Very informative video. I have kids (22 and 30 years old), that don't give a shit about safety, when driving. All they care about Apple car play, Pandora and SiriusXM. They don't want to hear or read the vehicle manual. Thank you Subaru for keeping my grown children safe.
My main love is adaptive cruise control. I've had my Gen5 since 2015, and in the 3 years I've owned it, EyeSight has never given a false brake. It has given a couple false alerts, but has *never* falsely applied the brakes. Twice it saved me. Once, was a pedestrian who ran out in front of me, and the car started braking before I was able to react. The second time was a car that pulled out in front of me. Once again, the car was already applying the brakes before I had my foot on the brake. I'll *never* own another car, other than a Subaru with EyeSight!
I have a specific personal experience with EyeSight on my US-model 2017 Forester which deserves conscious recognition by other EyeSight drivers. I had gotten well used to the situations in foggy/frosty weather when EyeSight recognizes that it is "blind" and shuts itself off with a dashboard warning message. However, I was most surprised to experience on a long summer trip that one smashed insect in just the wrong place in front of one camera, can make EyeSight "blind" without it realizing it, and without any shut-off or warning message. The only symptom was that cruise control did not sense any car in front, even when there was one. My recommendation is, be very aware that the "clean windshield" warning includes bugs.
Now I understand how eyesight works I will devote myself to fully learn new eyesight technology since i bought a new Subaru Limited with eyesight technology 😲😲✅
another EyeSight feature I expect 99% of owners do not realize is, if you want conventional non-adaptive cruise control, you can get it by holding the following distance button down for several seconds (3 horizontal lines).
Where do you recommend placing a dash-cam with the eyesight system? It would be great to have the recording capability of a dash-cam built into the eyesight system and rear breaking camera.
I have 2019 legacy and I need to clean inside of the dash cam panel full of past fingerprint its not letting the cam know what I am clicking on its bouncing around
I am upset that each time I take my auto in for routine checkup, all the buttons I have SET get unset.....there are directions to turn off items but how can I know that they are ON? I personally want all safety items ON all the time SOUNDS included!
i have a 2016 wrx manual.my car obviously doesn't have the eyesight feature but my rear view mirror does have a camera mounted facing forward .Does it do anything ? i know i have the rear parking camera and side camera but can't figure out why they would fit a forward facing camera ?
Good overview, but doesn't spend enough time on the actual buttons, settings, and graphics of the display. Guess you have to study the manual for that.
I have a 2020 Forester. Does Eyesight record video or just a series of JPEG stills? If it records video, can the owner access it, and how? If it records video, how long is the loop before overwriting? I currently have a dash cam positioned so as to not interfere with Eyesight, but if I could access Eyesight video at will, I remove the dash cam. Thanks
I know that this comment is a year old already but I think that you probably still want an answer? I do not know about the eyesight features from 2018 and older but for what I now from the 2019 models and up, Eyesight will only record videos for (if I remember) 7-10 seconds before, during, and after you hit your car badly. You cannot access it and I guess that in order to access the video, is to ask for it from Subaru. Yes, the subaru is recording everything but for only 7-10 secs. So, if you get into a car accident, it will save couple seconds before, during, and after the accident and that's it. There is no option/trick to change it.
Had my new 2019 Impreza for a few weeks now and LOVE it. One thing i notice is when going around curves. It feels like im getting help steering here. Its an interesting feeling but i haven't heard about this feature. Anyone else??
The eyesight technology buttons located below the rear view mirror inadvertently light indicating system is off and cannot be turned on, Thus, deactivating the features, although the symbols,on the dashboard , indicating that the system is deactivated do not appear. Thus I cannot tell if system is on or off much of the time. The indicator lights under the mirror will spontaneously turn off, activating the system and the features will begin to work again. How can I solve this problem ? The problem is the system turns off spontaneously. I cannot identify any pattern to this problem. When I press the buttons , and hear them beep, the system will not turn on.
I found the eyesight system in my Outback a pain. Mild offroading, thought I was hitting objects so applied the brakes. Driving in the dark, suddenly flashing red on the dials thinking I was about to hit something, and no, the lenses weren’t dirty or obscure. Id rather not bother with it, in fact my Impreza doesnt have it.
Turn it off when off road. This system works better than most and was put into production earlier than most. No it's not perfect but for most it's on road functions have saved many lives. My wife has a 2017 limited outback. At the price point it is the safest vehicle you can buy.
You do not need to press a single button. The precollision system works when the car is started. If you use the adaptive cruise control, you need to press at least 2 buttons, as in every other car.
What is the music? I own a 2016 Subaru Crosstrek with Eyesight -- LOVE IT -- but also love the music. Shazam doesn't seem to know waht the (great) music is either.
I teach doctors and i always tell them that telling patients too much information will hurt the entire speech. Occular media with speech and written text is the best way to deliver information.
Beware of the Subaru Eyesight system. I am a naturally late breaker and 1 week after owning my car I approached moving/merging traffic and the car system slammed on my brakes causing a lock up. The trailing vehicle driver was unable to react quick enough and crashed into me. I experienced several similar types of braking situations which prompted me to off load the car. I now have a new Audi Q5 with no such braking intervention related issues.
Joe Hamelin - what driving the car?? This is the way the car's system operates. There was an early recall for software and hardware updates. Dash cam isn't going to help you with your analysis buddy! Crap system!
@@Richard-tv5cb Naturally late braker? Meaning you like slamming on the brakes? Seems it's your driving that needs an overhaul, not the Eyesight system. As long as you have your foot on the brake at a reasonable distance from the car in front of you, the system does not slam on the brakes. You were likely going way too fast and approaching the car ahead at a speed that would cause a collision without the system. Don't blame it for your poor driving.
This system is so complex it can't possibly be used under those driving circumstances that would make it valuable. It makes too many noises in a car that already has too many noises and too many warnings that can't be understood without referring to the ridiculous and incomprehensible manual. You simply can't use this system and drive a car, except on an empty road, at the same time. There are simply too many variables, except on an empty road, that will confuse this system while giving some drivers a false sense of security, thinking they don't have to pay as much attention as they used to or become more skilled at things like accident avoidance due to unexpected behavior of other cars. Either you make a car completely self-driving or force drivers to learn how to drive better and make road test longer and harder, including adding tests at certain ages, say 65, then 75, etc. This system is in between those two options - it is dangerous and pretentious. I have regular cruise control but might be FORCED to lease a car with this complicated system - that I don't want! I consider myself excellent in the use of my current system and am extremely angry at having these features forced on me!
I appreciate the pre collision breaking system saved my life. Thank you Subaru!😊

