Very helpful, hands-on tutorial that provides easy explanations of the car's features. The dealer never explained any of this when I purchased the car but that may be because this dealership sells all makes and models and no one person can possibly know all the features of every vehicle. Unless you have a couple of hours to read the user manual, this tutorial makes it almost obsolete. Thank you for posting.
Great job. Helped my wife and I get started with our 2021 Ascent. Since our purchase was a slightly used model our salesman did not take much time showing us the bells and whistles.
2023, 11/26. Just got a Ascent. Dealership said nothing about this! I'm new to all the electronic features. Had no clue, glad you posted information. Should be 1 shut off / On switch made for car wash mode. This is kinda annoying. So I gotta write me a reminder list..😑. Crazy.. But thanks 👍
Thanks for this video - this is the same option package I ordered on my Premium - super helpful! So many videos only show the Touring, so this was great. Would love more Ascent videos! A video comparing the Ascent and the Forester would be cool.
Thanks for your video, please how do you reset oil life on this particular model without the up and down arrow button . Most of the videos I’ve seen used those buttons
Any chance you can do a video on the 2019 Ascent. Can the starlink be disconnected and not affect the Bluetooth,gps etc? Does it actually drain the battery?
thanks this video.The car is excellent and I have been using it since September 2021 until now after 5650 miles. Gasoline consumption in the city is 15 miles per gallon. Is this a normal rate? It has been said that it should consume 20 miles per gallon. What do you think?
I received 2021 Subaru Ascent as a rental car while my Subaru Forester is in service for repair. I was looking for information about how to fold back seats. Alex showed a lot of things, but unfortunately did not show in this video how to fold back seats..
I have this model and one day I must have accidentally hit a setting switch that showed my speed in large digits on the dash board and I LOVED it. But, after enjoying it like that for a couple of weeks, I must have hit another setting switch and now I don’t know how to get it back. Can you tell me how to get my speed displayed in big numbers again?
Yes I need to know how to fold in my rearview mirrors but not manual on the door can I do it with the key fab when I get out hopefully you’ll get back this was done a year ago thank you again
Hey! Thanks for the walk through. I just got a 2022 ascent and I am struggling to find any videos on how to use the drivers facial recognition feature. Are you able to help with that?
I love my Subaru and looking to upgrade. I need more room so I’m loving the ascent. Only down fall with them I wish they made auto lock when you start driving. Instead of manually
You can make this adjustment in your settings on the screen. It allows you to choose which doors you want to automatically lock/unlock upon entering/exiting the vehixl.
I have two baby car seats on the second row. whenever I open the driver’s seat, the whole interior dome lights light up, waking up the kids in frown. the ascent only lets you keep the map lights off, and lacks the function to keep the dome lights off when any door opens.. any tricks or hidden function or after market circuits to help?
Can you make a video on the settings of the touch screen on the 2020 Ascent? Also, my hatch opens when the doors are locked by pushing the button on the door itself without me having the key fab on me? But if I lock the car with the fab it locks correctly. Is this normal?
@@alexpmo just picked up a limited pkg14 last night! Great vehicle with nice tech made simple..and simple is hard to achieve. Am happy about my purchase
Hi. Not sure where else to message you?! I have a 2019 ascent. Is there any way to start my car without paying for the STARLINK? It seems alot cheaper to install a regular car starter if not…🤷🏻♀️ help! Lol Thank you
Hi Jodie, the alternative is to purchase the remote start keyfob and have it programmed. The last time I had this done it was around $750 for parts plus labor (they take about the dash and center console so it's a big job). The keyfob will also only start and stop the car, it won't allow you to control your climate, lock/unlock the car, and/or track the car if needed like the mysubaru app does through starlink. The lowest price plan for a used Subaru is to get the 3 yr subscription which is $300. Once you're signed up on the mysubaru app, you're ready to go. No parts are required to be installed. It's important to note that in order to use the mysubaru app for remote start, you have to have the push button start with keyless access. Hope this helps!
The info button changes what displays on the multifunction display just above it in the center of the dash. It shows time/date, interior temp controls, exterior temp, mpg, etc
The Ascent is actually one of the few Subaru models that don’t have the auto start stop feature. The manual transmission Crosstrek, wrx and brz also don’t have it
The BSD on/off switch is on the left hand side of the dash just in front of your left knee. When you turn it on, the side mirrors will light up temporarily to show you that it's on. When turned off, it will illuminate on the dash in orange telling you that it's off.
I was AMAZED that with all the electronic gadgets, the Subaru Ascent (2021) does NOT alert you to when you need an oil change. My 2008 Ford Explorer had that option for goodness sakes. BUT, if you buy a new one the dealer will send you an email when your oil change is due, so I guess that's good enough. (I don't know if that service is offered on a used car). It's not easy to remember where 6,000 miles have elapsed from the last change after you have a lot of miles on your vehicle.

