Does a 2015 Subaru Legacy have cruise control?
Yes. The 2015 Subaru Legacy has cruise control on all trims. Beyond that, Subaru offered EyeSight with adaptive cruise control (ACC) as an optional upgrade on many models that year.
In this article, we examine what cruise control means for the 2015 Legacy, how it differs from adaptive cruise control, and how availability varies by trim and option packages. This should help buyers and owners understand what to expect from a 2015 Legacy in terms of speed control technology.
Cruise control: How it works in the 2015 Legacy
Here is a concise look at cruise control availability and usage across the 2015 Legacy lineup.
- Standard cruise control on every 2015 Legacy model, allowing you to set and maintain a chosen steady speed without manual throttle input.
- Activation typically involves pressing the cruise control button on the steering wheel, accelerating to the desired speed, and pressing the SET/SET+ switch to lock in that speed.
- Deactivation can be done by tapping the brake, pressing CANCEL, or using the steering-wheel control; you can usually resume speed with RES/SET when appropriate.
In summary, basic cruise control is a standard feature across the 2015 Legacy lineup, providing conventional speed management on highways and open roads.
Adaptive cruise control and EyeSight in the 2015 Legacy
Adaptive cruise control (ACC) is part of Subaru’s EyeSight Driver Assist Technology and was offered as an optional upgrade on many 2015 Legacy trims.
- Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) uses EyeSight’s cameras to automatically slow down or accelerate to maintain a safe following distance from vehicles ahead.
- Availability depended on the trim and optional EyeSight package; ACC was not universally standard across all trims in 2015.
- Compared to basic cruise control, ACC adds following-distance control and automatic speed adjustments under appropriate conditions, enhancing highway driving convenience and safety.
- Limitations apply: ACC may perform differently in heavy traffic, at high speeds, or in adverse weather, and it may disengage if sensors are compromised or conditions warrant it.
For prospective buyers or owners, confirm ACC availability on a specific car by checking the listed equipment orVIN; if you want only basic cruise control, every 2015 Legacy includes it, while ACC depends on the EyeSight package.
Summary
In short, the 2015 Subaru Legacy does come with cruise control across all trims. Adaptive cruise control via EyeSight was optional and not universal in 2015, meaning some models offered ACC while others did not. If ACC is a priority, verify EyeSight inclusion on the specific vehicle or trim you’re considering. Both features reflect Subaru’s emphasis on driver assistance and highway convenience for that model year.
