How New Subaru Vehicles Prevent Distracted Driving

​​​​​​​

It’s Distracted Driving Awareness Month, which brings attention to the dangers of being distracted behind the wheel. Luckily, many Subaru vehicles are designed with proactive features that can help. Kirby Subaru of Ventura highlights the Subaru safety features that can prevent distracted driving accidents.

DriverFocus®

Many new Subaru vehicles include DriverFocus® technology—a copilot that keeps an eye on you to make sure you’re keeping an eye on the road. This feature can sense if you seem distracted or drowsy while you’re driving, and if it does, it will remind you that it’s time to refocus or take a break.

Lane Departure and Sway Warning

When you become inattentive, it’s easy to drift unintentionally from your lane. The Lane Departure and Sway Warning feature monitors your lane markings, so it can sense when you’re veering towards them. It will alert you first but can also provide steering assistance if necessary.

Pre-Collision Braking

When you’re driving in your new Subaru vehicle, Pre-Collision Braking is consistently scanning the road. If it detects an imminent collision, it can automatically apply your brakes. If necessary, available Automatic Emergency Steering can intervene and maneuver around obstacles in your path.

Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering

It’s easy for drivers to become distracted after they’ve spent a significant amount of time driving on the highway. Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering doesn’t just keep you at your preferred speed, it also keeps you a safe distance from the car in front of you and can keep you safely centered in your lane.
