Based on Natural Resources Canada’s (NRCan) approved guidelines. Refer to NRCan’s Fuel Consumption Guide available at https://fcr-ccc.nrcan-rncan.gc.ca/en for more information. Full battery charge and ideal conditions are required. Figures will vary based, amongst others and non-exclusively, on driving and charging habits, speed, accessory use, weather and temperature, battery age, vehicle condition, road condition and other factors. In sub ideal conditions, figures may worsen by more than 50%. Battery capacity decreases with time and use which will further reduce range. See the owner’s manual or NRCan’s Fuel Consumption Guide for details.
Another safety first from Subaru
First introduced on the 2019 Subaru Forester, the DriverFocus Distraction Mitigation System utilizes a camera angled at the driver’s face and facial recognition software to monitor fatigue or lack of attention. Working in harmony with Subaru EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology, this state-of-the-art system was developed to address the persistent issue of traffic accidents caused by distraction or fatigue. In 2019, DriverFocusTM was named the Best Safety Innovation by the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada.
As featured on current model year, trim specific Impreza and Crosstrek:
- The DriverFocus system detects signs of distraction or fatigue, and if required sends visual and auditory alerts to bring driver attention back to the task at hand.
As featured on current model year, trim specific Outback, Forester and Ascent:
- The DriverFocus system detects signs of distraction or fatigue, and if required sends visual and auditory alerts to bring driver attention back to the task at hand. Additionally, this system can recognize up to five different drivers, and adjust the vehicle seat position, side mirror position and climate control settings automatically based on that driver profile preferences.
Greater focus, increased safety
Vehicles equipped with DriverFocusTM feature a dedicated camera mounted either in the visor of the Multi-Function Display or on the top of the front dash, just above the infotainment screen. This camera focuses on the driver’s face, scanning for eye and head movements that indicate the driver may be distracted or falling asleep. If this is happening, the system sends visual and auditory alerts to bring driver attention back to the task at hand, like an automated co-driver along for the ride.
Convenience built in for the whole family
The DriverFocus Distraction Mitigation System can register and recognize up to five different drivers. When a driver enters the vehicle, the camera scans his or her face, and adjusts vehicle settings according to that individual’s height, dimensions and preferences. As a personalized welcome message appears on the Multi-Function Display, the seat position, side mirror position and climate control settings automatically adjust to suit the driver.
