Safety


Smart Braking Systems

The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) on Forester prevents wheel lock-up and helps maintain driver control. Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) balances braking, while Brake Assist can sense a panic-stop situation and apply full braking force to help stop faster.

Standard on: All models

The Airbag System (SRS)

Every Forester features a total of seven airbags: front, driver knee, front-seat side, and side-curtain airbags. The advanced system uses an array of sensors, including a rollover sensor, to help deploy the airbags in the most effective way possible.

Standard on: All models

Reinforced Frame

Subaru's ring-shaped reinforcement frame is designed to shield and protect in a collision. Made of high-tensile-strength steel, it directs impact energy around the passenger compartment, rather than through it.

Standard on: All models

Safety Up Front

An energy-absorbing collapsible steering column helps with front-end collisions, and front-seat head restraints that shift forward help prevent whiplash during rear-end collisions.

Standard on: All models

EyeSight® driver assist system

Subaru has gotten even safer with the introduction of EyeSight®. It automatically monitors traffic movement, optimizes cruise control, and warns drivers when they're swaying outside their lane. It can even help slow down the car when danger is lurking.
