Subaru RAB stands for Reverse Automatic Braking. It is a safety feature available on many new Subaru models that helps prevent rear-end collisions and accidents when backing up. If something unexpected is detected behind the vehicle while in reverse, the RAB system automatically applies the brakes to prevent a collision.
The RAB feature is part of the EyeSight Driver Assist system, which includes various safety enhancements in Subaru vehicles. It is designed to provide an additional layer of protection by helping drivers avoid accidents and collisions.
It’s worth noting that some Subaru owners have reported issues with the RAB system, such as sensor misreadings that cause autonomous braking when there are no obstacles behind the car. Regularly cleaning the RAB sensors can help prevent such issues.
If you have further questions about the Subaru RAB system or need troubleshooting information, it is recommended to contact your local Subaru dealer for assistance.
