Sta
y tuned for more details soon.
Cars due late July

New Eyesight safety features include Reverse Automatic Braking and High Beam Assist.
2017 Outbacks and Legacys with optional Eyesight get new Reverse Automatic Braking which uses 4 sensors in the back bumper to detect an object and help stop the car when going backwards. Eyesight also gets High Beam Assist to switch the headlights between high and low settings when an oncoming car is detected.

All new top of the line in Outback Touring model, with either the 2.5i and 3.6 engine, gets heated steering wheel, standard Java Brown leather interior with ivory stitching, Navigation, gloss black dash trim, dark gray front grill, dark gray machines finished 18" alloys, new silver finish, low profile roof rails, new chrome badging and lower accent trim.

4/21/16  2016 Outback, Forester, and Legacy orders end Monday 4/25
That means 2017 model information, prices, and orders will be available soon

4/11/16  2016 Forester, Outback and Legacy orders expected to close soon
Want a 2016 model? You better order it now.... the 2017s expected in July/August so 2016s orders will be closing soon.
Some models are already no longer available, such as some Forester manual transmission models.


12/16/15 new optional metal Door Edge Guards available on all models. Body colored. $139 port installed

8/12/15 2016 Outback and Legacy brochures now available at dealer

8/10/15 2016 Outback and Legacy arriving on lots, but can't be delivered due to the Stop Sale recall. See below.

8/7/15 recall on the last 2015 and first 2016 Outbacks and Legacys built, produced in July
2015 and 2016 Outback built July 3-25, 2015
2015 and 2016 Legacy built July 3-27, 2015

Due to a production problem on some (not all)  Outbacks and Legacys made in July, those vehicles cannot be delivered to owners. Its a Stop Sale recall which means affected cars cannot be sold.  It was a short three week period that these were made, but it means thats if you have a 2016 on order, it might have arrived but is sitting at the lot because it can't be delivered until the recall is performed.
Or it means that the ETA delivery date of the new car will be delayed and pushed back.
Please be patient.  Subaru will get replacement parts out as quickly as they can, and its better they fix them first before owners take possession.
"During the manufacturing process of the propeller shaft that connects to the vehicle's transmission, the seal cap and seal located inside the propeller shaft yoke may have been deformed. As a result, the seal may leak transmission fluid. If the transmission fluid leaks onto an exhaust pipe, there is a possible risk of fire. The propeller shaft will be replaced...
Parts will start to be distributed in mid August but initial supply will be limited..."
Cars already purchased, on the road and being driven will receive parts first.

7/3015 two new options
> Footwell Illumination
.
Pale blue LED for driver and passenger front footwells. $198 port installed. Previously on models prior to the 2015. A fun, ambient light. I wish Subaru had more small options like this available.
> Trunk Cargo Hooks.  Two double-sided hooks are attached to the top of the inside of the trunk and are convenient to hang grocery bags from. They fold up when not in use.  Available only with the rear cargo net for $144.
scroll down or click for the full list of 
Options
 
6/13/15  Love is Worth Waiting For... 2016 Outback and Legacy factory pre-orders.
The 2015s are in short supply, 2016s will continue to sell well once they start arriving and will be hard to get, so if you want one, order it now ...
Free for NW region only (Note- that's the NW area).  pre-orders through July 31, 2015 get Rayban sunglasses and 3 years free Starlink membership.  

What's new for 2016 Legacy


June 4 2016 Legacy models, features, and prices announced.

There are few changes for the 2016 Legacys.
All colors, models and packages remain the same except the 3.6 Limited Option Package  #22 has been dropped.

So the 3.6 Limited is only available with standard package #21, and optional Package #23 which is navigation, Eyesight, pushbutton start,  moonroof, and rear view dimming mirror with compass and Homelink.

