Your 2019 Forester features Subaru DriverFocus, an all-new state-of-the-art system that helps reduce distracted driving for both
new and experienced drivers.
Each day in the United States, more than 1,000 people are injured in crashes reported to have involved a distracted driver.
Working with our award-winning EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology, DriverFocus is like having an attentive co-pilot along for
the ride, available to give a helpful alert if a driver becomes distracted or drowsy. For added convenience, DriverFocus can also
recognize drivers and remember their preferences such as seat and side mirror positions.
