Subaru Forester: Automatic climate control customization (for type B and C) / Occupant detection
This mode switches the climate control
operation according to the number of
passengers.
Front occupant detection
This mode detects passenger by the
occupant detection system sensor when
there is no front passenger in the seat. The
setting temperature will be changed to the
driver’s setting temperature automatically.
NOTE
The occupant detection system sensor
may not detect passengers because of
their posture, physical size or weight.
The front occupant detection function
may not operate properly.
Rear occupant detection
This function judges if there are any
passenger in the rear seat by the opening
and closing record of rear doors. If there
are no passenger in the rear seat, the
airflow of the climate control is reduced and priority is on the front seat
passenger.
NOTE
If the system cannot judge correctly if
there are passengers or not in the rear
seat by the opening and closing of the
rear door, such as when the doors are
opened to place some cargo in the
vehicle, the rear occupant detection
may not operate properly.
