Because of your videos this 70 yr old gal is really enjoying her new Forester. I’m pretty sure learning from you is helping my brain too. Thank you!
Happy to hear that Pamela! 😊 enjoy your new forester!
I couldn't agree more!
@@alexpmo qaaàzaàààsaaàaaaaaaaaa
This 69 year old, just got her new 2020 and these videos are invaluable! Thank you!!!
This 72 old guy waiting for new 23 Forrester. Learning lots
Wow! I’ve had my Forester for over a year and I just learned so much from this video! Thank you and keep ‘em coming!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching
This was a very timely video, because I didn't understand why my tailgate was only going up halfway. I thought I was going to have to take it in for servicing, but now I know what to do. Thank you!
You're welcome! Was it set on the memory height setting?
Thanks Alex. Our Forester is identical to the one you used in this video. And we do have the package 15. Thank you for sharing. We did not realize that we have all of these features.
Loves it. Very informative. All this info is in the books they give you, but let’s be real who has time to read all these books, by you putting it in simple words and actually demonstrating how to its really so much easier to learn and understand so Thank you.
Thanks Nilsa! Happy to help 😊
I’ve had my 2020 Forester for 3 years and I’m so happy I found your TH-cam channel! Have learned so much ! Thank you!!
Thanks for all the great and helpful info that you provide through your channel, Alex. We just bought a 2022 Forester Premium in autumn green metallic which arrives to the dealer in about 2 weeks. I've been wanting this or the Outback in this color for YEARS and am jazzed that I will finally own one. Cheers!
Same here! 🎉
Just joined the autumn green club, myself. Best color on the road--if I may be so bold.
Another great video! Thanks Alex!
You're welcome! thanks for watching
1. Auto Vehicle Hold
2. Memory tailgate (tailgate remembers opening height).
3. Open panoramic sunroof fully by waiting for it to stop opening, then hitting the open button again.
4. Rear windshield wiper fluid also washes rear camera lens off.
5. Reverse Automatic Breaking.
You're welcome.
Thank you so much for this video. Very helpful!!!
Thank you for the tips! Getting my new forester next week and will definitely keep these in mind!
Thank you for all the helpful information!
Great things to know. I have a 2017 Premium and it had some of these features. Thank you!!!
Thanks for the video! I'm looking to upgrade in the spring from my 2010 Forester to a 2019 forester premium and you've got me even more sold on my decision
Thank you for this info. Much appreciated!
I just found your TH-cam video. I was very happy to see how easy you explain things, so an older folk can understand and easily make the fixes/changes needed. Thank You!!!
Alex thanks so much for the great information! New viewer here and I have just let adaptive cruise on my 2020 Forester handle things when stopped behind other cars because I was clueless about AVH. So for nearly 3 years when I am the first car at a (long) light I have been putting my car in Park! Note: I have done F&I for Subaru dealers since 2006, but with a guaranteed 5 on the survey I always get short changed at delivery!!! As of now I am planning on buying out my lease in 2023 because I just cannot bear to learn another car. I always told my customers the best used car you can buy is the one YOU have been driving for three years, so I plan to practice what I preach!
You're welcome! Thanks for checking out my videos. The AVH is a great feature that so many are unaware exists. Such a convenient feature to have!
Just bought a MY23 Premium in White/black interior and I love it. Really like the attention Subaru is putting on safety for all its vehicles. Thanks for the tips btw!
We have 2019 and 2020 Foresters so I was pretty much familiar with all of the tips. One exception: the 2020 is the premium model but I was not familiar with the rear view braking. I'll be checking that out first thing tomorrow morning. Good stuff!
Absolutely fabulous!
Very helpful...THANKS!
Your videos are so informative and helpful...thank you
Great video - BIG help. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Nice video Alex! Keep them coming...
Thanks Julie 😊
Very helpful, thanks
Good info; thanks for posting.
Thank you for the helpful video, Alex. 🙂
You're welcome Sam!
Great information! Thank you.
Thanks Alex. We have a2020 forester with the package 15. Identical to the one you have in the video. So this was great for us. A few things that we did not know. Thank you
You’re welcome James!
Really well done - thanks!
