What's new for 2015 Legacy
all new, completely redesigned


2016 model Outback, Legacy and Forester changes and prices will finally be announced in June, and 2016 orders will be available at that time with estimated delivery starting in August.

Its hard to make a great car better, but here's my 2016 Outback and Legacy wish list

Hopefully the 2016 Outback and Legacy will have
Rain sensing front wipers
Eyesight standard on all Limiteds
Passenger seat needs a  height adjustment
Limited model rear seat fan should have a fan speed adjustment
5 or 6 speed front wiper intermittent speeds- currently only 4 speeds.
Electric parking hill holder function should also set the parking brake when the car is put in park
Blind spot and rear cross traffic alert should be standard on all Premiums. Currently standard on Limiteds.
Climate control should have easier to read buttons and especially larger clock and outside temperature numbers
All models should have a lock/unlock Beep with on/off control. Currently only the Limited beeps when un/locked
The 3 year/36,000 mile warranty includes Roadside Assistance program which should include any Subaru the new owner has!
Drop the 6.2" radio completely, and make the 7" system standard or all models. Either that, or really improve the 6.2' audio system. The 7" system is significantly better than the 6.2"
More small accessories are needed to personalize a car: bring back optional under-car puddle lights, interior ambient and dash lights, factory front and rear bumper corner anti-scuff moldings, front hood protector etc etc
Keyless access fobs should each be a different color to help owners identify their key, and the key fobs need a simple Off/disable setting to lock it in a car when swimming etc instead of wrapping it in tin foil, or the impossible to use pin code access system.

Then you can tap the trunk button in the same series to unlock/lock the doors. Pushbutton start is required.


random thoughts on the new 2015 Legacy
(subject to whim and change)


Overall, this is a new long needed upgrade that brings the Legacy up to size, ride, and feature standards set by market leaders Accord, Camry and Altima among others.
What buyers can expect is a quiet ride with good acceleration and excellent fuel economy (26 city, 36 highway, 30 combined), a spacious rear seat, usable infotainment systems (aka audio systems, what used to be called a radio), and top safety features.
With MSRP prices starting at $22490 ($22790 with PZEV emissions) including destination, the Legacy is one of the lowest priced and best equipped in the market, and that's with all wheel drive. While AWD might not appeal to buyers in dry, warm areas, its almost a necessity in the northern states where rain and snow are part of everyday driving hazards. 
The styling is still typical Subaru- a bit conservative and cautious but well designed with an eye for balance, a cohesive look, in other words it looks good, it looks current, with no great/standout or terrible styling features.
The 3.6L model obviously good pick-up and really pulls strongly, but the 4 cylinder does fine though with more engine noise and much better economy than the 6.
Everyone has to come to their own conclusions though.


Good

> This is a major upgrade over the 2014 and previous models. The car is bigger with a real family size rear seat but still handles well. And the trunk holds a lot of luggage.
> Its all much quieter and smoother- ride, transmission, engine etc.
> Acceleration is better and smoother with a more responsive and quieter CVT transmission. No more obvious CVT whine.
> Ergonomics are vastly improved and more natural - the parking brake is moved to center console where it should be, the cupholders are better positioned (but still not great) etc. Not all is perfect but it's better than previous models.

> Tilting front headrests
> Eyesight on/off and sound settings are easier to use
> Phone pairing includes downloading your contact list/phone book
> Door grab handles and center console armrest are easy to clean
> Heated seats- now three front settings, and two rear. The heated rear seats is all new.
> Ivory interior now with dark carpets, door sills, and lower door panels so won't show much dirt!

> Eyesight v3- I would absolutely want it and Subaru makes it affordable in the Premium with Pkg #14
> Blind spot detection and rear cross traffic alert functions are all new. Standard on Limiteds, optional on Premiums
> Seat cushion airbags to stop front seat driver and passenger from sliding forward. I like this new airbag better than the driver knee airbag on Forester/Impreza
> Automatic parking brake is on/off silently now, without the 'grrr' sound of previous years, and it also releases faster than previous years when the gas pedal is pressed.

