All 2.5 CVTs have L-D transmission control. L is Low mode, and is the only option other than Drive. There is no manual control available on 2.5 models, and is the first Forester without it. It means the driver can't control or get more power when needed for passing on hills or 2 lane roads, or for towing a trailer, driving on camping or snowy roads etc. All previous year Foresters have had controllable transmissions for safety and performance. If you think Subaru should put Paddle Shifters with manual control back on the 2.5 model, please voice your concern to Subaru's customer support at 800 SUBARU3 (800 782-2783) |
2.0 XT CVTs have M-D for Manual and Drive modes, giving the driver the option of full transmission control for those times when more power is needed, or more control for snowy or logging roads. It is used with the standard Paddle Shifters. This very important safety feature is on XT models only, and not available on 2.5 models at all. |

2015 Forester Eyesight subject to change, correction. 2015 Subaru Forester optional Eyesight cameras |
2015 Forester's 2nd Eyesight is slightly different from the 2015 Outback/Legacy 3rd generation Eyesight system
Forester Eyesight DetailsNote: Eyesight is available with all colors except Crystal Black due to heat issues Here are the features Pre-Collision Braking Pre-Collision Brake Assist Pre-Collision Throttle Management Lane Departure and Lane Sway Warning Adaptive Cruise Control Lead Vehicle Start Alert Pre-Collision Braking can recognize an impending collision, alert the driver and even automatically apply the brakes to help avoid a collision or minimize the impact when a collision is inevitable. The EyeSight cameras and electronic control units analyze objects on the road ahead, measure the distance to the object and compare the object’s speed to the EyeSight vehicle’s speed. Only once EyeSight has locked onto an object on the road ahead, if the system recognizes a potential collision, will Pre-Collision Braking activate. There are three stages of operation that may occur in rapid succession: Initial Warning – The Multi-Function Display in the top center of the instrument panel will show an image of a white vehicle icon representing the vehicle that has been detected and a warning display, and a series of short beeps will sound. These warnings tell the driver to take action. No braking or other vehicle control functions are activated in this first stage First Braking Application – If there is no driver intervention – such as steering around the obstacle or braking – Pre-Collision Braking will immediately and automatically apply the brakes. (Note that whenever the brakes are applied, the brake lights illuminate.) If this braking is not sufficient, the audible alert and instrument panel displays will continue to issue warnings Second Braking Application – If there is still no driver intervention, the brakes are immediately and automatically applied harder, and the system will issue a continuous warning sound. The driver can still take action to avoid a collision, but EyeSight is now warning that a collision is imminent Pre-Collision Brake Assist. If EyeSight® recognizes an impending collision and the driver is applying the brakes but not with enough force, Pre-Collision Brake Assist automatically applies up to full braking pressure in order to try to shorten braking distances. Note- this feature does not replace Brake Assist, which is standard on all Subaru models, but rather enhances Brake Assist by adding an extra level of information to determine when to apply full braking. These features are helpful because in emergency braking situations, many drivers simply do not apply full braking pressure. If a vehcile has been detected, the multi-function display in the top center of the instrument panel will show an image of a white vehicle icon, a warning displays and a series of short beeps will sound. When the driver applies the brakes to avoid hitting the vehicle or object ahead, EyeSight continues to measure the closing distance, vehicle speed and brake application. If EyeSight determines that sufficient braking pressure has not been applied to avoid impact with the vehicle ahead, it will provide full braking pressure. After the vehicle has stopped, a ready light flashes and audible beeping warning occurs. At that point, the driver must apply the brake to remain stopped. If EyeSight determines that evasive actions have been taken, based on information from a steering angle sensor and other input, Pre-Collision Brake Assist will be cancelled Pre-Collision Throttle Management helps prevent drivers from accelerating into a stopped vehicle or other obstacle in front of them. It warns the driver and reduces engine power until he or she applies the brakes to avoid an impact. EyeSight® analyzes the object ahead, and measures the distance to the object as well as vehicle speed and throttle position. If it determines that the throttle opening will result in an impact, Pre-Collision Throttle Management: Displays a warning on the instrument panel, sounds a repeated series of short beeps and can significantly restrict