2016 models
2.5i base model, code GAB
2.5i Premium, code GAD with Option Packages #11, #12, #13, #14, #15
2.5i Limited, with Option Packages #21, #22, #23

new for 2016 Lock/Unlock beep and light flash functions are now standard on all models
new on 2016
All models get 'retuned' steering. Retuned is a vague term and I'm not sure exactly what detailed changes are.
new on 2016 All models get new headlight 'on'  function with windshield wiper use, so the headlights are on when the front wipers are used.
new on 2016 Premium and Limited models get the new Subaru Starlink Safety Plus and Security Plus emergency connectivity system. It's free for one year.
new on 2016 Navigation/GPS includes the new Subaru Map Update Program- download updated maps annually for 3 years,  and SiriusXM navtraffic and Travel Link (weather, sports, stock market, and fuel finder) free for 3 years
new on 2016 Eyesight adds the new Lane Keep Assist function. Lane Keep Assist will help steer the vehicle back into its lane when going over 40mph. A steering wheel switch can be turned on/off by the driver.

May 2015
2016 model Outback, Legacy and Forester changes and prices will finally be announced in June, and 2016 orders will be available at that time with estimated delivery starting in August.


Its hard to make a great car better, but here's my 2016 Outback and Legacy wish list

Hopefully the 2016 Outback and Legacy will have
Rain sensing front wipers
Eyesight standard on all Limiteds
Passenger seat needs a  height adjustment
Limited model rear seat fan should have a fan speed adjustment
5 or 6 speed front wiper intermittent speeds- currently only 4 speeds.
Electric parking hill holder function should also set the parking brake when the car is put in park
Blind spot and rear cross traffic alert should be standard on all Premiums. Currently standard on Limiteds.
Climate control should have easier to read buttons and especially larger clock and outside temperature numbers
All models should have a lock/unlock Beep with on/off control. Currently only the Limited beeps when un/locked
The 3 year/36,000 mile warranty includes Roadside Assistance program which should include any Subaru the new owner has!
Drop the 6.2" radio completely, and make the 7" system standard or all models. Either that, or really improve the 6.2' audio system. The 7" system is significantly better than the 6.2"
More small accessories are needed to personalize a car: bring back optional under-car puddle lights, interior ambient and dash lights, factory front and rear bumper corner anti-scuff moldings, front hood protector etc etc
Keyless access fobs should each be a different color to help owners identify their key, and the key fobs need a simple Off/disable setting to lock it in a car when swimming etc instead of wrapping it in tin foil, or the impossible to use pin code access system.


5/21/15 2015 Outback, Legacy and Forester orders close Tuesday May 26 at 2pm EST

At last, some news.  well at least some news about coming news and 2016 models.
2016 model Outback, Legacy and Forester changes and prices will finally be announced in June, and 2016 orders will be available at that time.

2016 MAINTENANCE and SERVICE SCHEDULE
subject to change, correction, updates. Tips and corrections welcomed

see your local servicing dealer for full details and coverage on your specific car
-

 click for the full 2016 maintenance schedule

Break-in period  for the first 1000 miles
Don't race the engine, keep RPMs under 4,000 for the most part and vary the speeds with normal city/highway driving.
2.5L models- the first oil change is required at 6000 miles or 6 months. Its recommended to do it around  3months/3,000 miles.
3.6R  models- the first oil change is required at 3months/3,000 miles.

Always....
Always let a cold engine briefly idle as the oil circulates.
Avoid hard acceleration on a cold engine.
Check the oil between changes
 

from the owner's manual
Some engine oil will be consumed while driving. Under the following conditions, oil consumption can be increased and thus require refilling between maintenance intervals:
> When the engine is new and within the break-in period
> When the engine oil is of lower quality
> When the incorrect oil viscosity is used
> When engine braking is employed
> When the engine is operated at high engine speeds
> When the engine is operated under heavy loads
> When towing a trailer
> When the engine idles for long periods of time
> When the vehicle is operated in stop and go and/or heavy traffic situations
> When the vehicle is used under severe thermal conditions
> When the vehicle accelerates and decelerates frequently
Under these or similar conditions, you should check your oil at least every 2nd fuel fill-up and change your engine oil more frequently. If your oil consumption rate is greater than 1 quart every 1,200 miles or 1 liter every 2,000 kilometers, contact your Subaru dealer who may perform a test under controlled conditions.

