If you’re looking for a new vehicle, there are several factors to prioritize, and safety is one of the biggest. New Subaru models offer enhanced Subaru safety features designed to help reduce distracted driving, giving you and your passengers additional peace of mind during your daily commutes. Subaru of Sterling highlights a few driver-assistive features that many of our new models share.
DriverFocus® Distraction Mitigation System
The DriverFocus® Distraction Mitigation System is available for several Subaru models, including the Subaru Outback and the Subaru WRX. It uses enhanced cameras and facial-recognition technology to monitor your eye and head movement. If it detects signs of drowsiness or distraction, it will alert you through visual or auditory warnings.
Pre-Collision Braking
Pre-Collision Braking comes standard with the EyeSight® safety suite on new Subaru vehicles. This system uses enhanced sensors and cameras to detect potential front-end collisions. It automatically applies the brakes if you don’t respond to its alerts when distracted, helping you prevent or mitigate collisions with other vehicles, pedestrians, or cyclists.
Lane Departure and Sway Warning
Lane Departure and Sway Warning can monitor lane markers on any road. When you drift or sway outside your lane without signaling, it alerts distracted drivers via visual dashboard alerts or a beeping sound. It can also provide corrective steering inputs.
Blind-Spot Detection with Lane Change Assist
Several Subaru models, such as the Subaru Crosstrek and the Subaru Impreza, offer Blind-Spot Detection with Lane Change Assist. It uses radar technology to detect when vehicles enter your blind spots and alerts you with visual warnings in your side mirrors to avoid collisions when changing lanes.