Very informative. Thank you.
Great video! Thank you for the information!!
You're welcome Stacey 😊
Very Informative, thank you.
Thanks ,I appreciate this video there where a few things I didn't know you helped me with
Fantastic information I been driving Subaru for 20 plus years I never knew all that I just drive 🤪.I will need to watch it a few times as I’m waiting for my new 2022 Forester premium love your clips💜
Love my new Subaru Forester, but there are SO many great features it becomes overwhelming. I love how you break it down into manageable segments/tips. Easy to follow and understand each function you’re describing. Thanks so much!
Love my Forester, and these are some of the many reasons why. Many thanks.
Very well explained without any confusion with full demonstration and all the steps sequentially. Thank you very much. Please keep up
Informative. Thanks
We just bought our Subaru Forester. These videos are wonderful. I am learning so much from you. Thank you for making these.
Most Excellent ~ thanks a million!
Excellent as usual..very useful
Thanks! 😊
Just purchased a 2020 limited love you videos
Great job. Thanks
Great useful video. Thanks
great video! as a subaru detailer at a dealership in maine.. i know all these features and tips. great vid though!
Thanks for the tips!!! I finally know what AVH does. Brilliant!!!!!
You're welcome! It's a great feature to have
Fantastic, thank you.. from B.C Canada
How could anyone not like this video. Thanks. Super helpful.
Awesome thanks you did not know some of these features ❤️👍
Happy to help! Thanks for watching Lynda
Well done Alex! Thanks!
Thanks John!
Learnt a lot, just bought my Forester limited
I’m doing research to buy my first Subaru. Thank you for all the info on the different models.
Thank you for sharing.
You’re welcome!
#4--I did not know that. Thanks!
JUST BRILLIANT! I liked and subscribed. I’ve had my Subaru for three years, learned all six features! Thank you! I’m looking forward to learning more….
Victoria
Excellent information. Now I know that I should buy a 2016-17 instead!!! Thank you
I love your videos I'm a new delivery specialist for Subaru and these are like refreshers and there's been a couple I didn't know! Love these videos!!!
Glad I could help!
Thanks. I was using AVH as an on/off switch for each use. It's interesting how a video can better explain than just reading in the manual which has more caveats regarding when a feature will not work.
Thanks Alex 😊
Thank you for explaining! My dealer told me the features but didn’t explain them at all
Amazing
Very useful information. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
I’m a 73 year old woman and about to buy a new Forester but am going to wait until the 2024’s come out. I appreciate this video. Thank you!
I'm a 73 woman also...just bought a 2023 Forester.....so many fancy gadgets.😁 I love it. This site really helps.
Perfect colour
Great video!
Can AVH be used like Hill Star Assist? Do the new Foresters have Hill Start Assist? (No info is available on their website) I just ordered a Forster Wilderness. It’s coming in Mach.
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Thank you for sharing! Can you talk about the best used/pre-owned Subarus to buy?
Yes, I'll work on that for a future video!
thank you for information . i have forester 2021 . i wants more learning abuot that .
Hi Alex - Love these videos and I just upgraded to a 2023 Subaru Forester from a 2018 and the features have really come a long way! My question is, how can I get the speed limit to show on my upper display and/or the display in front of the wheel? I had it on a loaner and I loved it! Can't figure out how to get it on this car. I would appreciate any input from you. You're incredibly knowledgeable! Thanks.
Alex, your Subaru videos are not only informative, but so well detailed that I’m learning tons of useful stuff thanks to you.
I’m 64 yrs young 6’2 and 218 lbs, tested 😮the RAV4 and Mazda CX 5, they just didn’t feel right (too cramped and noisy) then and as luck would have it I ran into your channel here in YT, I tested the Forester and that’s what I just ordered 6 days ago, Touring model white ext and noble brown interior.
Thank you for making my decision much easier, you just got yourself another subscriber in me, I wish for you all the best and a lifetime of success ~ Cheers. 🍻
Today I test drove a CX5, Forester and Outback. Loved the Forester. I want to try a few others. Are you happy with your choice?
@@sandradee7484 Very happy with my choice, no regrets, love the cornering of the 4WD suspension on a twisting local road near by and the overall comfort and outward visibility.
