Subaru Forester/Hybrid | How-To Use Auto Vehicle Hold

Give your brake foot a rest with Auto Vehicle Hold on your Subaru Forester. AVH holds your vehicle in place after you come to a complete stop, which makes stop-and-go traffic and drive-thru lines a little easier. This video shows you how to turn AVH on, what the indicator icons in the meter display mean, how to drive forward again, and why you should turn it off before entering a car wash. Auto Vehicle Hold is not a substitute for the parking brake. Applies to model years: 2026, 2027 Find more owner resources here: Stay up to date on Subaru by following us on social:
