Subaru Forester: Driver Monitoring System (if equipped) / Inattentive/drowsy driving warning
While driving, the Driver Monitoring System
monitors possible cases of driver
inattention or drowsiness and warns the
driver.
When the inattentive/drowsy driving warning
activates, the buzzer sounds and an
interrupt display appears.
NOTE
- The inattentive/drowsy driving warning
operates regardless of the status of
the user recognition function.
- The inattentive driving warning does
not activate when the turn signal is
operating or when the select lever is in
the “R” position.
- When the pre-crash brake OFF indicator
is illuminated on the combination
meter display, the inattentive driving
warning activates at the same
timing as usual even when a vehicle
ahead or obstacle is detected. For
details about the EyeSight system,
refer to the Owner’s Manual supplement
for the EyeSight system.
When the system monitors that the driver
may be inattentive, it warns the driver.
When the inattentive driving warning activates,
the buzzer sounds and an interrupt
display appears on the combination meter
display...

risk of being injured from deployment
is greater...
