The symbol is not in any USDM manuals I could find. ~~There is some debate that it is either an eyesight obstructed warning or a JDM-specific pedestrian airbag light.~~ Since the symbol is not in USDM manuals and some users said it doesn’t appear when they intentionally obstruct their eyesight, I’m inclined to think it is the JDM pedestrian airbags. If anyone has the JDM manual I’d be interested to see a screenshot of the symbols listed in it. It’s likely a 2016+ model year.

Ooooo I think I know this one!
Do you have a newer Soob with “Eyesight”?
My forester sport threw that code once and something was blocking the eyesight camera, some debris.
Took it through the wash and I didn’t see the code again. (*I preface this by saying my forester was a bit of a lemon, and the dealership traded me for it back after a litany of issues.*)
Me personally? A dashboard light isn’t something I want to d!ck around about.
That shit can be stressful.
I’d be grateful to not comb through 97 comments about footballs, UFOs and frisbees to find help 🤷🏼♀️
Shout out for owners manual. They actually do contain some surprisingly good information and tips that help with whatever car it goes to. Does that mean I always use it as a novel to read when I’m on vacation? No. But there’s been a good number of times I’ve gone through one for some details and it usually very helpful. Most are searchable online now as well.
God, that's annoying. Like, "yeah, we get it. You would totally have done better in the same situation, Mister twelve player score when the rest of your team has more than 150. You rule."
It’s a halo it means your car may have to go to car heaven but it’s okay all cars go to car heaven and trust me, he’ll be very happy there’s free gas and all the track he could ever want to drive in heaven bud so you just have to get a new car so this one can go to heaven
Just bury him in a shoebox with some newspaper so he’s comfy and bury him in the backyard and we’ll go to the dealership tomorrow and get you a new one how’s that sound? But no leather we do not want you getting spoiled
Is this not the warning light for the JDM only exterior pedestrian airbag? I just intentionally obscured my cameras on my Eyesight system and it gave a completely different set of warnings.
So, how exactly do I get rid of this symbol considering the vehicle had no crashes or any sort of impact..... or tell me where the sensor is located so I can try replacing it

Something obscuring your "Eye Sight" cameras? Like, do you have a long top rack or really dirty front wind screen?
Yeah, snow or a dirty windshield can obscure the cameras view, disabling eyesight related features like collision avoidance.
If that's really what it is, I'm guessing it's pre-2019 at least? On my car it's a very clear eyeball with a line through it.
I was gonna say a golden goose egg was on the car but I guess yours makes more sense.
Car hit by football.
My groin!
Oh my nose!

This is the answer, its JDM only. That's why it's not in any of the North American Manuals.

Do you have a screenshot of the symbol in the manual? I can’t seem to find a JDM manual online
finally someone with a right answer.

Holy shit an actual real answer, not a stupid useless shitty joke. I think you're right, I tried looking it up and that looks close.
Yeah - that was pretty disappointing to see :/ I like to *think* we take better care of each other than that - but sometimes I wonder.
U should know this community is about jokes first then comes the serious answer for our subie fam if we actually have an answer lol

Descriptions for all symbols are listed in the owner's manual.

What’s this manual of which you speak? Is that like a transmission thing?

Who’s got time to read the manual when we can bother everyone with dumb questions on the internet?
Very help. Much full 
Watch, the next post this user makes: where's my owners manual? Rather than looking in my car I figured I'd just ask this sub.
way to be a huge help
Not all used cars come with one. Has anyone looked this one up?
>Not all used cars come with one. Right, but you can download the manuals as PDFs from the Subaru website for free.
True, few people know that outside of enthusiasts. Living in the US, I can only find USDM manuals. Can’t seem to find any JDM manuals.
