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 our vehicles
with exceptional control and advanced accident-avoidance technologies to
help keep accidents from happening in the first place. Then, we build every
Subaru with protection technologies that help keep danger out, while help-
ing to keep those inside safe. The end result is a car that—in a worst-case
scenario—is one of your best possible bets.
Stopping Power
Powerful and reliable vented disc brakes are teamed with advanced
technology 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 Tribeca also comes standard with
VDC electronic stability control, which can detect a loss of control
and intervene to help keep you on your intended path.
Increased Awareness
Before you can avoid danger, you have to see it coming. Not only is
the Tribeca designed for excellent visibility on all sides, it’s also available
with a back-up camera. The optional rear-vision camera, with available
3.5-inch display located conveniently in the rearview mirror, gives you a
clear view behind you. Upgrade to the navigation system, and you’ll have
a 7-inch, in-dash display.
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. To further help prevent
injury, an array of sensors, including a rollover sensor, can detect an
impending crash and deploy front, front-side and side-curtain airbags
