Subaru Active and Passive Safety
When it comes to feeling confident, nothing is more important than feeling safe. That’s
why Subaru places safety as one of our highest priorities, and why we think about safety
in 360 degrees. First, we engineer the Legacy with exceptional control and advanced
accident-avoidance technologies to help keep accidents from happening in the first
place. Then, we build it with protection technologies that have made it a Top Safety
Pick,
2 2006 –2009. The end result is a car that—in a worst-case scenario—is one of your
best possible bets.
Protected
from every angle.
Stopping Power
Powerful and reliable vented disc brakes are teamed with advanced
technologies to help you stop short of danger. Antilock brakes help
make sure you don’t lose traction, and the advanced Brake Assist
system helps ensure maximum pressure is applied to the brakes as
quickly as possible in an emergency situation.
Exceptional Control
Safety begins with avoidance. The traction and balance of Subaru
Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and the stability of the SUBARU
BOXER
® engine provide you with the outstanding control you
need to react to hazards. Every Legacy also comes standard with
VDC electronic stability control, which can detect a loss of control
and intervene to keep you on your intended path.
Increased Awareness
Before you can avoid danger, you have to see it coming. The all-new
Legacy is now available with the rear vision camera. This feature—
standard with the navigation system—gives you a clear view of the area
behind your vehicle, so you can always be in charge of your surroundings.
All-around Protection
Our Ring-shaped Reinforcement Frame is exceptionally
strong for maximum resistance to impact energy, while its
unique configuration helps divert that energy away from
occupants. Also, front, front-side and side-curtain airbags