Stereo System is great with the Harman Kardon, and a nice CD 💿 for my classical music, great bang for my money. 👍
@@AFMMarcelD Thank you!
@@sandradee7484 One final note for you Ms Sandra Dee; In the end it will all be subjective to your taste, liking and preferences, you cannot go wrong with today’s modern vehicles, they are all equipped with lots of safety features etc.
I actually sat and test drove the Subaru Outback as well, and although plenty of comfort once inside and leg room for my chubby frame I didn’t particularly care to bend my head sideways low enough to enter and exit vehicle every time, similar thing happened in the Mazda CX 5 which right alongside the RAV4 appeared cramped inside (for my taste anyway) road noise and jitters were also more noticeable in the CX 5 and the RAV4
Unless you wish to go Luxury, my money is in my daily driver now the 2023 Forester Touring, all the trimmings, easy access in and out, best visibility outwards and I don’t have to bend my neck to get in, Subaru has been making good progress and quality vehicles for many years now, the Forester is worth a look, ultimately you will be the one in the driver’s seat, so choose wisely and weight your likes and dislikes of each one, and whichever has the best likes in your opinion, that may be the one for you.
Best of luck to you, hope you enjoy your new vehicle, it’ll last you many years with proper care and maintenance…Cheers! 🍻
This is extremely helpful information for me Alex and the comments. Walking into a dealership as alone I want to know as much as possible, so they don’t think they can take advantage if I am more informed. I was also looking at the Corolla Crossover, but a couple videos said they didn’t prefer that car. Any information is so helpful. Thank you!!!
Just got the Forester and so impressed with the vehicle but have NO CLUE what all these buttons do. I swear I think you need a PHD to drive one these days... great video! Thanks!!... going outside to check these things out.
Thanks Alex!
You're welcome, Judi!
Just learning about my forrester that I have had for three years! Great videos.
Happy to help!
The first tip was worth a follow!! Thanks bro!
Thanks! I appreciate you!
I just recently was gifted a 2021 Forester! This video is so helpful in learning more about my car, thank you!
You’re welcome! Enjoy your new Forester!
Wifey
Alex, thanks so much for your awesome videos. I bought a new 2020 Forester Touring just before COVID began in early 2020 and I never really learned the features -- until this weekend after watching/learning from several of your videos. THANK YOU! I do have one question for you: You have a lot of good info that helped me with the RAB. The question I have -- Is there a way to turn off the RAB when my bike rack is already on? The RAB is greyed out when I start the car and put in Reverse when the bike rack is on from the start.
Happy to help! Here's a video I made showing how to turn on and off your RAB th-cam.com/video/JawWNNqYcj0/w-d-xo.html
I was wondering about this too. Thank you Kim for posting the question.
Just bought a forester! So happy to learn all this
Enjoy! 😀
I'm thinking of getting one. Are you still happy with your Forester?
This channel is a definitive go to source for information on Subaru cars 👍
Thank you! 😄
As always great Subaru videos. Just recently bought Forester to our collection with 2020 corporate Ascent. By any chance do you know if Forester sport 2020 black 18" wheels would fit on my Ascent ? Looking for spare winter wheels for my Ascent ice fishing trips
We just bought a new Subaru. It’s coming in a couple weeks all because of you thank you thank you thank you very much for your feedback we’re gonna be traded in our 2022 Chevy equinox and we’re gonna be buying a forester 2023. We love your videos learn so much thank you thank you thank you
Great video. Since Subarus last a long time, do you have videos for my 2018 Forester XT? Thanks.
Thanks for the videos. I’m 70+ and really struggling with my 2022 Forester settings. Disappointed with lack of education from dealer! The part on this video about turning reverse auto breaking is confusing and hard to follow but I doubt I’ll be changing that.
We are very happy owners of a 2022 Forester - these are very, very good 'cars' that just happen to be in the shape of an SUV . Thanks - you should also mention the auto stop/start defeat button although most of us probably know about it ...... thanks - great post .
Just WOW!
