Safety Features in the 2006 Subaru WRX STI Car

Safety starts with symmetrical AWD

Active safety begins with the Subaru symmetrical full-time All-Wheel Drive system, which offers sure-footed traction and control in a variety of road and weather conditions. From snow-covered back roads to rain-sticked highways. The 2006 Impreza car gives drivers the confidence of being backed by more than 30 years of Subaru AWD expertise. The Subaru symmetrical full-time All-Wheel Drive system also provides the Impreza with the rock-solid stability to confidently carve through winding roads and sharp corners or blaze its own trail through rougher terrain. Because the Impreza's symmetreical All-Wheel Drive system is full-time, its benefits can be appreciated throughout every journey - even on dry, pristine roads.


Braking

In addition to the active safety benefits of the Subaru symmetrical full-time All-Wheel Drive system and the car's superb chassis, a 4-wheel/4-channel/4-sensor Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) is also standard on all 2006 Impreza models. Working through sensors at all four wheels. ABS prevents wheels from locking up during heavy braking, allowing the driver to apply the brakes and steer away from trouble at the same time. ABS provides outstanding safety and control, even during emergency manoeuvres or in inclement wether conditions.

They are also equipped with Electronic Brake-Force Distribution (EBD), which detects passenger and cargo load and then controls the balance between front and rear brakes to help distribute brake force more effectively when the vechicle is weighed down.

Beyond the braking performance offerd by its ABS and EBD systems, This 2006 Impreza WRX STI models also boast new 4-piston calipers and 292 x 24 mm ventilated discs up front as well as 2-piston calipers and 288 x 18mm ventilated discs in the rear.

In the 2006 Impreza WRX STI, active safety is augmented by huge ventilated performance Brembo brakes with a Super Sport 4-wheel/4-channel/5 sensor Anti-lock Braking System (ABS). The Super Sport system is aided by a g-load sensore, which helps to make sure that braking forces are distributed effectively during cornering while braking - which makes it ideal for both accident avoidance maneuvres and high-performance driving.


Airbags, seatbelts and passive safety head restraints

All 2006 Impreza WRX STI feature dual front side-impact airbags as well as dual "smart" front airbags governed by a sophisticated system that detects passenger weight seatbelt use and driver seat position before deploying the airbags accordingly. In the event of a rear-end collision, both driver and front passenger seats on the car feature passive safety head restraints, which move forward automatically to cradle the head and neck, lessening the risk of whiplash. The front seatbelts feature pretensioners and load limiters while an ISO-FIX LATCH child seat anchor system and a trio of three-point seatbelts and head restraints come standard in the rear.


Ring-shaped reinforcement frame

In the event of an accident, Subaru's exceptional passive safety technologies help to offer a 360-degree barrierof protection. The 2006 Impreza's ring-shaped reinforcement frame has been designed to provide best-in-class collision safety. The Impreza also features energy-absorbing crumple zones, side-impact door beams and has earned the highest possible rating in frontal offset crash tests conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.


Pedestrian protection

Thanks to energy-absorbing front bumpers and innovative wipers that break away when subjected to enough force, the 2006 Impreza not only protects its driver and occupants, but also those outside the car. The Impreza's WRX STI hood is also designed to minimize pedestrian injury in the event of a collision. Due to the distance between the hood and the compact SUBARU BOXER engine, pedestrains are less likely to come into contact with the engine in the event of collision.

Subaru B5-TPH Concept Car

Image
The Subaru B5-TPH is a stylish coupe/wagon/crossover conce pt car that Subaru stresses is not the next Impreza. Its main focus is not the exterior styling so much as Subaru's Turbo Parallel Hybrid (TPH) powertrain, which is linked to the company's trademark symmetrical four-wheel-drive system. That's a shame, since the B5-TPH is the best-looking vehicle to come out of Subaru's studios in some time. TPH places a thin electric motor generator between the car's 2.0-liter Miller-cycle flat-four turbo engine and the automatic transmission. The Miller-cycle technology, which we last saw in the mid-1990s Mazda Millenia near-luxury sedan, improves engine efficiency by reducing pumping losses due to a power stroke that is longer than the compression stroke. Often, this system makes an engine unresponsive at low speeds, but with the electric motor, Subaru claims, standing-start torque is better than ev...

Maintaining your Turbo Charged Impreza Car Engine

Image
Starting and Stopping your Engine ( including Turbo Timers) When starting the engine, do not press the throttle at the same time! The engine management system is programmed to automatically adjust the settings and if you should press the throttle during the sequence it is actually possible to cause the system to shut down with the result of a non starting car. (A couple of owners have reported a more persistent starting problem. When the dealer connected the "select monitor" to the ECU, a fault in the crank sensor was reported: a new crank sensor cured the starting problems) In order to prolong engine life, a few common sense rules should be followed when starting and stopping the engine of your Impreza. When starting the engine from cold, you should avoid hard acceleration or high revs (i.e. boost conditions on turbo cars) until the engine has fully warmed up. Most engine wear occurs within the first few minutes after starting when the engi...

Auto Insurance Glossary

Wondering what all the terminology in your auto insurance policy means? Below is a glossary for your reference. Accidental Death Coverage Accidental death coverage is sometimes a part of your auto insurance policy's Personal Injury Protection or First Party Benefits plans. If someone who's covered dies from accident-related injuries, this type of auto insurance coverage may provide a payment to the insured's designated beneficiary. Actual Cash Value You'll see this term a lot in auto insurance policies or if you ever have to file an auto insurance claim. That's because most auto insurance coverage reimburses you only for the actual cash value of your car. Your car's actual cash value is calculated by determining its original value, minus the amount your car has depreciated since you bought it. Adjuster An adjuster is the person who investigates and settles auto insurance claims. Agent/Broker Agents a...
