Subaru is at the forefront of industry-leading safety innovations, and has become a preferred vehicle choice among parents of teen drivers.  You may have seen commercials featuring Subaru drivers who tell their "I survived" stories. These drivers have experienced firsthand, Subaru's commitment to safety technology, and the results of that commitment.

EYESIGHT® DRIVER ASSIST TECHNOLOGY

Subaru Eyesight is like having an extra set of eyes on the road ahead, and if necessary, an extra foot ready for the brake when you're driving. The 2019 WRX, Outback, Legacy, Impreza, Forester, Crosstrek, and Ascent received the highest rating possible for front crash prevention from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) when equipped with EyeSight. You could even be eligible for added savings on your auto insurance if your vehicle is equipped with options like Subaru EyeSight. And it's been found to reduce the rate of rear-end crashes by up to 85%.

Adaptive Cruise Control is the part of EyeSight that helps you maintain a safe distance from the car in front of you. You choose the distance you want to keep, and EyeSight automatically adjusts your speed to sustain that distance.

Pre-Collision Braking helps to prevent or lessen front crashes by alerting the driver and applying full braking force in emergency situations. A study by the IIHS revealed that pedestrian-related injuries were lowered by 35% when EyeSight was employed.

DRIVERFOCUS®

Distracted drivers account for more than 1,000 injuries each day in the US! The Subaru DriverFocus Distraction Mitigation System is one of the first technologies of its kind, and is another of the top Subaru safety features near Rio Rancho NM.

It works jointly with EyeSight to help detect drowsy or distracted driving, and was developed for new and seasoned drivers alike. If the driver's attention wanders from the road for too long, DriverFocus gives visual and auditory warnings to return attention to the road.  

STARLINK®

STARLINK Safety and Security gives you instant access to help when you need it most. With services such as Automatic Collision Notification, which will quickly send first responders if an airbag deploys, SOS Emergency Assistance, Stolen Vehicle Recovery, and more, STARLINK Safety and Security can help keep you and your Subaru safe no matter where the road takes you.

SYMMETRICAL ALL-WHEEL DRIVE

Whether it's wet, dry, snowy, or off-road, maintaining traction is paramount to safety. One of the best Subaru safety features near Rio Rancho NM is the symmetrical AWD system. Equipped as standard on all Subaru models, it continuously sends power to all four wheels to maximize traction and to reduce the chance of slippage on any road, in any weather condition.

CONTROL & BRAKING SYSTEMS

In conjunction with the traction that Symmetrical AWD gives you, Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC), a stability control system, automatically senses steering and braking inputs to help keep the vehicle on the driver's intended course. The VDC system also includes an all-wheel all-speed traction control system.

In stopping situations, the Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) pulses braking power to help avoid wheel lockup. Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) optimizes the distribution of braking force between the front and rear wheels according to how the vehicle is loaded with passengers and cargo. And the Brake Assist system helps ensure maximum pressure is applied to the brakes as quickly as possible in an emergency situation.

ACTIVE TORQUE VECTORING

Available Active Torque Vectoring proactively applies brakes to the front inner wheel in certain turning situations, improving turn-in, reducing understeer, and helping the vehicle to follow the driver's intended path.

SUBARU SAFETY FEATURES NEAR RIO RANCHO NM: PROTECTIVE SYSTEMS

A ring-shaped reinforcement frame helps provide high-impact protection for the passenger section. An advanced airbag system deploys up to eight airbags, with Crosstrek, Forester, and Outback models also including a rollover sensor. The engine's low placement is designed to allow it to drive under the chassis in a front-end collision, further protecting the passenger area.

REAR VEHICLE DETECTION

Rear Vehicle Detection is what we call the Subaru safety features near Rio Rancho NM that are designed to help maximize driver awareness using Blind-Spot Detection, Lane Change Assist, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, Rear-Vision Camera, and Reverse Automatic Braking.

Using radar sensors, the Blind-Spot Detection system alerts you with a visual indicator in each side mirror if a vehicle is sensed in your blind spots. Lane Change Assist warns you with a flashing indicator in those same mirrors, if it senses a vehicle approaching in an adjoining lane when you signal for a lane change. 

The Rear-Vision Camera gives you a clearer view of the area behind your car, and comes standard on all models.

If traffic is nearing from the side as you're backing up, the Rear Cross Traffic Alert uses radar sensors to warn you; flashing visual indicators in your side mirrors and Rear-Vision Camera display and using audible warnings.

CHILD SAFETY &VISIBILITY

The LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) system makes it easier to properly install baby/child safety seats. Subaru has used this system since the US government incorporated it in 2001.

Every Subaru made is designed for optimal visibility, with generously sized windows and reduced A-pillars, and a standard Rear-Vision Camera. Available LED Steering Responsive headlights actively track in the direction of a turn to enhance visibility, and available High Beam Assist can automatically switch the headlights from high to low beam when an oncoming vehicle is detected.
