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.

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.

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.

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.
