How To Use Adaptive Cruise Control And Lane Centering On A Subaru With Eyesight

This is a quick video I made to show my new car clients how to use the Adaptive Cruise Control with the Lane Centering on a Subaru with Eyesight.

If you have an older Subaru with Eyesight that has the Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering, here is a video that shows how that specific system works:

Thank you so much for watching!

Watched your video a year ago thinking about a Subaru, and now this morning I have a brand new 2024 Outback Limited. Gonna take it out on the road and follow your instructions. Thank you.... Not thinking I'd ever set the speed to 90

Thanks for this great video. Just bought a 2023 Outback and now I understand ACC and lane centering on my Subaru, thanks to you.

Great video and thanks for showing an actual demonstration! Really useful to see it actually working on a freeway and in traffic like that. Appreciate it!

thank goodness for this video. I couldn't find anything in my user manual.

I drive a 2021 crosstrek limited, which I absolutely love, and it took some time and experimenting with the controls to get a feel for the adaptive cruise control. Just some things that I've experienced:
1. The lane centering loves to hug the right side line whether you're in the cruising lane or passing lane. There have been times where its felt that I had to fight the system to bring my car more to the left side of center such as passing a truck. Its instinctive as a driver. But as a consequence when you let the lane centering take back over sometimes it over corrects and even crosses the line to the right lane. I'd say the system works best in the right lane.
2. He said adaptive works best in heavy traffic. Yes and no. Like he said, you can set the car length gap up to four. Even at one car length theres still a pretty large gap that people will dip in and out of which will make you car brake a little harder. Otherwise its fantastic like he demonstrated.
3. If you have the speed set at, let say 75, and you lane slows down to 40 and you decide to switch lanes to get around the slowdown, if there are no cars your cruise will automatically speed back up quickly, so be cautious of others in front of you making the same move as your eyesight will only catch it when that car is fully in front of you.

That being said I love my crosstrek and the eyesight w/adaptive control is truly amazing.

You didn’t mention the way to switch from adaptive cruise control to regular cruise control and back again by holding a following distance button, but thanks for the clear and concise explanation and tutorial of a great feature.

Great video! Thank you so much. I am buying an Ascent Touring (2021) and pick it up in 2 days.

[henrylarson]

Buying a ‘22 forester premium today, happy to see this feature!

[gleeeshee]

finally i understand it - your explanation and demo was brilliant thank you

Thanks for this very informative video on the lane Centering and Adaptive cruise control for the Subaru. I've only had my new 23 Outback for 3 weeks so still learning all the features. A friend asked me about lane keeping so that got me confused until I found your video. I never used cruise control driving around SoCal so that will be something new to try. Thanks again for the great video.

I gót Mỹ 23 ascent, my first trip to Canada .. I used all that safety .. I can tell it’s amazing Subaru do .. eyesights work crazy good.. even follow the car in front the way it’s brakes low down it’s smoother then me 😂😂😂.. amazing Subaru.. I love my ascent

[plantbeastbird]

im using my subaru for 3yrs and i haven't used this feature. thanks for this video its a big help, im gonna used it now hehe

[robalexander]

Thank You and the well explained eyesight feature, which i find works very well on my new 2023 WRX 👍 Au

[VandalDecaProductions]

Great video, and best explanation I've seen yet on how this system works. I used to think the brake light indicators on the multifunction display were just an Easter egg, but I realize it's useful to know what the drivers behind you are seeing if your car is braking automatically.

Totally in agreement with pushing all the buttons I paid for. Gonna get the most out of mine when it comes in.

I Love the adaptive cruise with lane centering! We just bought a 2022 Forester Wilderness with the eyesight embedded in the windshield.
I just tried it going into town and I wanted to see if it would stop at the light behind the car and it worked great

[FlowJunkie]

Helpful vid as always, Dietrich! Thank you! 👍

[emmasebastian]

THANK YOU!!! I have a new 2023 Forester and was not educated very well. This video covers one of my questionable topics very well!

You explained that on the freeway you should set the following distance to the minimum. I’ve actually tested it and each bar is one(1) second distance to the car ahead regardless of speed. I never drive with less than two(2) second distances (thousands and one thousand and two) as recommended. Only during town driving will I set it to one(1) second distance so drivers don’t cut me off all the time. I set it to three(3) second distance when I tow a trailer as it takes longer to break
