That’s because the all-new Forester has
the latest generation of safety systems.
These include:
Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) - uses
advanced sensors to monitor and analyze if
the vehicle is following the driver’s intended
course. When the limits of stability are
approached, the system automatically
adjusts the AWD torque distribution
(on models equipped with the CVT
transmission), engine output and brakes
at each wheel to help keep the vehicle
on-course. This gives drivers of all abilities
added security under all possible scenarios.
Superior Visibility - A redesigned
A-pillar and partition windows have been
integrated into the front doors to reduce
blind spots. The side mirrors have been
placed on the door panels to create
improved visibility (forward and rear).
