Top 5 Settings you will want to change on your NEW Subaru

When getting a new Subaru, it can be overwhelming learning all about the Subaru settings and controls. In this video, I will show you 5 settings you will most likely want to change on your new Subaru. Even if you don't want to change these Subaru settings, it's important to know where they are and what these Subaru features do. Adjusting your Subaru settings is easy once you see how it's done. I cover how to turn off Subaru's Auto Start/Stop, How to set Subaru maintenance reminders, how to turn off your Subaru lane departure settings, how to turn on Subaru Auto Vehicle Hold, and lastly how to connect your phone for Subaru Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.

I hope you enjoy this video and learn something new!

Thank you for doing this vid. The 1st person that actually explained more than others.

I actually like the controls on the Forester with the exception of something like changing the maintenance schedule that you demonstrated and also the lack of wireless CarPlay,

I like the set up in general. I really like the mix of old school manual controls and the two separate screen displays in the middle of the console with one up high and one down lower. Nice way to get a variety of info simultaneously.

Great information as always Alex. Have a good rest of the week.

Love my Forester. I appreciate the buttons.

Getting my 2024 forester in 6 weeks and will probably look at all your videos with my wife. Your videos are very well done 👍. Thanks for your help. ❤❤❤

Your videos are so valuable!! I have learned so much from them . Thank you! It is extra difficult I think for people who are not great with new technology to have it explained in detail. Would be nice for dealers to give a class on how to operate a new vehicle.

I don’t like Subarus but I like your videos
Quite a dilemma

I enjoy your videos. I just bought the 2024 Outback. Subaru has given me an appointment to show me how to use all the technology that is new to me. I've figured out a lot of it already but there are a few things still to learn. So far I absolutely love the Outback.

FYI for the auto start system. You don't need to turn it off. If you gently come to a stop without completely pushing down on the brake, the auto-start system WILL NOT activate, saving you from having to turn it off everytime you drive and you have full control of when you want it off/on during driving. Try it next time..

Thank you Alex. This top Setting will help me. I am buying a new Subaru Crosstrek. That will be so helpful to me.

[kristihammonds]

You always share such helpful information, being older makes it harder sometimes to figure all this stuff out!!! Thank you for the help!! 😊

I just bought a 2023 forester and I’m so confused!! Thank you for these videos, they are wonderful!!

[carolpadgett]

Thanks for ALL the info for operating my Subaru. I bought a used 2018 Forester, first car since my 2002 Subaru, there for I need lots of info on the many accessory services my Forester offers. Many many thanks.

Thank you Alex!
My 1st suburu ever and your video's are very informative!

I decided to test my Forester's lane departure prevention feature. On the highway with cruise control set I relaxed my grip on the wheel. The vehicle gradually drifted to the right then bumped me back, gradually drifted to the left, got bumped back. Two more cycles of this and a warning displayed on the console "Keep your hands on the wheel." I never did that again.

Your videos are a huge help for us that just purchased a new Subaru. All dealerships salesmen should refer there buyers to this site. I would love to see a video on identifying the parts in the 2024 OBW engine bay and power train. Just knowing where things like engine block, cam shaft, air intake, manifolds, alternator, starter, fuse box, cvt, difs, fly wheels, etc - would be a great video

That was a good overview. I always have the tendency to plug my phone in the USB slot and now I don't have to do that unless I need to charge my phone. Thank You

Just got my Subaru 2024 Crosstrek on Saturday. I'm loving it! Thank you for this

[mardiweber]

You do a great job explaining Subarus. The first time I experienced the Auto Stop-Start was in a loaner from the dealership. I thought I broke the car! I called them and they told me what it was.

It’s on my 2022 Outback. I always turn it off because it makes me jump when it shuts off.

We had to do research to prevent the radio from turning on at startup. A touch of the power button is only a mute, so the radio returns at startup. If you hold the power button, it turns off and stays off later.

Your videos are so valuable!!! Thanks you so much!!!
