Understanding the EyeSight System
The EyeSight system is a advanced driver-assist system used in Subaru vehicles, which includes features such as lane departure warning, pre-collision braking, and adaptive cruise control.

To understand the EyeSight system, it is essential to familiarize yourself with its components, including the stereo camera, radar sensor, and control unit. The stereo camera is mounted on the windshield and provides a wide-angle view of the road ahead, while the radar sensor uses radio waves to detect the distance and speed of other vehicles. The control unit processes the data from the cameras and sensors to provide warnings or take control of the vehicle. By understanding how the EyeSight system works, you can better troubleshoot issues and resolve problems when they arise. The system is designed to be user-friendly, with intuitive controls and clear warnings, making it an essential feature for safe and comfortable driving. Additionally, the system can be customized to suit your driving preferences, with adjustable settings for sensitivity and alertness.
