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 helping 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

engine provide you with the outstanding control you need
to react to hazards. Every Tribeca also comes with standard 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 3.3-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
