  1. Driver-Assist Technology and EyeSight
    I understood from other posts that Eyesight braking could be over-ridden by stepping on the accelerator during the event. Subaru Sally decided she was going to hit a right turning vehicle in front of me and applied the brake quite firmly. I stepped on the accelerator to give us some room in...
  2. Driver-Assist Technology and EyeSight
    Hi, First time on these forums and looking for some advice as I have a 2016 Forester XT Premium. Recently my Eyesight light came on and it was shut off (not disabled with the line across it). Took it dealership and found the DTC Code B28B1 had come up and they tried to recalibrate it but it...
  3. Towing and Hauling
    I recently installed the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Brake Controller in my 2015 Forester w/ Eyesight. I bought the controller from e-trailer and installed via their directions. The install went smoothly - just took some time - but then when I drove the Forester for the first time after installing the...

    So I just bought a very clean 2017 Forester Lim. I moved my Ultragauge over to it from my 2012 Outback and WHAM, the dash was lit up like a Christmas Tree! I thought - OMG, I've fried the ECU, but the car started and ran fine. I did remove the Ultragauge, but the lights remained on...
  5. Driver-Assist Technology and EyeSight
    I want to mount my phone (for a bunch of reasons, including that the infotainment system is laggy and too low in my field of view to be optimally safe). But the EyeSight manual has a bunch of restrictions and I can't figure out where to put a phone mount. The manual says: Do not place any...

    Hello all, I have a 2023 Forester Wilderness - Canada. When I am not using the cruise control, will the forward collision warning work and stop the vehicle? I tried driving close to the parking door, a car in front of a traffic stop, hoping the vehicle would indicate an obstacle/car detected...

    I am ex-Forester, currently have Outback, still following Forester topics; would appreciate any relevant advice from current Forester owners. My 2022 Outback got sideswiped by hit and run van. It was quite a "bump" but surprisingly only visible outer damage is minor on side front bumper...
  8. Driver-Assist Technology and EyeSight
    I decided to give the steering assist a try today with rain and hard crosswinds on my 22 Forester Sport. The current tropical storm here in FL was giving me up to 50mph gusts. I sat the cruise on 60 and locked in steering assist and was very pleasantly surprised. While I did get pushed side...

    I recently installed a 2" lift on my 2022 Wilderness and a few people have suggested that I recal the Eyesight system. Is this something that I can do on my own or should I take the rig into the dealership?
  10. Driver-Assist Technology and EyeSight
    I have a 2022 Forester Wilderness and noticed that the Lane Keep Assist seems to only work when cruise control is on. With cruise control off, the dashboard will show that the lane markers are registering and it will beep and display a “lane departure” warning if I drift out of the lane but it...

    Has anyone else had a problem with their eyesight being to sensitive? It keeps kicking in when cars in front of me are turning and I'm already slowing down. This morning it braked when I when I was going through an intersection and the car in front of me was making a right hand turn and was...

    I have had my 2015 Forester into garage for this same problem many times. I think about 6 times since January 2020. I have had O2 sensor changed, the catalytic converter was also changed at some point due to some damage to it from something the garage did, the garage did the required emisions...
  13. Forester Shopping
    Hi Everyone, I would like to know if there is a speed limiter function as part of the cruise control system on the new Forester. From images and youtube videos it appears one can only set a speed for the car to follow, i.e. unlike in other cars, there is no button labled "lim". On urban roads I...

    Hey Subie fam, I've noticed that whenever I'm driving into direct sunlight during the morning and afternoon, my Eyesight is disabled. I use cruise control a lot so it's really annoying when it shuts off while I'm going down the freeway at 75 mph. I imagine getting my windshield tinted would...
  15. Driver-Assist Technology and EyeSight
    I need my cracked windshield replaced on my 2019 Forester and have gotten extremely mixed replies from glass shops about if the EyeSight will need recalibration. Safelite says yes and will charge an additional $600, while some local places have said: 1. it's rare the camera will need it so they...
  16. General Troubleshooting and Technical Help
    Yesterday we drove roughly 150 miles round trip to various stores a town across state. Nothing abnormal. Got about 10 miles from home and my dash lights up like a Christmas tree with everything turning off, RAB, EyeSight, etc. I get a message on the screen saying "Check Owners Manual", etc. The...

    2021 Subaru Forester Sport. I'm currently at a beach that allows vehicles to drive on it. While driving with traction control off on the sand, the VDC Warning light kicked on and disabled RAB and Eyesight. I can't find a whole lot on VDC issues with the newer models besides that other safety...

    I tested my new Forester's safety systems - a few questions: 1. Under what circumstances do you get the steering wheel to give you lane keeping assist feature? I was not able to get it while switching lanes without my signal bring on or slowly pretending to veer slightly off my lane. 2. I tried...
  19. Driver-Assist Technology and EyeSight
    I have read on this forum and also seen some advertisements for local glass shops stating they will recalibrate your driver assist safety system (EyeSight in our case) with a windshield replacement. My question is what exactly do they do when they recalibrate the system? Why is this even...
  20. Driver-Assist Technology and EyeSight
    Hi, in Singapore, we get a really weird configuration of the Forester. We get plenty of features including eyesight and blindspot monitoring, however our forester lack the lane keep assist feature that I see is often bundled with eyesight overseas. From my reading it seems to use the electric...
