Why Subaru Eyesight Technology Maintenance is Crucial for Safety

Your Subaru’s EyeSight system is a game-changer for safety on the road. But did you know that Subaru EyeSight needs regular maintenance at the Subaru dealer to function properly? You should maintain the system through regular recalibrations, cleanings, and software updates to maintain its reliability.

Why Subaru EyeSight Technology Maintenance is Crucial for Safety

Improves EyeSight’s Accuracy

Regular system calibrations are crucial for EyeSight’s cameras and sensors. This allows them to detect lane markings, vehicles, and pedestrians accurately. Even a slight misalignment can reduce the reliability of features like lane departure warning, pre-collision braking, automatic emergency steering, and blind-spot detection. That’s why recalibration is essential after wheel alignment, windshield replacement, or collision repair to maintain EyeSight’s reliability.

Reduces the Risk of Accidents

Obstructions from dirt, dust, and moisture can hinder EyeSight’s camera lenses from working properly. If the cameras are obstructed, the system won’t be able to identify hazards reliably. Adding a simple lens cleaning to your maintenance routine ensures the system can effectively scan the road ahead. This reduces the risk of accidents and saves you from dealing with costly collision repairs.

Keeps the System Up-to-Date

Like smartphones and computers, your Subaru’s driver assistance system occasionally receives updates from Subaru to refine its performance. These updates may add new functions or improve hazard recognition and emergency response capabilities. Stay up-to-date with software updates to improve the system’s performance and enhance safety. You can have software updates checked and installed at the dealership during routine system maintenance.

Reveals Faults and Misalignments

Minor accidents like fender benders can throw EyeSight sensors out of alignment, leading to erratic function and increased safety risks. Even something minor like hitting a pothole can damage ABS sensors. When this happens, a safety systems alignment service is required to recalibrate the sensors. During this service, our technicians will identify faults, replace damaged sensors, and recalibrate the system to restore accuracy.

Schedule EyeSight Maintenance at Your Subaru Dealer

The best way to stay on top of EyeSight maintenance is to schedule it alongside our routine service appointments at your local dealership. Our factory-trained technicians have specialized tools and knowledge to properly inspect, calibrate, update, and realign every system component to Subaru’s specifications.

Don’t compromise your safety by neglecting your driver assistance system. When properly maintained, EyeSight acts as your reliable co-pilot and second pair of eyes. Contact Sunset Hills Subaru in Sunset Hills, MO to schedule EyeSight maintenan
