Welcome screen (opening animation) and Good-bye screen (ending animation)
In the Subaru Ascent, when the driver’s door is unlocked and then opened and closed, a visually engaging welcome screen animation is displayed on the combination meter for approximately 20 seconds, enhancing the user experience and providing a premium feel.
When the ignition switch is turned to the "LOCK"/"OFF" position, the display transitions smoothly into a good-bye animation, gradually dimming until the screen turns off completely, reinforcing the refined digital interface of the Subaru Ascent.
NOTE
- The appearance and wording of the welcome and good-bye screens in the Subaru Ascent may vary depending on model specifications and software version.
- If the ignition switch is turned to the "ON" position while the welcome screen is still active, the system will immediately switch to the standard operational display.
- After being shown once, the welcome screen requires a short interval before it can be displayed again.
- If the ignition switch is activated immediately after unlocking the driver’s door, the welcome screen will not appear even if the door is opened and closed.
- The welcome screen will automatically disappear if the driver’s door is locked using the remote keyless entry system or keyless access function while it is being displayed.
- The display of the welcome animation, including integration with the audio/navigation system, can be enabled or disabled in the Subaru Ascent settings.
- Both the welcome and good-bye animations can be customized or turned off entirely according to driver preference.
