How Subaru EyeSight Works

Subaru EyeSight® utilizes two color cameras, located in the rearview mirror of your new Subaru model, to analyze the road and interpret what may potentially happen next. Movement in traffic is a key focus of this analysis, with settings that adjust based on developments. Visual and audible alerts keep you aware of other car's presence consistently, with intervention features such as pre-collision braking to help prevent collisions from occurring when an impending impact is detected.

Active Safety Features Explained

A plethora of active safety features, part of the Subaru EyeSight® driver-assist package, work in conjunction with one another to help keep both you and your family members safe. The following is a brief outline of these included highlights, along with a synopsis of how they specifically operate:

  • Lane Keep Assist and Sway Warning: When your vehicle begins to veer off course and an unexpected transition from your lane is detected, this system will make you aware of the issue to correct your vehicle's positioning in real time
  • Pre-Collision Braking: Do you recall a time that the vehicle you trail brakes seemingly out of nowhere, forcing you to immediately react? With pre-collision braking, these forward collision impacts are anticipated, with built-in braking mechanics to intervene as needed in these moments
  • Pre-Collision Throttle Management: Decrease your engine's power output to help mitigate a detected collision impact, helping reduce the level of damage and safety hazards that an accident situation may pose
  • Adaptive Cruise Control: Choose a distance that you feel comfortable with when trailing a vehicle on the interstate and turn adaptive cruise control on. This system will adjust speed accordingly, so the length between both vehicles is optimal and comfortable
