Subaru vehicles may get all the attention for their value, off-road proficiency, and comfort, but it can be easy to forget that the automaker is also an industry leader when it comes to safety. Safety features have come a long way since seat belts and airbags were the only safety features found in most vehicles, and Subaru has been at the forefront of innovation. Here at our Subaru dealership serving Catonsville, MD, our dealers would like to highlight these innovative safety features found on most new Subaru cars.
EyeSight® Adaptive Cruise Control: EyeSight is the name for the Subaru suite of advanced safety features, and one of the premiere features is Adaptive Cruise Control. To keep a safe distance from the car in front of you, drivers can choose the distance that they want to preserve, and EyeSight will automatically adjust your speed to maintain your selected distance.
Pre-Collision Braking: Found on vehicles like the 2019 Subaru Impreza, Pre-Collision Braking is a feature that helps you avoid or reduce frontal impacts by alerting you and applying full braking force in emergency situations. A study by the safety-focused Insurance Institute for Highway Safety found that EyeSight lowers the rate of pedestrian-related injuries by up to 35 percent.
Pre-Collision Throttle Management: Another feature of the EyeSight Driver Assist suite is Pre-Collision Throttle Management. This system detects objects in front of the vehicle that you are likely to hit. It will then reduce the power from the engine in order to help minimize the possible impact force and frontal impact damage.
The vast majority of new Subaru vehicles are equipped with EyeSight safety technology, so visit Heritage Subaru Catonsville to test it out for yourself.
