Safety Systems
Subaru Vision Assist
Subaru's Vision Assist enhances driver awareness and confidence by using smart sensors and cameras to detect blind spots, approaching vehicles and potential obstacles.
Reverse Automatic Braking
Sonar sensors on Forester's rear bumper help you reverse with confidence, by detecting obstacles, alerting the driver and if necessary, taking action to apply the brakes to help avoid a collision.
Blind Spot Monitoring
Blind Spot Monitor uses rear and side sensors to make lane changes safer, by warning of vehicles detected in the blind spot.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert
The Rear Cross Traffic Alert warns the driver that another car is approaching when reversing out of a car space.
Safety Systems
Driver Monitoring System (DMS)*
Subaru's Driver Monitoring System (DMS)* is an advanced driver-assist technology that uses facial recognition to enhance safety and convenience - alerting drivers to signs of distraction or drowsiness, while also personalising cabin settings for up to five recognised users.*
Safety Designs
Subaru Global Platform
The Subaru Global Platform (SGP) delivers protection for all Subaru Forester occupants via a carefully engineered body structure, featuring a ring-shaped passenger safety cell.
