• With 7 airbags (front, front seat side torso/pelvis, side curtain, and driver's knee), the 2014 Forester uses a rage of sensors to help deploy the airbags in the most effective way.
• The ring-shaped reinforcement frame is designed to shield and protect in a collision. Made of high-tensile strength steel, it directs impact energy around the passenger compartment, rather than through it.
• The Antilock Braking System (ABS) prevents wheel lock-up and helps maintain driver control. Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) balances braking, while Brake Assist can sense a panic-stop situation and apply full braking force to help stop faster.

• Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC), a stability control system, automatically senses steering and braking inputs to help keep the vehicle on the driver's intended path.

• Using two cameras mounted by the rearview mirror to monitor traffic, the EyeSight^® Driver Assist system reacts to conditions even before you do. An alert will be sounded along with a visual warning when it senses danger of a collision. It even will apply the brakes automatically if you don't. It can also optimize cruise control and warn drivers when they're swaying outside their lane. Another way Subaru technology is looking out for you.
