Active Safety, to help you avoid a collision In control. Out of danger. 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 Vehicle Dynamics Control System, surefooted suspension, 4-wheel antilock brakes, Traction Control System, and quick steering equip the driver with excellent evasive abilities. Oversteer VEHICLE DYNAMICS CONTROL SYSTEM St andard in ever y Legac y, Vehicle D ynamic s Control monitors and analy zes 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 distribution1, engine output and brakes at each wheel are adjusted to assist in keeping the vehicle on course. Ideal cornering Understeer BRAKING SYSTEM The standard 4-wheel disc brakes feature light weight aluminum rear calipers and a strong, reassuring brake feel. The Antilock Braking System (ABS) includes Elec tronic 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. eyesight®2 The most important thing a Subaru can do is protect the people in it. We’re always looking for better ways to do it, and Legacy is available with an innovative driver-assist system that’s watching the road with you: EyeSight®. Like a second pair of eyes to help monitor the road ahead, it watches for potential danger, warns you when it sees potential danger, and can even adjust your speed and braking to help you avoid it.
