All-wheel drive isn't unique. But Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive is. Its ideal balance ensures stability and poise. And its efficiency at transmitting power ensures greater grip and quick response to slippage. Providing more than just safety on slick roads, it delivers intensified performance on any road.

Working in conjunction with the 4-channel, 4-sensor ABS, EBD maximizes stopping power by optimally apportioning power front to rear under heavy braking. So you are better equipped to stop when you need to stop.

Daytime Running Lights (DRL) are low beams that are illuminated during the daytime in an effort to improve contrast and make the vehicle easier to see. Studies have shown that DRL's have helped reduce fatal and nonfatal collisions between oncoming vehicles by about 5 percent, and helped reduce fatal collisions between vehicles traveling in the opposite direction by about 23 percent

The Subaru 4-wheel independent suspension makes sure you're ready for any driving condition. Its low-friction design and specific spring and shock absorber tuning, help keep the four wheels in contact with any road surface (paved or unimproved), making the most efficient use of All-Wheel Drive. Because each wheel functions independently, unexpected dips and bumps are no problem; the suspension easily absorbs road irregularities, so each tire stays right where it belongs — on the road.

This feature comes standard on the B9 Tribeca and some of our Outback models. This stability system helps keep you on your intended path by measuring variables such as steering input, braking and vehicle angle. Sensing any slide that causes the vehicle to deviate from your intended course, VDC applies individual brakes and/or reduces engine power to counteract the slide and help keep you safely in control.

Standard on B9 Tribeca and 3.0-liter Outback models, this system measures air pressure in each tire. A dash-mounted indicator light informs the driver that a tire's pressure has dropped below a safe level. The system turns on between 9 and 22 miles per hour and measures air pressure in all tires at once every minute.
