In control. Out of danger.
WHAT’S INSIDE:
Legacy’s all-wheel-drive traction, natural agility, and active safety systems are always ready to
help step around danger that comes your way.
WHAT IT DOES:
Since we know the best way to survive an accident is to steer clear of it, a confident and quick
reaction helps keep you out of harm’s way.
ACTIVE SAFETY, TO HELP YOU AVOID A COLLISION
Many of the same features which make a Legacy fun to drive also keep its occupants out of harm’s way. The stable, responsive
handling of its Subaru Symmetrical Full-Time AWD is enhanced by the low centre of gravity of its SUBARU BOXER® engine.
Its available Vehicle Dynamics Control System, surefooted suspension, 4-wheel antilock brakes, Traction Control System, and
quick steering equip the driver with excellent evasive abilities.

BRAKING SYSTEM
Standard in every Legacy, Vehicle Dynamics Control monitors and
analyzes if the vehicle is following the driver’s intended course via
an array of sensors. If the vehicle approaches the limits of stability,
the AWD torque distribution, engine output and brakes at each
wheel are adjusted to assist in keeping the vehicle on course.
The standard 4-wheel disc brakes feature lightweight aluminum
rear calipers and a strong, reassuring brake feel. The Antilock
Braking System (ABS) includes Electronic Brake-force Distribution,
to reapportion front/rear braking pressure when the vehicle is
loaded. Brake Assist provides greater force in sudden braking even
if the driver doesn’t brake hard enough. And Subaru’s Hill Holder
helps prevent rollback when starting off on a five percent or steeper
grade, by applying the electronic parking brake and automatically
releasing it once you’re underway.
