How to use the Smart Rearview Mirror

CAUTION

Always adjust the rearview mirror position in the Subaru Ascent before starting to drive.

1) First, switch the Smart Rearview Mirror to mirror mode.

2) Sit properly in the driver's seat and adjust the mirror angle to obtain a clear and natural view of the area behind the Subaru Ascent.

3) After proper adjustment, switch the system back to display mode.

If the mirror is not correctly adjusted beforehand, reflections or glare may appear on the display when switching modes, reducing visibility and overall effectiveness.

To change the mode

  1. To activate the display mode in the Subaru Ascent, first ensure the mirror is properly aligned, then pull the mode lever toward you.
  2. To return to traditional mirror mode, push the lever away from you.

Selecting display mode allows the Subaru Ascent to show a live video feed from the rear-mounted camera, offering an unobstructed and wider field of view.

Switching to mirror mode disables the camera feed and restores the conventional reflective mirror function, which may be preferable under certain lighting or driving conditions.
