Check for functionality of Subaru EyeSight package

Question

I'm purchasing a used Subaru Crosstrek this week. It's a 2017 Sport model with the "Technology Package" meaning it has rear/side vehicle detection (standard on Sport model) plus Subaru's EyeSight package (part of the Technology Package).
Is there any safe way to test the rear/side vehicle detection or or the EyeSight package to make sure they're functional? I can see that there are buttons to turn them on and off, but if they're on, how do you know they're really doing their thing?
Thanks.

The dealer has tools to calibrate the eyesight package (essential if the windscreen ever has to be replaced, for example). They should be able to run a comprehensive test. Yes, it will cost money, but replacing those systems if they're broken would make the vehicle an unrealistic purchase. You can also ask them to do a complete pre-purchase inspection, in case something else is not working correctly (no, not thinking about that CVT transmission at all... which stopped us from buying any more Subaru cars ever again...)
