Pre-collision Braking System & Pre-collision Braking Assist
Automatic brakes to reduce collision damage or prevent a collision where possible
EyeSight is designed to assist the driver in slowing the car down or, where possible, bringing it to a stop if it detects a car, pedestrian or object in front. The new system has pre-collision braking and pre-collision braking assist capabilities with a greater range of recognition for objects than previous versions system installed in Subaru cars. If the system detects that the driver has failed to take evasive action, it can apply the brakes automatically.
When the Pre-collision Braking System is activated, if the system detects that driver’s braking input is simply insufficient, the system can increase the braking force automatically. These functions operate when the speed difference from a leading car or object is less than 50 km/h, or 35 km/h (*2) for a pedestrian. Pre-Collision Steering Assist can also be activated if the system detects that there is the possibility of colliding with a car or object in front and the driver operates the steering wheel to take evasive action, by altering the VDC characteristics to help the driver avoid the collision.
*2 Pre-collision Braking System does not work when the speed difference from a leading car is more than 50km/h and from a pedestrian is more than 35km/h. Other weather and external conditions may also prevent Pre-collision Braking from working, even when the speed difference from a leading car is 50km/h or less and from a pedestrian is 35km/h or less.
