ACTIVE | Hazard Avoidance
ACTIVE | Hazard Avoidance
Made possible by the SGP and Symmetrical AWD, the lower centre of gravity design, enhanced suspension system, and rigidity improvements provide a vehicle that responds immediately when evasive actions are taken, helping avoid hazards on the road.

ACTIVE | Vehicle Dynamics Control System + Active Torque Vectoring
ACTIVE | Vehicle Dynamics Control System + Active Torque Vectoring
Vehicle Dynamics Control System adjusts AWD torque distribution, engine output, and brakes at each wheel to help keep the vehicle on course. And with Active Torque Vectoring, brakes are applied and less torque is distributed to the inside wheels and more to the outside wheels for more precise handling, helping you make sharp turns when necessary.
ACTIVE | Auto Vehicle Hold
ACTIVE | Auto Vehicle Hold
When the vehicle is at a complete stop, Auto Vehicle Hold keeps the vehicle in place even when the brake pedal is released, reducing driver fatigue in stop-and-go traffic.
PASSIVE | Ring-shaped Reinforcement Frame
PASSIVE | Ring-shaped Reinforcement Frame
The Ring-shaped Reinforcement Frame makes better use of high-tensile steel panels and has been structurally redesigned for more efficient energy absorption from impacts in all directions.
PASSIVE | Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)* Airbags
DISCLAIMER
* Effective when used in conjunction with seatbelts.
PASSIVE | Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)* Airbags
Front SRS* airbags, front side SRS* airbags, curtain SRS* airbags, and a knee SRS* airbag come standard on the Forester to give all passengers a higher level of protection in the event of a collision.
DISCLAIMER
* Effective when used in conjunction with seatbelts.
PASSIVE | Cabin-protecting Layout
PASSIVE | Cabin-protecting Layout
The reinforced pillars and frame all work together within the Forester's SGP design to absorb collision impact from all sides to protect all passengers. In the event of a frontal collision, the engine and gearbox are designed to be pushed below the vehicle instead of crashing into the cabin.
SUBARU EYESIGHT
PREVENTIVE | Subaru EyeSight Driver Assist Technology
EyeSight*1, Subaru's cutting-edge driving support system, works like a second pair of eyes for the road ahead, using a pair of stereo cameras to capture colour images with excellent image recognition—nearly as capable as the human eye. When spotting potential danger, such as vehicles, motorbikes, bicycles, and pedestrians*2, it warns the driver and applies the brakes when necessary, enabling even more confident driving and peace of mind.

DISCLAIMER
*1 EyeSight is a driving support system which may not operate optimally under all driving conditions. The driver is always responsible for safe and attentive driving and observance of traffic regulations. System effectiveness depends on many factors such as vehicle maintenance, weather, and road conditions. See Owner’s Manual for complete details on system operation and limitations for EyeSight including functions in this brochure.
*2 Pre-Collision Braking System may not work in all situations. Depending on the speed difference from objects, the object’s height, and other conditions, every situation may not meet the necessary conditions for EyeSight to work optimally.

EYESIGHT FEATURES
Adaptive Cruise Control
When it senses a vehicle in front, Adaptive Cruise Control maintains a set distance from the vehicle ahead by continuously monitoring the distance and speed difference and adjusting the engine, transmission, and brakes to keep your speed in line with traffic flow from about 0 km/h to 180 km/h. Designed for use on freeways, highways, and similar roads, it can detect a lead vehicle and its brake lamps to keep pace in stop-and-go highway traffic, reducing fatigue on long drives.

Lane Sway and Departure Warning
At speeds of about 60 km/h or more, Lane Sway Warning helps you stay alert with a buzzer and flashing indicator if it detects lane drift or sway. At speeds of about 50 km/h or more, Lane Departure Warning sends you a buzzer alert and flashing indicator when it detects lane departure without signaling.

Lead Vehicle Start Alert
When you're at a stop and traffic starts moving again, Lead Vehicle Start Alert prompts you to take action with a buzzer and a flashing indicator.

Lane Keep Assist
Unless the turn signal is being used, Lane Keep Assist can help with steering wheel operation when it detects lane departure, when driving at speeds of approximately 60 km/h or more.

Pre-Collision Braking System*
Pre-Collision Braking can warn you with a buzzer and flashing indicator when it senses an impending collision with an obstacle in front. If no evasive action is taken, the system can apply the brakes to avoid or reduce frontal impact. If evasive action is taken, the system can help the driver apply full braking force.

Pre-Collision Throttle Management
When there is an object in front and you put the gear in Drive instead of Reverse, Pre-Collision Throttle Management can alert you with a buzzer and a flashing indicator, and cuts engine power to minimise possible impact force and frontal damage.

SUBARU BOXER ADVANTAGES
V-type EngineSUBARU BOXER EngineIn-line Engine
What are its advantages?
The flat design of the SUBARU BOXER engine provides more stability and balance for better cornering, representing Subaru's dedication to advanced driving safety. In the event of a frontal collision, the low placement design pushes the engine below the cabin, reducing risk of passenger injury.