I can't tell you how much I appreciated this video, Alex.
Thanks for the video.. We traded in our 2014 Forester and bought a 2022 Ascent Premium.. Love our Subaru's...
Thanks for this video - this is the same option package I ordered on my Premium - super helpful! So many videos only show the Touring, so this was great. Would love more Ascent videos! A video comparing the Ascent and the Forester would be cool.
Thanks Kelsey! I appreciate that. I'm working on a model comparison video for the future. Thanks for watching!
We wish there was a way to turn off the cabin lights when the doors open with our 2020 Ascent. It disturbs the sleeping children.
Thanks. My 2022 Ascent just purchased is intimidating with all the features but this made it easier.
Thanks for the video. Just got a new ascent and needed to see this going from a 96 accord to this new car with all these features I'm not used to.
Thanks for your video, please how do you reset oil life on this particular model without the up and down arrow button . Most of the videos I’ve seen used those buttons
Just brought home my new Subaru ascent onyx! Love all your videos! Is there a way to connect the garage door opener to this particular trim?
Love this video. do you happen to video more info. about x-mode and how it work in action? Thanks.

Do you have a video just on how to use the i-switch?
Very, very helpful THANKS BUDDY!
Can you make a video on how to get your trunk to close when it goes “back to the demo setting” as they told me before?
I just got mine and I have the driver door seat adjust setting for 2 drivers. How do I set that up?
Thank you. Very good explanation 👍

How do you turn off all the interior lights in the Ascent? You seem to be very knowledgeable about these vehicles.
can you do a video on installing a blocker heater in a 2021 Ascent.

I can't tell if the bumper has parking sensors or not. I have the 2019 limited captains chairs in Canada. Just bought it yesterday
So O have the option to start my car walking up to it?
Like some of the features. Unique

What are the knobs on the shoulders of the second row seats? Is it to be easy for third rows to grab on to get up?
Yep! Or to hang stuff
What does the INFO button next to the hazard lights button do?
The info button changes what displays on the multifunction display just above it in the center of the dash. It shows time/date, interior temp controls, exterior temp, mpg, etc
Is there a difference between the Limited 2021 model and the Limited 2022 model? thanks
They are identical
@@alexpmo thank you
Yes, I'm old and I don't know how to use GPS thru my phone
Does the Subaru ascent have start stop technology like other Subaru models?
The Ascent is actually one of the few Subaru models that don’t have the auto start stop feature. The manual transmission Crosstrek, wrx and brz also don’t have it
I see this sunglass holder sticks like mine...
Where button to turn blind spot on ascent standard

Are there front sensors on the car?
It has eyesight, which are cameras on the front inside of the windshield.
No. Sensors are only in the rear bumper. The front uses cameras.
How can you tell when you need an oil change?
On a new Subaru you should get your oil changed every 6,000 miles with full synthetic.
I was AMAZED that with all the electronic gadgets, the Subaru Ascent (2021) does NOT alert you to when you need an oil change. My 2008 Ford Explorer had that option for goodness sakes. BUT, if you buy a new one the dealer will send you an email when your oil change is due, so I guess that's good enough. (I don't know if that service is offered on a used car).