> Power memory seat on all Limiteds. Finally! 2 memory settings for seat position, height, and seatback adjustments. This is long overdue. Maybe next year memory settings will include the outside mirrors and lumbar support, both which also change from driver to driver.  With optional pushbutton start (Limiteds only) the two key fobs can be matched to the seat positions so when a key is used to unlock the drivers door, it moves the drivers seat to that position automatically.
> Rear view back-up camera is much improved and easier to see with the new large audio screens. It would be nice if there was a beeper at 6" when a parking bump is imminent (but one must wonder if a big camera display isn't enough and a beeper is needed to warn of impact, should some driver's be backing up at all)
> Turn signal changes. Yes, its the little things that count. The turn signal sound is now a nicer, deeper tock-tock-tock than the previous tick-tick-tick. I think it will be easier for people to hear. Plus a gentle tap of the turn signal stalk now gives has a quick 3 blinks which means it doesn't have to stay on for miles if you can't hear it or don't pay attention to the instrument panel.
> Stereo systems all much better, especially on Premium and Limited models. Navigation models are lacking decent sound equalizer adjustments (only have base/mid/treble adj). The station pre-set list includes AM//FM/XM in one scrolling list which is convenient but it would be nice if XM setting identified the station. XM is only free for 4 months, but with Pandora and Aha it might not be a big issue for many owners. An XM subscription is required for the weather, gas station location, sports and stock market information on Premium and Limiteds after the 4 month free trial.
> Infotainment screen and displays are attractive and easy to use. Maintenance reminders are easy to set. Weather, sports, gas station, and stock quote functions are gimmicky but frankly I like them though an XM subscription is required after the 4 month free trial.
> Instrument panel has a center LCD display that shows the speed. Its much easier to see this digital display than the cramped speedometer markings, and the way police like to ticket for barely going over the speed limit its nice to have that speed displayed. It would be nice to have an easy-to-set speed alert button that would beep beyond a set limit for the lead-foot driver.



Bad or Wanted

suggestion regarding roadside assistance: the 3 year/36000 mile warranty on a new Subaru includes free roadside assistance. It would be appropriate if this roadside assistance was extended to any other Subaru the new buyer owns. This would increase the usefulness and value of the roadside assistance program which is generally overlooked by owners, and also of Subaru's support for older Subarus the person owns.

> Still no rain sensing front wipers
> Passenger seat still needs height adjustment
> USB and aux jacks are at the back of the center console and too hard to find and use
> Wind noise- a wind noise is audible from the front corner windows and needs to be fixed- Note- this was fixed starting with early October production.
> Tiny and easy to miss clock and outside temperature displays in the climate control. Really, they are way too small.
> Subaru roadside assistance is included in the 3yr/36,000 mile warranty and it would be nice if it covered any Subaru the buyer owns
> Radio- harmon/kardon upgraded audio only has basic adjustments for base, mid range, and high settings. No equalizer. Very disappointing
> Front seat cupholders don't work well with bottles, mugs, or larger to go cups, but they are better positioned than the 2014 and previous years
> The weather, sports, gas station, and stock market info in Premium and Limited model audio systems requires an XM subscription, its only free for 4 months.
> All climate control buttons are still too small except for Mode. The unit is larger but except for the mode button, all buttons are too small,  requiring the driver to look away from the road to find.
> Limited model's 18" wheels look nice but scrape curbs easily, tires are expensive to replace, and the bigger wheel can gather more snow in deep snow driving. When will this wheel size race end...
> Parking brake and hill holder function- When the hill holder function is turned on, the parking brake activates when the car stops on a hill. Note to Subaru- It should also activate any time the CVT is put in Park..
> SRF steering responsive fog lights are part of the Eyesight package. They only work when the headlight are in 'Auto" (dusk to dawn) mode. They should work any time the headlights are on, esp in the 'On' Setting
> Ambient lights- yes there are lights in the overhead console, front center console and door handles (exc base model), but where are all the optional ambient lights for front and rear cupholders, footwells, and door sills etc
> When will Subaru go back to having a true auto-on headlight setting where the lights are automatically on whenever the engine is on, and off when the engine is turned off  like it is with the optional pushbutton start. The setting now has the headlights on when the key is in the ignition, or headlights off when the key is pulled out of the ignition cylinder.
> Subaru provides 3 standard keys or 2 keyless access/pushbutton start fobs and they need to add a flat, small, weatherproof key that will only open the door so all the active skiers, swimmers, biker riders, hikers will have a key to carry when out and about.
> The Limited driver's seat has two memory settings, and with optional pushbutton start the two key fobs can be linked to the seat positions so the seat automatically goes to that seat when the door it opened. It would be helpful if the two key fobs were slightly different, if for example the unlock button which is a Subaru logo had one fob with a blue background and one fob had a different background color.
> Puddle lights- previous 2010-2014 undercarriage puddle lights were popular but were recalled for water issues, and the new outside mirror approach lights are nice, but I did like the undercarriage puddle lights, and it would be great if both mirror and undercarriage lights were available. Or add a down-light to the bottom of the outside mirrors, to the underside of the mirrors, in addition to the door handle approach light. I like lights...

