One of Subaru's most powerful ad campaigns focused on the fact that Subaru drivers were able to make it out of accidents alive when it seemed impossible. Subaru's dedication to safety is a reason why many choose vehicles from this Japanese automaker. With its Subaru EyeSight system, the focus on safety increases. For drivers that want to discover Subaru's commitment to safety for themselves, Marino's Fine Cars Subaru is the place to shop for a Subaru vehicle in Toronto.

Subaru EyeSight

Subaru EyeSight is Subaru's exclusive advanced driver-assist system. It is only available on continuously variable transmission (CVT) equipped models. Acting as a second pair of eyes, two cameras monitor activity on the road ahead to alert drivers to potential problems. Subaru EyeSight offers four different types of preventative assistance to drivers of Subaru vehicles: adaptive cruise control, pre-collision braking, pre-collision throttle management, and lane departure and sway warning.

Adaptive Cruise Control

A nice feature for highway driving, adaptive cruise control maintains a set speed in Subaru vehicles and adjusts automatically to remain a safe distance behind the cars in front. This feature will also completely stop the vehicle if required and resume the settings once traffic starts to move again.

Pre-collision Braking

Pre-collision braking will gradually slow or completely stop the Subaru vehicle when it senses a panic braking situation in front of the car. Often a driver reacts too slowly to a vehicle slamming on its brakes. Subaru's pre-collision braking can sense the leading car stopping quickly and react accordingly.

Pre-collision Throttle Management

Pre-collision throttle management cuts power to the gas pedal if it detects a potentially hazardous object in the car's way. For example, if the Subaru is stopped behind another at a red light, pre-collision throttle management will cut power if the driver absent-mindedly starts to accelerate before the car in front moves.

Lane Departure and Sway Warning

Lane departure and sway warning emit a sound when the vehicle begins to drift or is too close to another lane. This helps to keep drivers in their lane and focused on the road ahead. Subaru's EyeSight technology adds another layer of safety and security to Subaru vehicles that are already rated highly in crash testing and already rated as top safety picks. The best part about the Subaru Eyesight driver-assistance technology suite of features is that it is reasonably priced. For about $2,000, this advanced safety technology is affordable to most drivers and easily added to most Subaru vehicles.
