Subaru 2.5 XS L.L.BEAN Automobile User Manual


 
THE SUBARU DRIVING EXPERIENCE evokes many emotions. Confidence should always be one of them. Which is why every
Subaru is engineered according to the principles of ”Active Driving/Active Safety“. Proactive safety components such as
full-time Symmetrical AWD and 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes (ABS) with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) provide
the driver with outstanding vehicle control during evasive maneuvering. And when the unexpected becomes the unavoidable,
a cocoon of passive safety features, which includes a Ring-Shaped Reinforcement Frame body structure, front and rear
crumple zones, side-impact air bags, and more, work together to help insure all occupants are as safe and sound as possible.

Standard side head/chest air bags help protect both
driver and front passenger from side-impact collisions.
Advanced front air bags with dual-stage deployment
vary their inflation rate based on impact severity, to help
provide optimal protection for the driver and front passenger.
Active front seat head restraints help protect against
potential whiplash in a collision.
A Ring-Shaped Reinforcement Frame helps dissipate
crash-impact energy away from occupants.
