Subaru now offers a technology they call Eyesight, but what is this new technology? In short, it is a new safety feature to help prevent collisions both while driving on the road and in the parking lot. The current iteration of Eyesight was first released in 2015 and has been steadily improving since. So, what exactly is Eyesight and why is it such a great feature for those looking for a new Subaru Legacy in Mokena?
Convenience
Subaru’s Eyesight feature can tune features such as the cruise control and adjust your speed according to traffic. This means you do not have to worry about getting the speed perfect or going slower to avoid catching up to someone with your cruise control on.
Safety
The big advantage of Eyesight lies in its safety features. It can detect driving circumstances such as if you leave your lane and alert you. This can help prevent accidents if the driver happens to fall asleep at the wheel or other circumstances.
Eyesight is also able to detect when you are about to collide with another vehicle and apply the brakes. While this may not always stop you from having an accident, it should help prevent some and reduce the severity of others.
Another way Eyesight helps in an accident, since it is primarily a safety feature, it reduces engine output. In an accident, it is possible to either press the accelerator instead of the brake or press it by accident from the impact. Either one of these is likely to be bad, but with Eyesight the vehicle will reduce power output and prevent further damage.
These are a few of the biggest safety features of Subaru’s Eyesight feature. While it does offer some convenience features such as adaptive cruise control, it is mainly a safety feature. This is Subaru’s flagship vehicle safety effort and promises great things.
