Subaru’s award-winning suite of car safety features, named EyeSight Driver Assist Technology, is designed to enhance how rapidly you notice and respond to all manner of road hazards. You can see the full range of driver-assist features in action at your Bay Area Subaru dealership. In the meantime, here are a few of the best features included in the EyeSight safety suite.
Dual Color EyeSight Cameras
Modern Subaru vehicles with the EyeSight system have a set of cameras unobtrusively clustered close to the rearview mirror. These high-grade cameras continuously scan the road in great detail. Using them, your car can rapidly detect any potential collision hazards, alerting you and sometimes reacting automatically to avoid or mitigate an accident.
Pre-Collision Braking
The most common car accidents are forward collisions. Whenever a Subaru detects a potential frontal impact, it alerts the driver and can then apply just the right amount of braking force to safely prevent the collision from happening. This may be a full emergency braking force if required.
Pre-Collision Throttle Management
Oftentimes, when forward collision threats are detected, emergency braking isn’t necessary to avoid it. Your Subaru can determine whether to automatically apply the brakes, manage the throttle to reduce engine power and slow your car, or do both at once.
Lane Keep Assist
When a driver is tired, accidentally straying into a neighboring lane becomes a collision threat on busy highways. Your Subaru can monitor lane markers and notice if you begin to wander toward another lane. It then provides a clear alert to make you aware of the danger.
Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control
One way to reduce driving fatigue and stay fresh and alert for longer on the road is to utilize Subaru’s Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control feature. You can preset a distance to be maintained from the vehicles ahead and then allow your car to take over the steering, brakes, and acceleration.
Once activated, the cruise control feature will keep your car at the predetermined distance from vehicles ahead of you. It will also keep your car safely in its lane by adjusting the steering.
