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,

for the EyeSight system.
When the system monitors that the driver
may be inattentive, it warns the driver.
