Subaru 2005 Outback - Manual (Page 18)

THE SUBARU DRIVING EXPERIENCE evokes many emotions. Confidence should always be one of them. Which is why every
Subaru is engineered according to the principles of “Active Driving/Active Safety.” Proactive safety components such as full-time
Symmetrical AWD and 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes (ABS) with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) help provide the
driver with outstanding vehicle control during evasive maneuvering. And when the unexpected becomes the unavoidable,
a cocoon of passive safety features, including a Ring-Shaped Reinforcement Frame with enhanced side-impact protection ,
front and rear crumple zones, side curtain air bags, and more, work in unison to help keep all occupants safe and sound.

A newly designed Ring-Shaped Reinforcement Frame
helps dissipate crash impact energy away from occupants.
An intelligent front air bag system with dual-stage deployment
senses driver’s seat position and front passenger seat occupancy
to determine the safest air bag inflation level for each.
Standard side curtain air bags help protect both front and
rear outboard passengers from side impacts.
Active front seat head restraints help protect against
potential whiplash in a collision.
