All-around Safety

Experience peace of mind with Subaru's All-around Safety, protecting you in a wide range of scenarios. The all-new Forester prioritises your safety with EyeSight* technology and enhancements to the Subaru Global Platform. Plus, the Emergency Driving Stop System keeps you well-protected behind the wheel, detecting and responding to potential driver-related issues.

* 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.

Primary Safety

Outstanding visibility, optimal driving position, and intuitive controls help keep you safe from the moment you enter your vehicle.

LED Cornering Lamps

The LED cornering lamps help illuminate the vehicle's front during turns, helping with early detection of pedestrians and bicycles to prevent accidents.

Steering Responsive Headlights (SRH)

See better around corners in the dark for safer nighttime driving. These headlights turn with steering input to aim your lights in the direction your vehicle is turning.

Aspherical Passenger Side Mirror

An aspherical side mirror enables safer lane changes, reducing blind spots and expanding your view for improved visibility.

Active Safety

Core technologies like Symmetrical AWD and Subaru Global Platform allow precise control of the basic elements of driving—driving, turning, and braking.

Active Torque Vectoring

Enhances handling during turns by applying brakes to the inner wheels and redistributing drive power to the outer wheels for smoother and more precise manoeuvring.

Vehicle Dynamics Control System

Limits unstable vehicle behavior like lateral slip by monitoring and adjusting wheel braking and engine torque, for precise control on the road.
<sg-lang1>Auto Vehicle Hold</sg-lang1><sg-lang2></sg-lang2><sg-lang3></sg-lang3>

Auto Vehicle Hold

Keeps your vehicle stationary without requiring the brake pedal, reducing driver fatigue in traffic or on slopes. The switch is conveniently located for easy access on the centre display.

Preventive Safety

Advanced safety technologies help avoid collisions before they happen. For more details, please see the EyeSight* section.

Emergency Driving Stop System

Can automatically bring the vehicle to a complete stop when it detects a prolonged period without steering input by the driver, indicating a potential emergency situation. This helps prevent collisions and ensures the safety of both occupants and others on the road.

Subaru Rear Vehicle Detection (SRVD)

Radar sensors detect objects, swiftly alerting the driver with LED indicators and warning sounds for enhanced safety.

Reverse Automatic Braking (RAB)

Detects obstacles while reversing, alerting the driver with a buzzer and flashing indicator and can apply brakes if necessary to prevent collisions.

<sg-lang1>Multi View Monitor</sg-lang1><sg-lang2></sg-lang2><sg-lang3></sg-lang3>

Multi View Monitor

Provides a comprehensive view of your surroundings, combining camera feeds from various angles. Easily assess potential hazards and obstacles to prevent accidents during parking and reversing.

Passive Safety

Designed to keep you safe in the event of a collision with features such as the cabin-protecting engine layout, Subaru Global Platform, and SRS* airbags.

<sg-lang1>Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)* Airbags</sg-lang1><sg-lang2></sg-lang2><sg-lang3></sg-lang3>

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)* Airbags

A far side airbag enhances protection from side collisions. Paired with a passenger seat cushion airbag for improved frontal collision safety, the all-new Forester helps protect you with nine airbags in total.
<sg-lang1>Ring-shaped Reinforcement Frame</sg-lang1><sg-lang2></sg-lang2><sg-lang3></sg-lang3>

Ring-shaped Reinforcement Frame

Protects the cabin area with structurally redesigned high-tensile steel panels for better collision impact energy absorption from all directions.
* Effective when used in conjunction with seatbelts.
The driver is always responsible for safe and attentive driving and observance of traffic regulations. Please do not depend solely on these safety features for safe driving.
There are limitations to the features of this system. See Owner’s Manual for complete details on system operation and limitations. Please ask your retailer for more details.