-
 click for the full 2015 maintenance schedule

Break-in period  for the first 1000 miles
Don't race the engine, keep RPMs under 4,000 for the most part and vary the speeds with normal city/highway driving.
2.5L models- the first oil change is required at 6000 miles or 6 months. Its recommended to do it around  3months/3,000 miles.
3.6R  models- the first oil change is required at 3months/3,000 miles.

Always....
Always let a cold engine briefly idle as the oil circulates.
Avoid hard acceleration on a cold engine.
Check the oil between changes

Service schedule

Oil-
2.5L models- 0w-20 synthetic oil is required.

3.6L models- 5w-30, regular oil is ok, synthetic is recommended

Note: new on all 2015 models 1st oil and all subsequent oil change required at or by every 6,000 miles or 6 months.  The 2014 oil change interval was 7,500 miles or 7 mos.
6 months or 6000 miles is the minimum oil change interval required. Under severe, hard, very cold or very hot weather driving, change more frequently.

from the owner's manual
Some engine oil will be consumed while driving. Under the following conditions, oil consumption can be increased and thus require refilling between maintenance intervals:
> When the engine is new and within the break-in period
> When the engine oil is of lower quality
> When the incorrect oil viscosity is used
> When engine braking is employed
> When the engine is operated at high engine speeds
> When the engine is operated under heavy loads
> When towing a trailer
> When the engine idles for long periods of time
> When the vehicle is operated in stop and go and/or heavy traffic situations
> When the vehicle is used under severe thermal conditions
> When the vehicle accelerates and decelerates frequently
Under these or similar conditions, you should check your oil at least every 2nd fuel fill-up and change your engine oil more frequently. If your oil consumption rate is greater than 1 quart every 1,200 miles or 1 liter every 2,000 kilometers, contact your Subaru dealer who may perform a test under controlled conditions.

SAFETY
2015 LEGACY

subject to change, correction, updates. Tips and corrections welcomed

Subaru's Mobile-It-Ease program helps modify vehicles for special needs drivers. More info here

All Wheel Drive- upgraded for 2015 with Active Torque Vectoring
Full time all wheel drive.
new for 2015
with Active Torque Vectoring (modulates inner front wheel when vehicle is turning)
new for 2015 Rear Vehicle Detection System
(side/rear radar system)
all new for 2015 and a first for Subaru
standard on Limiteds, optional on Premiums