All Wheel Drive
Full time all wheel drive.
with Active Torque Vectoring which modulates inner front wheel when vehicle is turning. Was new on the 2015s
Blind Spot and Rear Vehicle Detection System
(side/rear radar system)

Blind Spot and Rear Vehicle Detection System
standard on Limiteds, optional on Premiums

(was new on 2015s)
includes
Blind Spot Detection (BSD) will illuminate a orange colored warning symbol in the exterior mirror when it detects a vehicle alongside and behind the Subaru vehicle, in an area of about 22 feet x 11 feet. If the driver signals a lane change to that side, the warning symbol in the mirror will flash
Lane Change Assist (LCA) looks for vehicles farther back in an adjacent lane – about 220 feet behind the Subaru vehicle. If the vehicle detected is approaching quickly – at a speed that could bring it alongside the Subaru vehicle within a few seconds – Lane Change Assist will illuminate a warning icon in the exterior mirror on that side. If the driver signals a lane change, the warning icon in the mirror will flash rapidly
 Rear Cross Traffic Alert (warns of vehicles approaching when you're backing out of a parking spot).
The Subaru Rear Vehicle Detection (SRVD) system uses two radar units, each mounted underneath the sheet metal immediately below the rear taillights. To help avoid damage, the radar units are purposely mounted above the typical bumper impact line.
The radar units send out signals to detect vehicles behind and to each side of the Subaru vehicle, especially those vehicles that might not be visible in the rearview mirrors.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) uses the same radars and sensors to help detect vehicles that cannot be seen by the driver as they approach from either side. This is especially helpful when reversing from between two larger vehicles. The driver is alerted by a flashing icon in the appropriate exterior mirror, a flashing icon in the rear vision camera display, as well as an audible alert


Eyesight
Optional on Premium and Limited
new for 2016 with 'Lane Keep Assist's

3rd generation Eyesight.
2nd year for this version.

new for 2016 Lane Keep Assist, with driver controlled on/off switch on the steering wheel

Eyesight is Active cruise control, Lane departure warning, lane departure steering (lane keep assist), Pre-collision warning and/or braking.
 
> On/off buttons on the driver control panel by the driver's left knee except for Lane Keep Assist on the steerring wheel
> Steering responsive fog lights- included with Eyesight- uses the steering wheel position to briefly turn on the left or right foglight to illuminate into the corner when the vehicle is turning. The fog lights have to be off for the system to turn them on. so if the fog lights are already on, speed responsive function wont do anything.
> Active Cruise Control combines the benefits of cruise control with active monitoring of the road ahead. It issues warnings and activates automatic braking when needed. Adaptive Cruise Control can regulate vehicle speed in order to keep a safe following distance from the vehicle ahead. It does not replace conventional cruise control, which can still be used when desired.
> Pre-Collision Braking can recognize an impending collision, alert the driver and automatically apply the brakes to help avoid a collision or minimize the impact when a collision is inevitable. Speed differential with the object up to 30mph
 > Pre-Collision Brake Assist-  If Eyesight recognizes an impending collision and the driver is applying the brakes but not with enough force, Pre-Collision Brake Assist automatically applies up to full braking pressure in order to try to shorten braking distances.
> Pre-Collision Throttle Management is designed to help prevent drivers from accelerating into a stopped vehicle or other obstacle in front of them. It warns the driver and reduces engine power until he or she applies the brakes to avoid an impact.
> Lead Vehicle Start Alert is a helpful EyeSight feature that alerts the driver when his or her vehicle remains stopped after a vehicle in front has started to move away.
> new for 2016 Lane Keep Assist will help steer the vehcile back into its lane at speeds over 40mph. So its not intended for lower speed or city driving. There is an on/off switch on the steering wheel do the driver can disable this function. 
> Lane Departure Warning alerts drivers when they unintentionally move out of their travel lane. It takes no corrective vehicle action other than issuing visual and audible warnings.
> Lane Sway Warning acts in a similar way, detecting unusual back and forth vehicle movement within the lane of travel. Lane Departure Warning works at all speeds, while Lane Sway Warning only operates at speeds over 32 mph.


