subaru!

I find this problematic because all of a sudden I’m slowing down in a near zero visibility situation and I fear the car behind me won’t see it because there are no brake lights. Is there any way I can prevent this from happening? I asked my dealer after it happened the first time, but even after a follow-up call they never got back to me. I’m hoping you have an answer for me. Thank you. I love your videos.

[@DanHenderson408]

I have a 2020 Forester Touring and love adaptive cruise control. My only issue with it is that when it is engaged and I'm approaching a car that is stopped in front of me, it waits too long to start braking and scares me. Is the "start braking" distance adjustable? Of course I start manual braking from a comfortable distance, but that disengages adaptive cruise control and sometimes it takes multiple clicks of the switch when traffic starts moving to reengage. I'm concerned that I'm using the switch so much that I will wear it out.

PS Since my first Forester that had Eyesight up to and including my current 2023 Forester Premium, I find the car brakes much later than I would, and it gets way too close to the car ahead before breaking than I am comfortable with. I always use the slowest (economical) setting for getting back up to speed in order to avoid whiplash!!! But all in all I would not be without Eyesight and adaptive cruise control, nor would I consider anything but a Subaru!

How do you get the starlink icon to stay lit. I have starlink for 3 years free from when I purchased my car and I bought the remote start.

How do you resume cruise control without resetting the process. Like if you have it on and come to a stop and need to go again?

i love your tutorials, im from philippines , we just bought Forester GT Edition 2023 model😊

Thanks for watching!

How do you pause cruise control when encountering construction zones without having to reset your cruise speed when by the zone? I have been tapping the brake to slow then using the resume button.

We have a 2024 Subaru Outback and the dealer told us it automatically has iSight with lane assist (I see you showed how to set that but I guess it come pre-set). I’m confused though why it also has that feature on the cruise control and whether, then, it’s necessary to push that when using cruise, in this case.

Thank you, your videos are very helpful. Is there a way to turn off the rear seat seatbelt chime? Thanks

[@Beachboy22]

I can not the middle rear seat belt in the rear seat 2024 outback limited !! Any help would be ❤… I see where the buckle goes into. Where is the strap ? I pulled down the rear arm rest where is the middle seat belt ??

[@andrea859]

A huge thankyou Alex. 😊

[@alexpmo]

you're welcome!

[@richardharker2775]

Very few car reviewsers talk about this so thank you for sharing. With the adaptive cruise switched on I was told the display bars for follow distance is represented as seconds ie 1-4 seconds fron the car in front. Does this correlate to your experience?

Alex,how to set memory seat on 2020 foresters? Tom

I've only had my Crosstrek for a few weeks but I noticed one time at a red light, when the car in front of me pulled forward I got an alert that said something like lead car in motion. What is that and where can I turn it on/off?

[@ronaldnickelson2130]

The lane centering function on my 2023 Legacy keeps the car too far to the left. Is there any way to adjust this?

[@jpuffy]

I’d like to know this too

[@denisedefazio2474]

Hi Alex! I have a brand new 2023 Forester Premium, got it yesterday. If I like using the Lane Departure feature and the buzzer, do I have to turn it on every time I start the car? I loved that feature in my Madza, and it was always on. Thank you so much for your videos. I have been watching them all while waiting for my car to arrive. I live in St Augustine, FL. Denise

I found that lane centering is constantly over adjusting. It’s very annoying. To the point that I don’t like using it. Subaru needs to fix that.

[@johnb2990]

I have a 2021 forester and when I bump the speed control button my speed goes up 5 miles per hour if I bump and hold it goes up one mile per hour. can I change this to the way the 2023 outback works? Thanks great videos. I download them and can refer back to them when needed.

[@haydenmurray9696]

Hi Alex, I just got a 2023 WRX manual, how would increasing the cruise control speed work if I have to shift up or down? Thank you!

[@marksavitt3657]

Where can I find the video on how to set up the code to get into the car without the key fob.

[@kathycook1060]

2022 Forester StarLink climate control settings. Why does my air conditioner alway go on when I set my climate control for winter. How do I fix this? Please help.

[@slimjseattle]

Just bought a 2023 Forester Sport. It seems to me the lane departure feature can be activated without cruise control on. I'm just using the delault settings on the car. Great videos. Thank you!

[@jpuffy]

Yes, lane departure warnings are on by default, and above about 35-40mph the lane centering will occasionally turn on automatically (if road conditions allow for it) but usually shuts off after a few seconds and is back to just departure warnings and mild departure assist. In my Subaru (23 Crosstrek) you can tell if it’s fully lane centering by the green steering wheel light and both lanes highlighted in blue around the car depicted on the dash.

[@tpolerex7282]

I always keep the Lane Departure Prevention function on with the warning buzzer off. The complaints about the constant beeping and buzzing of the earlier models is mostly gone on my ‘24 Impreza RS. The only beeping I get is an EyeSight “object detected” rarely when I come up on a bit close at a stop.

[@genenoftall7033]

Hey Alex, concerning my E brake,it randomly applies itself when I put my 2024 Crosstrek Wilderness in park,any reason why
