Subaru EyeSight is a driver-assistance system that uses forward-facing sensing to monitor traffic and help support the driver in situations covered by the system. Depending on the vehicle and EyeSight version, functions can include pre-collision braking, adaptive cruise control, lane-related warnings or assistance and other driver-support technologies.
EyeSight is designed as a driver-assistance system, not an autonomous driving system. The driver remains responsible for steering, braking, maintaining attention and operating the vehicle safely. Exact features and operation can vary by Subaru model, trim and model year.
The system combines several driver-assistance functions rather than relying on one feature alone.
In qualifying situations, the system can warn the driver and provide braking assistance when it detects a potential forward collision. It is intended to supplement the driver's response, not replace it.
When equipped and activated, adaptive cruise control can help maintain a selected following distance from traffic ahead while the driver continues to supervise the vehicle.
Depending on the EyeSight version and vehicle, the system can provide lane departure warnings and/or steering assistance intended to help the driver remain within the lane.
Feature availability and operation can vary by model, trim and model year. Use the vehicle's owner's materials and Subaru's current specifications for the exact equipment on a particular vehicle.
| Feature | What It Does | Driver's Role |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-Collision Braking | Can provide warnings and braking assistance in qualifying forward-collision situations | Remain attentive and brake when necessary |
| Adaptive Cruise Control | Helps maintain a selected following distance | Monitor traffic and remain ready to intervene |
| Lane Departure Warning | Can alert the driver when the vehicle departs a detected lane under qualifying conditions | Maintain proper lane position |
| Lane Centering / Steering Assistance | Can provide steering assistance depending on vehicle and EyeSight system | Keep hands on the wheel and supervise continuously |
EyeSight features are designed to support an attentive driver. They do not remove the driver's responsibility for controlling the vehicle, watching traffic, maintaining appropriate speed and responding to changing road conditions.
