EyeSight

Subaru is committed to driver safety, and that was the key objective behind the development of EyeSight, as avoiding a collision is the best way to remain safe on the road. Subaru’s EyeSight has been enhanced further, and the two stereo cameras now capture three-dimensional color images with exceptional clarity to accurately detect vehicles, motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrians and even lane markers on the road. Fine-tuned for faster collision avoidance, pre-collision steering assist and even better adaptive cruise control, the EyeSight system assists the driver with audible warnings and braking control, which helps to reduce driving fatigue and increase peace of mind on the road.

Adaptive Cruise Control (*1)

EyeSight has transformed the concept of traditional cruise control. The stereo cameras operate in concert with the engine, transmission and braking systems to ensure that the vehicle remains a set distance behind the vehicle in front, making adjustments for distance. The system is also extremely convenient on long drives or peak hour traffic even in stop-and-go movement.
*1 Adaptive Cruise Control is a driving support system designed for to make driving on highways or expressways. The above feature may not operate as expected depending on various conditions including the road, weather, and vehicle. This system does not provide the driver with an automatic driving function that is capable of handling all traffic conditions. Drivers must remember not to exceed posted speed limits. The adaptive cruise control range differs depending on the country.

Lane Sway and Departure Warning

Driving fatigue can lead to a driver unintendedly swaying around their lane. When the system detects that and the vehicle’s speed is approximately 60 km/h or more, EyeSight provides the driver with an audible warning and indicator light to help stay on track. The driver also will be alerted if the system detects that the vehicle does begin to stray into the next lane when driving at a certain speed.

Lead Vehicle Start Alert

EyeSight helps drivers keep up with the flow of traffic by emitting and a sound and a flashing light if the vehicle remains stationary when it detects that the vehicle in front has taken off and traffic has started moving and other conditions are met.

Pre-collision Throttle Management (*3)

If the driver mistakenly selects drive instead of reverse when the vehicle is stopped or traveling very slowly, and EyeSight detects an object in front of the vehicle, Pre-collision Throttle Management emits warnings, flashes the lamp and restricts engine output. This may help the driver avoid a nasty mishap at the front.
*3 The system may not be activated depending on the shape or visibility of walls or objects in front of the vehicle.

When a warning is activated, drivers should pay attention to what is in front of the vehicle and the surroundings, operate the brake pedal and take other action as necessary.
– There are limits to the EyeSight recognition and control performance in addition to the outline provided here. Drivers must be sure to read the owner’s manual for each function before using the system, and always use it properly. Improper use may lead to failure of control performance, which could cause an accident.
