    SUBARU EYESIGHT

    PREVENTIVE | Subaru EyeSight Driver Assist Technology

    Completely re-engineered with a host of new and advanced functions, EyeSight* provides drivers with even more peace of mind on the road. Updates to both image recognition and control software, plus hardware improvements like windshield integration, enable even more confident and safer driving in many real-world driving situations.
    DISCLAIMER
    * EyeSight is a driving support system which may not operate optimally under all driving conditions. The driver is always responsible for safe and attentive driving and observance of traffic regulations. System effectiveness depends on many factors such as vehicle maintenance, weather, and road conditions. See Owner’s Manual for complete details on system operation and limitations for EyeSight including functions in this brochure.
