Does Subaru EyeSight need calibration after windscreen replacement?

Yes – this is mandatory. Both EyeSight stereo cameras are mounted directly to the windscreen. When the glass is replaced, the cameras lose their factory alignment. Without recalibration using Subaru-specific targets, Pre-Collision Braking, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Lane Departure Warning will not function. Our [Windscreen Calibration](/windscreen-calibration) at £199 covers both cameras.

Why does Subaru use two cameras instead of one?

Subaru's EyeSight uses stereoscopic vision – two cameras measuring the same scene from slightly different angles to calculate depth and distance. This eliminates the need for a front radar on most models. The trade-off is that both cameras must be precisely aligned to each other, making calibration more sensitive than single-camera systems.

Does the Subaru Solterra use EyeSight?

No. The Solterra is built on a shared platform with the [Toyota bZ4X](/toyota) and uses Toyota-derived ADAS – a monocular camera plus front radar – branded as Subaru Safety Sense in the UK market. Calibration for the Solterra follows Toyota procedures, not the EyeSight stereo camera process. We calibrate both systems.

What does "EyeSight Disabled" mean on my Subaru dashboard?

"EyeSight Disabled" means the stereo cameras cannot function – typically due to misalignment after a windscreen replacement, front-end impact, or obstruction. When EyeSight is disabled, all connected systems shut down: Pre-Collision Braking, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Sway Warning, and Lead Vehicle Start Alert. A professional recalibration restores all systems in one appointment.

Do I need radar calibration on my Subaru after a bumper repair?

For most Subaru models – no. EyeSight-equipped vehicles (Forester, Outback, Crosstrek, XV, Levorg) have no front bumper radar, so bumper repairs typically don't trigger ADAS faults. The exception is the Solterra, which has a front radar as part of its Toyota-derived system – bumper work on a Solterra does require [radar calibration](/radar-calibration). Check our [ADAS error codes guide](/guides/adas-error-codes) if you're unsure which system your Subaru uses.

Subaru ADAS Calibration — From £199

ADAS Calibration for Subaru models

Subaru is the only manufacturer that uses two cameras instead of one. EyeSight - Subaru's proprietary ADAS system - relies on a stereo camera pair mounted behind the windscreen, with no front radar on most models. That dual-camera architecture means calibration requires Subaru-specific targets and procedures that generic ADAS equipment cannot handle. ADAS Line calibrates every EyeSight system at 70+ UK workshops, from £199.

Subaru EyeSight Systems We Calibrate

EyeSight Driver Assist Technology is Subaru's umbrella name for its ADAS suite - and it works fundamentally differently from every other brand. Where most manufacturers pair a single forward camera with a front radar, Subaru's stereo cameras measure distance through stereoscopic disparity. Here's what those dual cameras power:

Pre-Collision Braking (PCB) - Subaru's automatic emergency braking. The stereo cameras detect vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists ahead. Activates at both city and highway speeds without needing a separate radar sensor.
EyeSight Adaptive Cruise Control - Maintains distance to the vehicle ahead using the stereo cameras alone. No front radar means the bumper isn't involved - but the windscreen is everything.
Lane Departure Warning - Alerts you when the vehicle drifts toward lane markings without indicating.
Lane Sway Warning - Detects erratic steering patterns that suggest fatigue or distraction. Unique to Subaru - most brands bundle this into a generic driver attention system.
Lane Keep Assist / Advanced Lane Centering - Active steering intervention to keep the vehicle centred. Available on newer Forester and Outback models.
Lead Vehicle Start Alert - Notifies you when the car ahead moves in traffic. Depends on calibrated stereo cameras to function.
DriverFocus Distraction Mitigation - Interior-facing camera on select Outback and Forester models. Monitors driver attention. Separate from the EyeSight cameras and calibrated independently.

Subaru Models - Full ADAS Calibration Coverage

The Forester is the most common Subaru we calibrate - EyeSight has been standard since 2019, and the all-new 2025 model adds upgraded EyeSight with Emergency Driving Stop. The Outback has carried EyeSight since 2014, the longest-running EyeSight model in the UK range. The XV (now replaced by the Crosstrek) remains common on UK roads with EyeSight from 2017 onward.

We calibrate ADAS systems on 6 Subaru models across the Subaru Global Platform (Forester, Outback, Crosstrek, XV, Levorg) and the e-Subaru Global Platform (Solterra).

Subaru ADAS Calibration Pricing

Service	Price
Windscreen Calibration	£199
Radar/Sensor Calibration	£349
Collision Calibration	£349
Full System Reset	£499

Most Subaru EyeSight calibrations fall under our £199 windscreen calibration - because the stereo cameras behind the windscreen are the primary sensor system, and windscreen replacement is the most common trigger. No hidden fees, includes a full diagnostic scan.
