Safety
Advanced Protection for Every Passenger
Subaru EyeSight
Subaru Ascent safety features include standard EyeSight Driver Assist Technology, which acts like an extra set of eyes on the road and, if need be, an extra foot on the brake when you drive. EyeSight includes a number of advanced active safety systems to protect you and your family on every drive. Available Automatic Emergency Steering can help you avoid a collision by providing automatic steering and pre-collision braking support if it determines there’s enough space to intervene.
Pre-Collision Braking
Automatic Pre-Collision Braking helps you avoid or reduce frontal impacts by alerting you and applying full braking force in emergency situations. Pre-Collision Throttle Management can reduce the power from the engine to help minimize the possible impact force and frontal impact damage.
Adaptive Cruise Control
Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering adds extra convenience and safety on every drive. Just choose the distance you want to keep from the car in front of you and it can take some of the stress out of everyday driving by helping with steering, braking, and throttle control while maintaining a safe distance ahead. Standard Emergency Stop Assist can detect when a driver becomes unresponsive while the Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control is activated and then stop the SUV, activate hazard lights, and unlock the doors. Available MySubaru Connected Services can then call emergency services for help.
