> Eyesight Assist Monitor (EAM)- displays Eyesight information on the inside of the windshield via colored dots.

The monitor will shine colored dots (yellow, green, or red) on the inside on the lower left of the windshield indicating what the Eyesight system is doing so you don't have to look down at the dash gauges.

Yellow dot means drifting out of lane or lane sway, red dots are emergency, green is active cruise control engaged.



> Auto Vehicle Hold (AVH) used the electric parking brake to hold the when stopped in traffic or at a light. The On button is next to the electric parking brake button in the center console.

AVH has limitations, drivers seatbelt must be on, and AVH may not work on steep hills, and will turn off and release the car after holding it for 10 minutes.



all new for WRX

> High Beam Assist (HBA)- a sensor will switch between high and low beams depending on outside light and approaching traffic

> Steering responsive LED headlights (low and high beam). Replaces steering responsive fog lights

> Eyesight models have an electric parking brake

> Steering responsive headlight lights uses steering wheel position to briefly turn the light illuminate a corner when the vehicle is turned. Headlights have to be turned on for the system to work.

> Active Cruise Control combines the benefits of cruise control with active monitoring of the road ahead. It issues warnings and activates automatic braking when needed. Adaptive Cruise Control can regulate vehicle speed in order to keep a safe following distance from the vehicle ahead. It does not replace conventional cruise control, which can still be used when desired.

> Pre-Collision Braking (brake and engine function) can recognize an impending collision, alert the driver and automatically apply the brakes to help avoid a collision or minimize the impact when a collision is inevitable.

> Pre-Collision Brake Assist (brake function, from app 7-100 mile per hour)) - If Eyesight recognizes an impending collision and the driver is applying the brakes but not with enough force, Pre-Collision Brake Assist automatically applies up to full braking pressure in order to try to shorten braking distances.

> Pre-Collision Throttle Management (engine function) is designed to help prevent drivers from accelerating into a stopped vehicle or other obstacle in front of them. It warns the driver and reduces engine power until he or she applies the brakes to avoid an impact.

> Lead Vehicle Start Alert (beep function) is a helpful EyeSight feature that alerts the driver when his or her vehicle remains stopped after a vehicle in front has started to move away, going at least app 10ft

> Lane Departure Warning (beep function, over app 30mph) alerts drivers when they unintentionally move out of their travel lane. It takes no corrective vehicle action other than issuing visual and audible warnings. Works over app 30mph

> Lane Keep Assist (steering function). It uses the electric power steering to help keep the car from drifting out of the lane on the highway. Using turn signals or deliberately turning the steering wheel overrides this function. If you drive on freeways above app 40-90 miles per hour and the vehcile is about to depart from the lane, the system assists the steering operation by turning it in a direction that will prevent the lane departure. Driver control of the steering wheel, brakes, turn signals and gas pedal will override this steering function.

> Lane Sway Warning (beep function, over app 38mph) acts in a similar way, detecting unusual back and forth vehicle movement within the lane of travel. Lane Sway Warning operates at speeds over app 38 mph.

> Reverse Automatic Braking (RAB). Sensors in the rear bumper help prevent accidents when in reverse ( new on 2017 model) at very very low speed!

> Steering responsive LED headlights (low and high beam). New on 2018 model

> Eyesight Assist Monitor (EAM)- displays Eyesight information on the inside of the windshield. New on 2018 model

> Auto Vehicle Hold (AVH) used the electric parking brake to hold the when stopped in traffic or at a light. New on 2018 model. AVH has limitations, drivers seatbelt must be on, and AVH may not work on steep hills, and will turn off and release the car after holding it for 10 minutes.

> High Beam Assist- a sensor will switch between high and low beams depending on outside light and approaching traffic. New on 2018 model



Eyesight cars have three windshield washer squirters, with the middle one to clean in front of the cameras.

The camera’s field of view is about 35 degrees horizontally from the center of the windshield.

The camera’s field of vision extends up to about 360 feet in front of the vehicle, but objects very close to the vehicle may not be detected

EyeSight works to recognize obstacles up to about a 30-mph (or less) speed differential. Essentially, EyeSight needs time to recognize an object or potential obstacle. If the speed difference between the EyeSight vehicle and the object is greater than up to 30 mph, the object will likely not be detected.



NOTES

Eyesight uses two forward facing cameras to see the road ahead, and only works when they can 'see'. Don't block the camera's views, put anything reflective on the dash, hang anything from the rear view mirror, or clean the dash so that it's shiny. Replace the windshield wipers as necessary. The Eyesight cameras will turn off if the windshield fogs up of they can't see for any reason.

do not touch or try to clean the EyeSight camera lenses. It is imperative that extra precaution be used when cleaning the inside of the windshield, because over-spray from cleaners may impair or even damage the cameras’ lenses, which is not a warranty issue.
