10 Secret Subaru Functions Only 1% of Drivers Know About

Your Subaru is hiding functions you already paid for — and only about 1% of owners ever find them. No upgrades, no dealer visit, no money. They were built into your car at the factory, and the owner's manual buries them on page two hundred where nobody looks. In this video we count down 10 secret Subaru functions, from the simple trick that stops you curbing your wheels to the one feature most owners only ever switch on by accident. You'll learn how to make your mirror aim itself at the curb every time you reverse, how to use Auto Vehicle Hold so your foot can finally rest at a red light, and how X-MODE's Hill Descent Control walks you down a steep, wet driveway or boat ramp with your feet off the pedals. We also get into the EyeSight Lane Centering function that actually steers for you on the highway, the winter features that de-ice your wipers and mirrors on their own, and the one climate button almost everybody uses wrong. Number one is the big one: how to drive your Subaru's CVT in manual mode — what it really does, why it protects your transmission and your brakes on long descents, and why it can't hurt your car no matter what you've heard. Whether you drive an Outback, Forester, Crosstrek, Impreza, Legacy, Ascent, or WRX, most of these work on your Subaru right now. Try a few of them today, then tell me in the comments: what number were you on when you realized you'd never used it? And if these were hiding in plain sight, the factory default settings quietly costing you fuel and brake life are next — subscribe so you don't miss that one.
