I own a 2019 Forrester with EyeSight. While I dont hate it, and I like the adaptive cruise, I'm curious..

How exactly do you easily override the crash detection logic? I've had it slam on the brakes spuriously due to steam from manhole vents, and short of disabling the feature (which cant be done in a way that sticks between starts) I dont know how I would avoid this behavior, particularly easily.

Read the manual. You should be able to explicitly turn these off for car wash, etc. They’ll be on again the next time you start.

Oh sorry, I meant that part to refer to the lane detection and adaptive cruise braking. Let me clarify.

I haven't had a fake brake yet and I've driven over quite a bit of steam myself so I guess I got lucky.