Eyesight cars have three windshield washer squirters, with the middle one to clean in front of the cameras.
The camera’s field of view is about 35 degrees horizontally from the center of the windshield.
The camera’s field of vision extends up to about 360 feet in front of the vehicle, but objects very close to the vehicle may not be detected
EyeSight works to recognize obstacles up to about a 30-mph (or less) speed differential. Essentially, EyeSight needs time to recognize an object or potential obstacle. If the speed difference between the EyeSight vehicle and the object is greater than up to 30 mph, the object will likely not be detected
.
Note- do not touch or try to clean the EyeSight camera lenses. It is imperative that extra precaution be used when cleaning the inside of the windshield, because over-spray from cleaners may impair or even damage the cameras’ lenses, which is not a warranty issue

EDR, Event Data Recorder information.
 In the event of an impact, the EDR will freeze data including how various systems were operating, for example if seatbelts were buckled, if the gas or brake pedals were pressed, and vehicle speed. No personal data is stored. To read data, special equipment is required. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer (Subaru), other parties such as law enforcement that have the equipment can read the information if they have access to the vehicle or EDR.  Existing laws generally provide that information in an EDR is confidential and is the property of the owner of the motor vehicle. Information is accessed through the airbag system using a Subaru service computer.

VDC, Traction control: VDC Vehicle Dynamics Control (electronic stability control) plus TCS traction control system
VDC is standard on all models. VDC vehicle dynamics control, is an electronic stability control system that measures and monitors steering wheel input, braking, vehicle angle etc and then applies individual brakes and/or reduces engine power to counteract skids or slides to help keep maintain driver control.
TCS traction control system electronically sensing spinning wheels and uses the brakes to slow the spinning wheel.
new for 2015 Incline Start assist- briefly prevents the vehicle from rolling back as the driver moves their foot from the brake to the gas. Note- this is only for 1.5 seconds, and is not the same as the electric parking brake's Hill Holder function

Emissions
PZEV is required in  CA, CT, DE, MA, MD, ME, NJ, NY, OR, PA, RI, VT, WA
 here is a brief, simple summary.
PZEV is Partial Zero Emission Vehicle.
The EPA says PZEV is the cleanest running gas car on today's market based on emissions testing for carbon-containing compounds, oxides of nitrogen, particulate matter, and other tailpipe nastiness.
What it does
1. A charcoal canister catches unburned gas left in the engine when it's turned off so it doesn't evaporate. 
2. Fuel injectors close tighter when they're not in use.
3. It has a finer mesh in the catalytic converter, as well as optimized placement of precious metal.
4. The engine's electronic brain is set to run hotter at start up so the catalytic converter heats up faster.
PZEV is not available or required on the 3.6L
Brakes
new larger and vented rear disc for 2015 2.5L model
4 wheel disc, 4 channel anti-lock, low wear indicator
Brake override system stops car if both brake and gas pedals are pressed.
Brake assist for maximum brake pressure
Electric parking brake with auto release and Hill Holder functions

new for 2015 Incline Start assist- briefly prevents the vehicle from rolling back as the driver moves their foot from the brake to the gas. Note- this is only for 1.5 seconds, and is not the same as the electric parking brake's Hill Holder function

2.5L models
front: 11.6" ventilated front disc with dual caliper piston 
rear: 11.8" ventilated rear disc with single piston caliper


3.6L model
front: 12.4" ventilated front disc with dual caliper piston
rear: 11.8" ventilated rear disc with single piston caliper

note: some Subaru websites might still have 2014 Legacy disc sizes
Parking brake
new for 2015- the electric parking brake button and Hill Holder buttons have been moved to the center console
All models use an Electric Parking Brake with Auto Release and Hill Holder. 

