The all-new 2015 Subaru Legacy saloon has “EyeSight”
February 25, 2014
The 2015 Subaru Legacy equipped with EyeSight could be the safest saloon on the planet. Fuji Heavy Industries (FHI), the maker of Subaru automobiles, has a goal of eradicate the possibility of any and all accidents. Their new-generation EyeSight safety system is the reason why. How does the system work on the new 2015 Legacy? The Subaru EyeSight driver-assist system in the all-new 2015 Subaru Legacy puts the driver at ease with more convenience and greater protection. The new-generation EyeSight system is effective in preventing vehicle calamity and especially driver distracted errors. To achieve this, Subaru continues to enhance its driving assist technology "EyeSight" which is based on recognition abilities using a stereo camera system. The system processes the images gained from its stereo camera and recognizes the object before an accident occurs. The new rear radar system now comes standard on the 2015 Legacy 2.5i Limited and 3.6R Limited and available for the 2.5i Premium. The 2015 Legacy gets this “full-perimeter preventive safety” system. The rear radar system offers three functions. Blind Spot Detection detects vehicles behind the C-pillars and in other blind spots; Lane Change Assist detects approaching vehicles when changing lanes, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert detects close vehicles while reversing, such as out of a parking space or driveway. LED indicators on the side mirrors alert the driver. Rear Cross Traffic Alert uses an indicator in the rear view camera display. Also for the 2015 Legacy, new Steering-Responsive Foglights are added, which help illuminate curves for better visibility. FHI’s recent development of the next-generation "EyeSight" shows just how committed the Subaru brand is to safety. And they are doing it across their whole lineup of cars. Building safe vehicles is not new for the Japanese automaker. They began their own independent crash tests in the 1960s before there was any official testing being conducted.