can it recognize animals like cow, dog, etc....?
@@leremygan no
I love the cruise control, lane protection, blind spot warning, etc. However, Eyesight fails in fog, dust, rain, darkness, just when you need it most!
i drive 850 miles twice a week. This incredible EyeSight system has protected me numerous times. I Love It!!!
Great to hear, delighted EyeSight is working so well for you!

i guess i dont have it :( i thought i did 2015 limited :(

Mark Sandstrom this is the real tip
Would this be the same for the 2014 outback as well? Thank you
EyeSight on a '14 Outback? I thought it was introduced later than that.
@@marksandstrom4248 I just bought a 2014 outback limited and it has eyesight. The newer outbacks have an updated version of eyesight.
i have a brand new legacy with he eyesignt and i love it

at 9:42 you have the labels confused for "pre-collision braking", and "lane departure".
At 9:42 in this video the text identifying the pre-collision braking and lane departure off indicators is swapped.
I have a 2018 XV that does not have eyesight. How is this possible?
It’s not perfect but it helps when it works
Do you have acutual demomstration step by step all the features ?
the pre collision braking works only with adaptive cruise control?
+mav vasilas Thank you for your enquiry. No, the pre collision braking system works all the time unless you switch it off.

Is it true that raise the Subaru 2" hurts the efficiency of the Eyesight?

Very good job . I hope enjoy soon the fantastic levorg! Regards from Spain
I like it when the car helps you steer. It keeps me more focus.
Does the SUBARU XV have Surround 360 camera?

Is there a warning volumn/frequency adjustment on the 2016 Forrester with Eyesight. I have a high frequency loss and don't hear the tones at all.

I was skedule eye cataract and eye floater operation,is this device can help me for not under go operation?
No, go get your eyes fixed or start smoking weed. Either way, please don't drive until you can see correctly.
NO, get the procedures, please.
Out of date. Please update Subaru! In my 2018 car, Lane Sway will nudge the wheel back to the lane.
Music?? I LOVED IT
A radar mixed with a camera system is more practical. Seeing as how having a camera only based safety system can have it pitfalls.
Very nice
How does this differ from eyesight on the Forrester? Thx.
Hi SG, it's the same system! No difference. Hope this helps!
Feels like a lot of buttons to push.
As long as you don't rear end someone while setting up you are golden, I guess 😉😇

I have a 2024 Outback and the EyeSight system is inoperative about half the time.
I don't mind.
It's like having your wife inoperative half the time.
There should be a caveat telling you that do not use it at night with cruise control.
Should have been narrated, too much important information to just read.
Thanks for the feedback Robert. We'll take it into account in the future.

Pause, back up, replay, repeat as necessary. Worked for me.
waaaaah I have to READ on TH-cam
The music was too loud and distracting.
Bottom left corner of video has a volume and mute control. Again, worked for me.
don't hang things on rearview mirror lol....pot leaf air freshener
That's not what it says.
The background music is too annoying!
I’m the last comment
Narration needed: music terrible creates anxiety. Moved along too fast

SEEMS COMPLICATED
+Herb Trinkler Don't worry, Herb. The EyeSight system is not at all complicated and works in the background as a driving aid.
