Blind Spot Detection and Rear Vehicle Detection



standard on Premium, Limited and Touring

not available on Base

standard on Premium, Limited, and Touring. Not available on Base.



The Blind Spot Detection symbol is in the outside mirror's housing



The Subaru Rear Vehicle Detection (SRVD) system uses two radar units, each mounted underneath the sheet metal immediately below the rear taillights. To help avoid damage, the radar units are purposely mounted above the typical bumper impact line.

The radar units send out signals to detect vehicles behind and to each side of the Subaru vehicle, especially those vehicles that might not be visible in the rearview mirrors.



Blind Spot Detection (BSD) detects a vehicle alongside and/or slightly to the rear of the car in an area of about 22 feet x 11 feet. If the driver signals a lane change to that side, the warning icon in the mirror will flash . Lane Change Assist warns of vehicles approaching in the next lane,



Lane Change Assist (LCA) looks for vehicles farther back in an adjacent lane – about 220 feet behind the Subaru vehicle. If the vehicle detected is approaching quickly – at a speed that could bring it alongside the Subaru vehicle within a few seconds



Rear Cross Traffic Alert beeps and warns of vehicles approaching from the sides when you're backing out of a parking spot.





Eyesight



Eyesight

Standard on all 2019 Ascent



Eyesight uses two small, forward facing cameras on either side of the rear view mirror that monitor the road ahead.

Eyesight will turn off if the windshield fogs up or 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 damage the cameras’ lenses.



Standard on all models

Eyesight



> Eyesight Assist Monitor (EAM)- displays Eyesight information on the lower left inside of the windshield.

> Active Cruise Control com bines 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.

> Lane Keep Assist uses the car's electric power steering to help keep the car in its lane at highway speeds over 40mph. Can be turned off by the driver.

> Pre-Collision Braking can recognize an impending collision, alert the driver and apply the brakes to help avoid a collision or minimize the impact

> Pre-Collision Brake Assist- 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 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 is a helpful Eyesight feature that beeps after a vehicle in front has started to move away.

> Lane Departure Warning alerts drivers when they unintentionally move out of their lane. It takes no corrective vehicle action.

> Lane Sway Warning detects unusual back and forth vehicle movement within the lane of travel.

> High Beam Assist- included Limited and Touring

Reverse Auto Braking (RAB)
