Brake Assist
This safety feature closely monitors the
pressure you apply to the brake pedal.
If it detects a panic-braking situation,
it helps you avoid collisions by applying
maximum braking force more quickly.
Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC)
Standard on every 2009 Forester, VDC electronic
stability control monitors the path of your
vehicle to help detect unwanted deviations in
your trajectory, and helps correct them to keep
you in control and on the right path.

Side-Curtain Airbags

An array of sensors can deploy any one or

is detected. The Forester features side-curtain
airbags and a rollover sensor to better provide
all-over protection for the driver, front
passenger and outboard rear passengers.

crash—it also helps divert dangerous
impact energy away from occupants.