package includes

Blind Spot Detection (BSD) will illuminate a warning icon in the exterior mirror when it detects a vehicle alongside and behind the Subaru vehicle in an area of about 22 feet x 11 feet. If the driver signals a lane change to that side, the warning icon in the mirror will flash
Lane Change Assist (LCA) looks for vehicles farther back in an adjacent lane – about 220 feet behind the Subaru vehicle. If the vehicle detected is approaching quickly – at a speed that could bring it alongside the Subaru vehicle within a few seconds – Lane Change Assist will illuminate a warning icon in the exterior mirror on that side. If the driver signals a lane change, the warning icon in the mirror will flash rapidly
 Rear Cross Traffic Alert (warns of vehicles approaching when you're backing out of a parking spot).
The Subaru Rear Vehicle Detection (SRVD) system uses two radar units, each mounted underneath the sheet metal immediately below the rear taillights. To help avoid damage, the radar units are purposely mounted above the typical bumper impact line.
The radar units send out signals to detect vehicles behind and to each side of the Subaru vehicle, especially those vehicles that might not be visible in the rearview mirrors.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) uses the same radars and sensors to help detect vehicles that cannot be seen by the driver as they approach from either side. This is especially helpful when reversing from between two larger vehicles. The driver is alerted by a flashing icon in the appropriate exterior mirror, a flashing icon in the rear vision camera display, as well as an audible alert
upgraded for 2015 Eyesight
new for 2015 3rd generation Eyesight (note- the 1st generation was never offered in the US)-
 active cruise control, lane departure warning, pre-collision warning and braking.  2015 Eyesight has smaller, less intrusive housing, color capable cameras, a longer and wider field of function, higher speed differential to 30mph (from 19mph on v. 1). On/off buttons moved to the driver control panel.
new for 2015 steering responsive fog lights- included with Eyesight- uses steering wheel position to briefly turn on the left or right fog light to illuminate a corner when the vehicle is turned. The fog lights have to be off for the system to turn them on.
> Active Cruise Control combines the benefits of cruise control with active monitoring of the road ahead. 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.
> Pre-Collision Braking can recognize an impending collision, alert the driver and automatically apply the brakes to help avoid a collision or minimize the impact when a collision is inevitable.
> 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.
> Pre-Collision Throttle Management is designed to help 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.
> Lead Vehicle Start Alert is a helpful EyeSight feature that alerts the driver when his or her vehicle remains stopped after a vehicle in front has started to move away.
> Lane Departure Warning 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. Lane Departure Warning works at all speeds, while Lane Sway Warning only operates at speeds over 32 mph.

Eyesight cars have three windshield washer squirters, with the middle one to clean in front of the cameras.
The camera’s field of view is about 35 degrees horizontally from the center of the windshield.
The camera’s field of vision extends up to about 360 feet in front of the vehicle, but objects very close to the vehicle may not be detected
EyeSight works to recognize obstacles up to about a 30-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 up to 30 mph, the object will likely not be detected
.
Note- do not touch or try to clean the EyeSight camera lenses. 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
Optional on Premium and Limited models

fuel cutoff system fuel cutoff system detects an airbag deployment and cuts off to minimize fire danger after an accident. (new on 2013)

Event Data Recorder (EDR)
EDR, Event Data Recorder information.
 In the event of an impact, the EDR will freeze data including how various systems were operating, for example if seatbelts were buckled, if the gas or brake pedals were pressed, and vehicle speed. No personal data is stored. To read data, special equipment is required. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer (Subaru), other parties such as law enforcement that have the equipment can read the information if they have access to the vehicle or EDR.  Existing laws generally provide that information in an EDR is confidential and is the property of the owner of the motor vehicle. Information is accessed through the airbag system using a Subaru service computer.

Emissions
PZEV is required in  CA, CT, DE, MA, MD, ME, NJ, NY, OR, PA, RI, VT, WA
 here is a brief, simple summary.
PZEV is Partial Zero Emission Vehicle.
The EPA says PZEV is the cleanest running gas car on today's market based on emissions testing for carbon-containing compounds, oxides of nitrogen, particulate matter, and other tailpipe nastiness.
What it does
1. A charcoal canister catches unburned gas left in the engine when it's turned off so it doesn't evaporate. 
2. Fuel injectors close tighter when they're not in use.
3. It has a finer mesh in the catalytic converter, as well as optimized placement of precious metal.
4. The engine's electronic brain is set to run hotter at start up so the catalytic converter heats up faster.
PZEV is not available or required on the 3.6L
Brakes

The system makes a mild sound as it activates or releases the brake so you know its working.

