Subaru Active and Passive Safety
You’ll find our commitment to safety in almost every aspect of Subaru design. From a
uniquely poised All-Wheel Drive system, to a one-of-a-kind engine that can help protect
you in an accident, we’ve created each of our vehicles with active and passive safety
systems that make a Subaru—in a worst-case scenario—one of your best possible bets.
This passionate commitment to your confidence was the reason Subaru was the only
manufacturer to have each of its vehicles named a 2010 IIHS Top Safety Pick
1
, and why
we continue to win safety accolades year after year.
It’s more than engineering.
It’s a promise.
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 help keep you on your intended path.
Increased Awareness
Before you can avoid danger, you have to see it coming. The Legacy
features the available rear-vision camera. This feature gives you a clearer
view of the area behind your vehicle, so you can 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

—standard on every
Legacy—surround outboard occupants in the event of a crash to
further help prevent injury.
