EyeSight Technology

EyeSight technology represents the culmination of decades of Subaru's safety research and innovation. Combining multiple features like adaptive cruise control, lane change assist and front crash prevention, EyeSight delivers outstanding safety and control. As a result, when equipped with EyeSight, every Subaru model receives the highest possible front crash test score of "Top Safety Pick +" from the IIHS. 

How it EyeSight Safety Technology Works

EyeSight uses dual colored cameras nestled near the rearview mirror to constantly scan the road for dangers that a human eye might miss. This provides a number of benefits to those inside the vehicle. EyeSight can detect the cars in front of you, allowing the cruise control to adapt to the changing speed of other vehicles on the road. The technology also monitors your position on the road, and will alert you if you venture out of your lane. 

To avoid collisions, EyeSight has more tricks up its sleeve. In an emergency, it will alert the driver and will automatically apply full braking to prevent or minimize a front end crash. Additionally, if EyeSight detects an object that you are likely to hit, it will reduce the engine power to decrease the possible impact force and mitigate front end vehicle damage. 

A Well Rounded Set of Safety Features

Subaru offers a few other important safety features along with EyeSight, including a rear vision camera equipped with a rear cross traffic alert system. Not only can you see what's happening behind you as you back up, but the vehicle will also alert you if another car or pedestrian is about to cross behind you from off screen. 

Blind spot detection further enhances your ability to know what's happening everywhere around your car, even if you can't see it with your own eyes. Subaru's blind spot detection feature sees where you can't and alerts you if there is a car in your blind spot. With all of these features, it's no wonder that Subaru vehicles consistently receive top safety ratings from the IIHS.
