The road may waver,
but not your priorities.
Safety that meets the highest expectations.
We know what’s most important to you when you drive, and that’s why safety is at the
top of our minds, too. The Forester offers some of the most advanced active safety and
driver awareness features on the market. EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology is standard
on every Forester, while available LED Steering Responsive Headlights with High Beam
Assist 1 can help make nighttime driving even safer. And for obstacles you don’t see
coming, you’re covered with the available Subaru Rear/Side Vehicle Detection (SRVD)
system, featuring Blind-Spot Detection (BSD) and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert (RCTA). 1,2

Blind-Spot Detection Rear Cross-Traffic Alert Reverse Automatic Braking
Using radar sensors, Blind-Spot Detection warns
you with a visual indicator on your side mirror if
it senses a vehicle in your blind spot. Another
feature of this system, Lane Change Assist, 1,2 alerts
you with a flashing indicator on your side mirror
if it senses a vehicle approaching at a higher
speed in a neighbouring lane and you signal for
a lane change. Rear Cross-Traffic Alert uses radar sensors to
help warn you of traffic approaching from the
side as you are backing up, utilising a flashing
visual indicator on your side mirror and Rearview
Camera 1,2 display as well as an audible warning. Reverse Automatic Braking 1,3 can detect objects
directly behind your vehicle when backing up at
a low speed and can help bring the Forester to a
stop should an object be detected within its range
and the driver fail to act. There’s also the Rearview
Camera to help you keep an eye out.

during a lane change or reversing and are not a substitute for safe and attentive driving. 3 The Reverse Automatic Braking System is not a substitute for safe and attentive driving. System effectiveness depends on many factors,
such as vehicle maintenance, weather and road conditions. Always exercise caution and use vehicle mirrors and the Rear-Vision Camera when backing up. See Owner’s Manual for complete details on system operation and
limitations. 4 Activation with subscription required. 5 EyeSight® is a driver assist technology, which may not operate optimally under all driving conditions. The driver is always responsible for safe and attentive driving. System
effectiveness depends on many factors such as vehicle maintenance, weather and road conditions. The Pre-Collision Braking System is designed to provide automatic braking that either prevents a collision or reduces the severity
of a frontal impact. Pre-Collision Throttle Management is designed to reduce acceleration and minimize the severity of certain frontal impacts. Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control and Brake Light Recognition are designed to assist
the driver and are not substitutes for safe and attentive driving. Lane centring function operates only when used in conjunction with Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control. The Lane Departure and Sway Warning, and Lane Keep
Assist operate only when the lane markings are visible and its effectiveness depends on many factors. See Owner’s Manual for complete details on system operation and limitations. 6 The DriverFocus safety technology is a driver