the throttle so that vehicle acceleration will be reduced Lane Departure and Lane Sway Warning Lane Departure alerts drivers when they unintentionally move out of their travel lane. It takes no corrective vehicle action other than issuing visual and audible warnings. Lane Sway Warning acts in a similar way, detecting unusual back and forth vehicle movement within the lane of travel. That movement can be indicative of a drowsy driver. EyeSight® analyzes the lane markings on the road ahead, including the road’s centerline and shoulder markings. If it determines that the driver is deviating from the normal lane of travel, it displays a warning on the instrument panel and issues six short beeps as an alert. This feature relies on EyeSight’s recognition software as well as input from the brakes, steering and throttle sensors, and the turn signals. Lane Departure Warning and Lane Sway Warning only operate at speeds over 32 mph. Lane Departure and Lane Sway do not work when the turn signal is used and for a brief time afterward the steering wheel is turned significantly, the brake pedal is depressed, or the accelerator is fully depressed. Because Lane Departure and Lane Sway Warning rely on EyeSight’s ability to recognize lane markings and road shoulders, this function may not operate when there are no lane markings or they are very worn, the lane markings are a similar color as the road surface, there is very little contrast between the road surface and the shoulder Lane Departure and Lane Sway Warning should be turned off in situations where EyeSight might become confused by road markings, such as tire tracks on a wet or snow-covered road, repaired road surfaces with significant contrast between the repair and the original pavement, harsh shadows on the road from guard rails, or bright transitions in road surfaces, such as when leaving a tunnel Adaptive Cruise Control combines the benefits of cruise control with active monitoring of the road ahead by EyeSight, and it issues warnings and activates automatic braking when needed. Adaptive Cruise Control can regulate vehicle speed in order to keep a safe following distance from the vehicle ahead. It does not replace conventional cruise control, which can still be used when desired. EyeSight’s cameras and object-recognition software measure the distance to the lead vehicle and the speed difference between vehicles and can slow the EyeSight vehicle to keep a safe gap in travel. If a slower lead vehicle moves out of the lane ahead or exits, the system automatically accelerates back up to its set speed. In other words, it tracks vehicles in your travel lane and automatically maintains a gap between you. It can even bring the EyeSight vehicle to a complete stop if the lead vehicle comes to a stop, such as during a sudden traffic jam. However, the Forester EyeSight system does not have a “stay stopped” feature as found in Legacy and Outback models. This is because Forester does not have an electronic parking brake. The Forester driver is responsible for keeping the vehicle stopped in this situation. Lead Vehicle Start Alert alerts the driver when his or her vehicle remains stopped after a vehicle in front has started to move away. The twin video cameras’ field of view is 25 degrees horizontally from the center of the windshield. Unlike human vision, EyeSight has no peripheral vision The twin video cameras’ field of vision extends up to 260 feet in front of the vehicle, but objects very close to the vehicle may not be detected EyeSight works to recognize obstacles within a 19 mph (or less) speed differential. Essentially, EyeSight needs time to recognize an object or potential obstacle. If the speed difference between the EyeSight vehicle and the object is greater than 19 mph, the object will likely not be detected Sun glare, foul weather, a dirty windshield or even a thin coating of frost or ice will hinder or even cancel EyeSight operation. If you’re having a hard time seeing out of the windshield, so will EyeSight A cracked windshield, oil film on the glass or reflections may impede the performance of EyeSight EyeSight may not recognize low-contrast objects, those with regularly spaced patterns or horizontal lines, backlit objects, very small objects (less than 3 feet tall) or complex-shaped vehicles, such as cement mixers or car-carrier trucks EyeSight becomes operational about 7 seconds after the engine is started There is a time delay of several seconds between when an object enters the field of view of EyeSight, when the software recognizes it and when an alert or action is initiated Non-approved vehicle accessories, such as hood protectors, and water-repellent glass coatings should not be used with EyeSight-equipped vehicles, since they may hinder its operation Do not touch or try to clean the EyeSight camera lenses inside the vehicle. It is imperative that extra precaution be used when cleaning the inside of the windshield, because over-spray from cleaners may impair or even damage the cameras’ lenses, which is not a warranty issue Note: Eyesight is not available on a Crystal Black car due to heat issues |
