IMHO, Subaru EyeSight driver assisted system (3rd generation ?) is suitable for night driving on Singapore expressways, with full windscreen solar film as described in my earlier postings. The Lane Departure warning light and beep also come "ON" during lane changing (not shown in photo). One photo shows my ride actual speed at 77 km/h. The EyeSight works perfectly well and will regulate the car speed (I set at 75 km/h, below the 80 km/h speed limit) in relation to the vehicle in-front of mine (same lane) to the preset distance. The cruise speed is set at 75 km/h.Īs can be seen from the photos taken by my CO, the distance of the vehicle in-front of my Forester is shown by the car pictogram on the Left side (from smaller gap to longer gap). Here's the evening/night drive with EyeSight: Adaptive Cruise Control mode activated "ON" on AYE expressway to Tuas. Haven't got the chance to try out in raining condition though. Another interesting feature is Adaptive Cruise Control which I find it very useful in today's congested expressways and it works wonderfully in day and night driving. The current Eyesight is 3rd generation version.

The lens is super sensitive and any mis-spray of 'soapy' solution (when fitting the solar film) will affect the performance of EyeSight.įor Forester, there is a separate booklet solely on Eyesight - besides the usual Owner's Manual (close to 600 pages !). There are low-price low-quality brands, high reflection/glare, visible light transmission issue, tint too dark, poor workmanship, trapped air bubbles, long term performance or even accidental damage to the stereo (2 nos.) camera lens. There are so many solar film brands in the market. I believe MI has good intention to safeguard the owners/drivers safety in general.
The legal implication is too great for all other car manufacturers to undertake. Even one Tesla self-driving car crashed and killed a pedestrian in USA not too long ago. Even if I diligently follow the rules of no solar film, I still have to sign the form upfront.Īs I mentioned in above posting, other car manufacturers offering driver assisted crash prevention system will implement the same procedure. But I decided to have solar film anyway due to hot sunny climate here - after all, I have to sign the Disclaimer or Declaration form in the first place at the time I placed the order. MI has a clear directive to buyers/owners on no solar filmfor front windscreen. I am sure all other car manufacturers that offer driver assist crash avoidance system will insist buyers to sign the Disclaimer form. At the end of the day, the driver is still fully responsible for the vehicle safety, not technology. What will happen if a crazy driver drives at high speed and crash his Subie and then seek legal compensation from Subaru for the "defective" EyeSight system. Also, EyeSight will not work above 60 km/h (+ / - ). In other words, Subaru (or anybody else) will not know whether the EyeSight was in operation should a front collision occurs. The 2 switches are located on the cabin roof, above the rear view mirror. Why is this so? The EyeSight system allows the driver to drive with it OR to manually switch-off either lane-departure detection or pre-collision braking or both features altogether. In my opinion, the disclaimer is very relevant.
Let's start with MI disclaimer whereby buyer has to put his/her signature on the declaration form. I collected my SK Forester last week and has been exploring the EyeSight system since then. I am starting this new thread/topic on Subaru EyeSight as there have been many discussions among the Impreza, XV and Forester forums, and many Owners are cautious about having solar film fitted to the front windscreen.
