The safety technology on modern cars is more impressive than ever, so you’ll be blown away by what you find on the cars at your Subaru dealer. The 2024 Subaru Legacy certainly has a lot to offer when it comes to safety and security, so let’s take a look at the features of the EyeSight Driver Assist Technology on the Legacy.
Adaptive Cruise Control
Adaptive Cruise Control automates some of the parts of driving. It uses cameras to detect how far away the car in front of you is, and it then maintains a safe distance from that car. Adaptive cruise control can also help you stay in the middle of your lane.
Lane Departure Warning
You won’t have to worry about unintentionally drifting out of your lane thanks to lane departure warning. Your car monitors where the lane markings are, then it sends you alerts if it notices you’re drifting too close to the edge of the lane. If you don’t respond to its warnings, then it can intervene and steer you safely back into the middle of the lane.
Pre-Collision Braking
The Legacy constantly scans the road in search of potential dangers. If the car detects that you’ll probably collide with an object if you don’t hit the brakes ASAP, then it can automatically apply the brakes to help you avoid colliding with hazards in your path.
Automatic Emergency Steering
Automatic emergency steering and pre-collision braking work hand in hand. If hitting the brakes won’t help you avoid a collision, then your Legacy can take over the steering and get you safely away from the obstruction in front of you. So, if you don’t have time to react when a collision seems imminent, your car has your back.
Pre-Collision Throttle Management
When your car detects an object in your path, it reduces the amount of power sent to your engine. This gives you more time to respond and prevent the collision, particularly in low-speed situations.
Rear-Vision Camera
The Legacy’s rear-vision camera isn’t part of the EyeSight suite, but it does serve as a very useful safety feature that you’ll likely use regularly. You can use it to safely watch the area behind you while you’re backing up, and you can keep an eye on the cars behind you while driving, giving you time to respond if one of them unexpectedly speeds up and may cause a fender bender.
If this car has all the safety features you want in your new ride, then come and see it in person. Take the Legacy out for a test drive at Dean Team Subaru in Ballwin, MO.