Auto release function- wear seatbelt, step on brake pedal, put car in gear, lightly press gas pedal. 
The system makes a mild sound as it activates or releases the brake so you know its working.

To use in as emergency brake lightly pull or hold the brake button UP but only in an serious emergency when you cannot normally brake!
This will cause your rear wheels to lock so be very careful.

Pull the brake button UP to activate the brakes, push it down to release them.
Hill Holder Brake system

hillholder function
If the Hill Holder function is turned on, when you restart the car it is on (new on 2013 model).
new for 2015, the Hill Holder button is on the center console
The Hill Holder brake system is standard on all models. 
It uses the electric parking brake.
The system can be turned on by pressing the Hill Holder button in the center console.
A green image of a car on an incline is in the upper right dash comes on (see image).
When stopping on a hill 5% or steeper, either going forward up or backwards down a hill,  the Hill Holder activates the electric parking brake and holds the car from rolling.
Stepping on the gas releases the brake so the car will move.
Makes a mild sound as it activates or releases so you know its working
Works going up or backwards down an incline. 
Note: if you are already stopped on an incline and did not press the Hill Holder button, press the Parking Brake button - it works exactly the same.

What is...

HD radio

HD Radio is free. its a digital radio broadcast signal with 'subchannels' of the main channel you are listening to.
The ‘HD’ in ‘HD Radio’ is part of iBiquity Digital’s brand name for its digital AM and FM radio technology.
HD is not an acronym for either hybrid digital or high definition, it is simply the name for this technology.
HD Radio broadcasting is free, there are no subscription fees.
The HD channels are not particularly strong, so you might lose the signal in garages or in mountains or downtown between buildings.
The service includes iTunes Tagging which lets you capture information about a song on the radio and store it on your Apple device by pushing the "Tag" button on the HD Radio receiver. When your device is connected to iTunes, a list of tagged songs will appear which can be purchased.

SUBARU STARLINK Connected Safety and Convenience Services

if you have a
Outback Premium and Limited
Legacy Premium, Limited
Forester 2.5 Premium, Limited, Touring, 2.0XT Premium, 2.0XT Touring
note: not on base model Outback 2,5i, base Legacy 2.5i, or Forester base 2.5i model


Helps with notification in an emergency accident/collision, if you're locked out, lost, car is stolen, broken down, with emergency services, and with mechanical issues and notification.

Important Note- this system does NOT work if the car's battery is dead, so in the event of a dead battery or an accident where the battery is dislodged, have your cellphone handy because the Starlink won't work.

There are 3 SiriusXM staffed call centers in the U.S.
AT&T provides the cellular service for emergency (red SOS button) and user requested roadside assistance (blue button) services via an integrated 4G phone connection. The phone has a lithium backup battery so it has power in the event of an accident. The red and blue buttons are in the overhead console. The car does need to be in an area with AT&T cell coverage for the connection to work (check coverage at http://att.com/maps/wireless-coverage.html).

Sirius/XM provides the telematics


Android and Apple phones use the Starlink app for infotainment, and then either the MySubaru app or online at MySubaru.com for connected vehicle services and account information.
So if you have an iphone or android, download both the Subaru Starlink and MySubaru apps

Your Dealer/salesperson will sign you up at time of vehicle purchase for the free year, or see your dealer/salesperson to purchase services later,  or sign up on mysubaru.com

Pin Code Access on Outback and Legacy.
Requires OPTIONAL Keyless Access with Pushbutton Start
A back-up lock/unlock system so you can lock and unlock the doors when you don't have a key fob handy.
To use it, you first program in a series or 5 digits by repeatedly pushing the Legacy's trunk lock button the same number of times as each number in the series you select.
To lock/unlock the car, you then tap the trunk button the same number of time as you programmed in.
Note- the PIN Code Access will be helpful if the key is accidentally left in the vehicle.

