  • Today I show you 7 settings that you'll want to change on your new Subaru. This video will help provide clarity as you learn to adjust settings on your Subaru with the touch screen display. The 11.6" Subaru infotainment can be overwhelming at first. If you have questions about any Subaru controls or settings, comment below and I'll do my best to answer them for you.

    Dear Subaru:
    You need to give this content creator PROPS, if not a job. As a customer service manager myself, who is potentially purchasing a Wilderness Outback, Alex’s “White-Glove” tutorial videos are 🎯. What a great way to learn the ropes of your product features and VALUE. At the very least, have your sales teams point to his channel to get the most out of their Subaru and make them feel good about their INVESTMENT.

    I picked up my Outback about 6 weeks ago. For the life of me, I could not find the trip odometer reset. It's so tucked behind there compared to my truck and my wife's Nissan rogue, it had me scratching my head. I had to swing my head around to see it. As far as gas mileage goes, I have the touring XT. It will sometimes say I will give 500 mi on the tank when I fill up, but eventually it goes down to anywhere between 380 or so. Right now I've done all highway on this tank of gas and it is listing about 26 MPG average. However, when I do my mixed driving it's about 24 or less.

    The setting to change the AC button to MAX AC will come in handy during our hot and humid summers. 😅 Plus the ability to just display estimated fuel remaining is a big plus.
    I’ve gotten used to the display. Honestly my only issue is the lag, but that’s it. It’s very easy to turn auto start/AVH on or off as needed.
    I’ve not tried it yet but voice commands (Subaru, not CarPlay or Android Auto) can be used to adjust climate control, correct?