Alex, your videos are fabulous! I've been able to set up my new 2022 forester limited thanks to you. I was struggling with the book! I do have an issue with my AC; put it on max and it will blow warm air for about 2 minutes before it starts getting cold. My 2020 would cool instantly. Would you have any ideas?? Thank you!
Would love to see a video on a 2006 Subaru Forester XT!
The hatch height memory is especially useful for having a rack or dry box that is large, it’s to make sure that your rear door window doesn’t raise into your Thule, Yakima, or whatever roof storage system that you have, assuming its long enough to hang of the back of your vehicle and interfere with the full range of motion of your automatic opening of the rear door.
My canoe ;]
Haha I accidently set mine to only open about a foot... Boy did I look stupid trying to put something in back when I could not figure it how to change it haha. 6 months later, still haven't figured out how to change the setting, I've just turned it off🤔. Now I know how!
Yeah that will definitely be useful when having kayaks on the roof
We bought our new Touring Forrester last May… we LOVE LOVE LOVE OUR Subaru!
Glad you're enjoying it! Thanks for checking out my video, Rose!
Hey Alex,
Thanks for the tailgate tip. My wife is so short that she has problems reaching the button to close it.
She seldom uses my Forester, but I can adjust it to suit her
Great vid! 👍🏽 While building the Fozzie we want, I noticed that the factory Subaru remote start MSRPs at $350. So depending on how long one plans on keeping their Fozzie, that might be a better value than Starlink. Granted, Starlink gets you so much more than just remote start, but there is a hardwired alternative :)
Yep, you're exactly right. 99% of people will find that the starlink is the better bargain. The hardwire alternative is great for those who don't have a smartphone.
App name for remote
Since I live in a warm climate the only thing I care about is to be able to locate the car if it gets stolen. Sucks that I have to pay the full price of Starlink subscription just for that. I think I need to find an alternate way to track my car's location.
Hi Alex, great video, I just took delivery of my 2022 Forester. Quick question, passenger side window won't go up or down from the passenger side control but works fine from the driver side door. Any suggestions?
WOW! That sunroof feature works on my 2013 Diesel Forester (Australia) - didn't know it could open more than 3/4 !!!!
They make a diesel? Is it only available in Australia?
@@cloverdo-over2541 Subaru Outback and Foresters have been available in Australia since about 10 years ago but not now, only petrol for the last couple of years.
Sweet.
Hi Alex, I have learnt more from you than I did when I got the handover from my dealer in Brisbane. Have you done a video on the cruise control operations on a 22 Forester , as I can’t find it. Appreciate the help mate, cheers
Yes, here's a video I made on the Forester. The one in the video is a 21 but it's the same for 22. Hope this helps! th-cam.com/video/jT7CV7oVHUU/w-d-xo.html

Hi Alex. You seem to know a lot about Subaru's, so I hope you don't mind a random question. I have a 2011 Forester - 2 questions. Is there a way to disable the honking that accompanies the autostart? Also, is there a way to make it so that pushing the auto-lock while the drivers side door is open will NOT lock the doors?
Hi, I would like to see a video on 1) how to permanently “lock” a seatbelt so it’s tight and 2) installation of an infant rear facing car seat, following Subaru’s guidelines, on a 2021 Forester. That’s the model we own. And the seatbelt locking feature is important because that’s what holds the car seat in place.
Hi Alex, enjoy your video. I have a question. Why my 2020 Forester stop and go works on and off? I cannot figure on when it will be on or off.
I remember the old Subaru Sportswagon from the 80s had a hill hold feature. It meant that it wasn't necessary to use the handbrake on a hill in a manual.
Its sad this is the only thing mentioned that applies to my subaru!😂
I just bought a Forrester in July I believe it’s a 2021 model and it’s a sports package. I asked about the brake assist because my daughter had one in her Honda. The sales person told me no it did not have that. So once I get back to my car I’m going to be checking for that and I’ll be very excited to see if I have that. Thank you for these videos keep them coming.
I just got to check my car for that brake assist feature and it is there I can’t believe that the sales person didn’t know about it. It’s especially disappointing since I asked about it. Thank you once again for pointing out all these tips. As cars become so technical especially with all the computerized components and we as the consumers cannot keep up thank you for your help.