To register a 5-digit security Pin Code
1. Close all doors
2. Press and hold the button on the access key. Then all doors will be locked.
3. Keep the button pressed, and press the trunk opener button within 5 seconds after step 2.
4. Press and hold the above button for more than 5 seconds. Then a chirp will sound.
5. Press the button on the access key while the chirp sounds. Then the chirp will stop and the preparation is complete

For example, to register 32468 as the PIN code, perform the following procedure....
1. Press the trunk opener button three times for the first digit (a 3) in this example
2. After a buzzer (ding) sounds once, press the trunk opener button twice for the second digit (a 2)
3. After a buzzer (ding) sounds once, press the trunk opener button four times for the 4.
4. After a buzzer (ding) sounds once, press the trunk opener button six times for the 6
5. After a buzzer (ding) sounds once,press the trunk opener button eight times for the 8.
6. Perform steps 1 to 5 again within approximately 30 seconds after the buzzer starts sounding intermittently.
7. All doors will be unlocked and locked.
Then the PIN code will be registered.

If you make an error during the registration procedure, open the driver’s door and then close it.
Then start over from the procedure described in Preparation>
To protect your vehicle from theft,you  cannot register 5 digit codes such as 00000, 11111 to 99999, or 12345. Do not register your vehicle license plate number or simple numbers such as11122 or 12121. Doing so will increase the risk of vehicle theft

You cannot unlock by PIN Code Access in the following cases
- when the access key is within the operating ranges
- when the ignition switch is in the ACC or ON position
- If you make an operation error during the unlocking procedure, start over with the unlocking procedure after waiting for 5 seconds or longer.
- To protect your vehicle from theft, a buzzer will sound if incorrect PIN codes are entered five times continuously. If this occurs, you cannot unlock the doors by PIN Code Access for 5 minutes.

NOTE:
disable the Outback and Legacy keyless access proximity key in order to hide it in the car when camping, swimming, skiing, biking: remove the emergency key to carry with you to get back in the car (yes the alarm will go off when you open the door until you unwrap the proximity key), wrap the proximity key in foil, then hide it and hope no one finds it and steals the car.

How to order a Subaru


Subarus are popular cars and some models can very difficult to get and sometimes the car you want isn't on the lot.
Hopefully there's more than one color or model you'll be happy with.

 
But... when there's no car, the choices are:
waiting and hoping the right car shows up one day,
compromising on what you want,

your dealer finds and can get a car from another local dealer

or .... you can always factory order to get what you want!

Its all easy.
Here's how it works

You and the salesperson work through the model, option package, color, and accessories, and agree on a price for the car.
Placing the order is easy - dealers have access to Subaru's quick online form. Its just a few fast, simple, pages.
The order form needs the details on the car, and the buyer's name, address, phone and email.
Yes, Subaru expects the dealer to collect a deposit when the order is placed.

When a car is ordered
Orders are allocated in the beginning of the month and take around 2 full months, but it depends on the model and it can be shorter or longer.
When an order is placed, the dealer will get a VON- vehicle order number- unless there's a car already in the system that can be adapted to fit the order and then there might be a VIN.
ETA- estimated time of arrival-, the usual fresh order ETA will probably be a generic "last week of (month)" which will generally be the end of the 2nd full month after the order is placed.
The ETA will change as time passes, and eventually there will be a VIN and an exact ETA date, though that date is subject to, and frequently does, change.

Please be sure this is the right car and you're willing to wait. Cancelled orders can affect a dealer's supply.
Your dealer or salesperson should check the ETA from time to time and notify you of any changes.
The dealer wants you to get the car as soon as possible but doesn't control the ETA.

The car arrives with protective plastic on the upper surfaces. The dealer service dept will need to do a PDI (pre-delivery inspection), and then the car will be cleaned for the agreed pick-up time.

Note that Interest rates and lease programs are what is current when the car is picked up and contracts signed, when its actually purchased, not when the car is ordered. Subaru announces interest rates and lease programs monthly. And trade values can change over the order time. The trade will be checked when the purchase is completed. Subaru's GTP - guaranteed trade program - is good for late model Subaru trade-ins. Its on www.Subaru.com > for owners. Have your VIN handy.

And you'll get the car you want!
