Equipment

Steering Responsive Headlights (SRH)
When rounding a curve at night, the illumination direction of the headlights move left or right according to the steering wheel to ensure visibility.

18-inch Aluminium-alloy Wheels
2.0XT and 2.5i-S models are equipped with multi-spoke 18-inch aluminium-alloy wheels and 225/55R18 tyres.

Automatic Rain-sensing Windshield Wipers
Available automatic windshield wipers detect rainfall on the glass and adjust their wiping intervals and speed accordingly.

Headlamp Washers
Pop-up washers use a high-pressure spray to help keep the headlamps at their peak performance in poor weather.

Fog Lamps
Multi-reflector fog lamps also serve as daytime running lights, and emit a wide, flat beam that reflects less glare in fog, for added safety.

Power Glass Sunroof
The large, internally sliding sunroof with manual sunshade delivers a panoramic view and fresh breezes for front and rear passengers.

Aluminium Pedals
Select models feature sporty and stylish aluminium pads studded with grips and fitted to the pedals and driver’s footrest.

Cruise Control
One-touch control allows the driver to set and maintain a steady cruising speed, convenient for long-distance driving on open motorways.

8-way Power Adjustable Driver’s Seat
This allows you to find a comfortable seating position by 8-way power adjustment. In models with leather interior, a 2-seat position memory function has been added.

Three 12V Power Outlets
Auxiliary power is at your fingertips with a 12-volt power outlet located in the centre console, centre console box and cargo space.

One-touch Folding Switches
Switches in the cargo area automatically fold each of the 60/40 split rear seatbacks, expanding the luggage space with remarkable ease.

Dual-zone Automatic Air-conditioning System
This feature conveniently helps keep the temperature inside where you want it. It also allows the driver and front passenger to set different temperatures.

Side View Monitor
The Side View Monitor projects an image from the camera installed in the passenger-side side view mirror via the Multifunction Display, reducing your blind spot and making street parking a breeze.

Rear View Camera
When the driver shifts into Reverse, the camera displays a live colour image on the in-dash display, along with guidelines to assist in parking manoeuvres.

High-grade Multifunction Display
Located conveniently in the instrument panel, informative car vitals are displayed at a touch of a button. It also features advanced environmental performance and efficiency—even allowing you to compare the efficiency between different trips.

Touchscreen Control
Use the touchscreen to easily manage your music, just as you would on your smartphone. Simply connect your smartphone through Bluetooth®*1 or the USB port, and you can choose your music right on the touchscreen.

Premium Audio System with Harman/Kardon Speakers
The 8-speaker, 440W system was designed for ultimate sound performance. Two oval-shaped speakers are placed in the front doors and two speakers are installed at the rear doors.

Voice Recognition*2 and Siri Eyes Free*3*4
Your Forester has more hands-free options than ever before, thanks to intuitive Voice Recognition*2 and Siri Eyes Free*3*4 integration. Use Siri to link your compatible Apple*3 product to your Forester, allowing you to make hands-free calls, play music, check emails and search the web.
