PASSIVE SAFETY

Ring-shaped Reinforcement Frame
The Ring-shaped Reinforcement Frame strengthens the passenger cabin ’ s roof , doors , pillars and floor . This design helps divert and dissipate impact energy away from the occupants in a collision by use of highstrength materials and strategic placements . While making it stronger with increased torsional rigidity , the overall frame is still lightweight .
Actual model trim may vary .

ACTIVE SAFETY
Visibility
With a commanding perspective and front and rear visibility at the top of its class , the Ascent keeps the driver aware and at ease on narrow roads and in tight spaces . Blind spots are kept to a minimum with well-positioned A-pillars and integrated partition windows . The side mirrors have also been placed onto the door panels , creating a remarkably open field of view .
This system detects obstructions behind the vehicle and automatically applies the brakes when it judges that the risk of collision is high . Reverse Automatic Braking also incorporates a rear obstruction warning feature , which signals drivers using different patterns of alarms according to the distance from the obstruction .
Subaru Rear / Side Vehicle Detection ( SRVD ) 3
The Subaru Rear / Side Vehicle Detection ( SRVD ) system features Blind-Spot Detection with Lane Change Assist that sees where you don ’ t and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert to warn you of traffic approaching from the side when you ’ re backing up .
