Safety Continuing to be a Top Priority

With a reputation for having some of the safest vehicles on the market, Subaru intends to maintain this reputation. Along with its expertly designed structure, the Forester also hosts many safety features that contributed to the successful rating. Rear-end collisions are prevalent, and the Eyesight Driver Assist Technology is meant to create more awareness and act as your second pair of eyes on the road. Up to 85% of all rear-end collisions can be avoided due to this very high-tech feature. The EyeSight Driver Assist System also includes the following features to keep you as safe as possible on every drive:

• Adaptive Cruise Control – Stay a safe distance away from the vehicle in front of you with this feature that uses a high-tech camera to adapt to your surroundings while in cruise control mode. 
• Pre-Collision Braking – This feature has been a game changer in the instance where the car in front of you makes a dead stop, someone runs a stop light or sign, etc. The vehicle will identify the object in your way and assist with quick braking to avoid a collision and keep you safe.
• Lane Departure/Sway Warning – These two features go hand in hand to make sure that you do not drift too far. They reduce your chances of a front collision and keep you alert while driving.
• Lane Keep Assist – When you turn on this feature, it will assist with your steering when needed. The front camera identifies where the lines are on the road and keeps you within the lines at all times, drastically enhancing your safety.
