Brake Assist
This safety feature closely monitors the
pressure you apply to the brake pedal.
If it detects a panic-braking situation,
it helps you avoid collisions by applying
maximum braking force more quickly.
Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC)
Standard on every 2009 Tribeca, VDC electronic
stability control monitors the path of your
vehicle to help detect unwanted deviations in
your trajectory, and helps correct them to keep
you in control and on the right path.

Exceptionally strong, the frame design
of the Tribeca not only helps to maintain
cabin integrity during a crash—it also

An array of sensors can deploy any one or
more of the six airbags the instant an
accident is detected. The Tribeca features side-
curtain airbags and a rollover sensor to better
provide all-over protection for the driver, front
passenger and 2nd-row outboard passengers.
For Subaru, the only thing more important than
the driving experience of our vehicles is that you
arrive safely at your destination. This commitment
to
protect
drivers with multidimensional safety is
what made each and every Subaru model tested
an IIHS 2008 Top Safety Pick.
