Subaru Safety Features That Prevent Distracted Driving

Subaru safety features are some of the most advanced in the auto industry. Leading-edge proprietary technologies such as the DriverFocus® Distraction Mitigation System and EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology are available for numerous new models at Jensen Subaru. Here's a closer look at what makes these safety features so impressive.

Subaru EyeSight® Features

Subaru EyeSight technology comes standard on every new model at our Sioux City, IA, Subaru dealership. This proactive safety suite is designed to mitigate damage from collisions or even prevent them altogether. Some of its available features include:

• Pre-Collision Braking: Scans the road ahead for vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists, and if the system senses a potential collision, it will alert you and automatically apply the brakes as necessary
• Lane-Departure Warning: If your car begins to drift out of its lane, the system will alert you and can help move the car safely back into its lane
• Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering: This feature keeps your vehicle centered in its lane and automatically maintains a safe following distance between you and the car ahead
• Lead Vehicle Start Alert: When the car ahead of you starts to move, this system will sound a notification to help prevent rear-end collisions in heavy traffic

DriverFocus® Distraction Mitigation

DriverFocus Distraction Mitigation is one of the Subaru brand's latest safety offerings. It employs an infrared camera and state-of-the-art facial recognition software to provide:

• Detection: It scans for signs of drowsiness, fatigue, or distraction-for example, if the driver takes his eyes off the road for more than three seconds
• Alerts: Visual and audible warnings are issued to help the driver refocus
• Intervention: If the driver remains inattentive, the system can automatically slow the vehicle down, bring it to a complete stop, and summon emergency assistance
• Multiple Driver Profiles: If you plan to have multiple drivers for your new Subaru car, DriverFocus can be customized for up to five different drivers, including automatically adjusting seat, mirror, and climate settings