To use in as emergency brake pull up on the brake to activate but only in an serious emergency when you cannot normally brake! This will cause your rear wheels to lock so be very careful.
Pull the brake button UP to activate the brakes, push it down to release them.

A green image of a car on an incline is in the upper right dash comes on (see image).
When stopping on a hill 5% or steeper, either going forward up or backwards down a hill,  the Hill Holder activates the electric parking brake and holds the car from rolling.

The ‘HD’ in ‘HD Radio’ is part of iBiquity Digital’s brand name for its digital AM and FM radio technology.
HD is not an acronym for either hybrid digital or high definition, it is simply the name for this technology.
HD Radio broadcasting is free, there are no subscription fees.
The HD channels are not particularly strong, so you might lose the signal in garages or in mountains or downtown between buildings.
The service includes iTunes Tagging which lets you capture information about a song on the radio and store it on your Apple device by pushing the "Tag" button on the HD Radio receiver. When your device is connected to iTunes, a list of tagged songs will appear which can be purchased.
HD radio website, check stations etc

new for 2015 Pin Code Access on Outback and Legacy.
Requires Keyless Access with Pushbutton Start
A back-up lock/unlock system so you can lock and unlock the doors when you don't have a key fob handy.
To use it, you first program in a series or 5 digits by repeatedly pushing the Legacy's trunk lock button the same number of times as each number in the series you select.
To lock/unlock the car, you then tap the trunk button the same number of time as you programmed in.
Note- the PIN Code Access will be helpful if the key is accidentally left in the vehicle.

To register a 5-digit security Pin Code
1. Close all doors
2. Press and hold the button on the access key. Then all doors will be locked.
3. Keep the button pressed, and press the trunk opener button within 5 seconds after step 2.
4. Press and hold the above button for more than 5 seconds. Then a chirp will sound.
5. Press the button on the access key while the chirp sounds. Then the chirp will stop and the preparation is complete

For example, to register 32468 as the PIN code, perform the following procedure....
1. Press the trunk opener button three times for the first digit (a 3) in this example
2. After a buzzer (ding) sounds once, press the trunk opener button twice for the second digit (a 2)
3. After a buzzer (ding) sounds once, press the trunk opener button four times for the 4.
4. After a buzzer (ding) sounds once, press the trunk opener button six times for the 6
5. After a buzzer (ding) sounds once,press the trunk opener button eight times for the 8.
6. Perform steps 1 to 5 again within approximately 30 seconds after the buzzer starts sounding intermittently.
7. All doors will be unlocked and locked.
Then the PIN code will be registered.

If you make an error during the registration procedure, open the driver’s door and then close it.
Then start over from the procedure described in Preparation>
To protect your vehicle from theft,you  cannot register 5 digit codes such as 00000, 11111 to 99999, or 12345. Do not register your vehicle license plate number or simple numbers such as11122 or 12121. Doing so will increase the risk of vehicle theft

You cannot unlock by PIN Code Access in the following cases
- when the access key is within the operating ranges
- when the ignition switch is in the ACC or ON position
- If you make an operation error during the unlocking procedure, start over with the unlocking procedure after waiting for 5 seconds or longer.
- To protect your vehicle from theft, a buzzer will sound if incorrect PIN codes are entered five times continuously. If this occurs, you cannot unlock the doors by PIN Code Access for 5 minutes.

NOTE:
disable the Outback and Legacy keyless access proximity key in order to hide it in the car when camping, swimming, skiing, biking: remove the emergency key to carry with you to get back in the car (yes the alarm will go off when you open the door until you unwrap the proximity key), wrap the proximity key in foil, then hide it and hope no one finds it and steals the car.
