2014 Impreza Safety Features

front passenger airbag is on or off based on occupant weight (app 80lbs)


EDR, Event Data Recorder information.
 I
n the event of an impact, the EDR will freeze data including how various systems were operating, for example if seatbelts were buckled, if the gas or brake pedals were pressed, and vehicle speed. No personal data is stored. To read data, special equipment is required. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer (Subaru), other parties such as law enforcement that have the equipment can read the information if they have access to the vehicle or EDR.  Existing laws generally provide that information in an EDR is confidential and is the property of the owner of the motor vehicle. Information is accessed through the airbag system using a Subaru service computer.

Airbags: Side airbags front and rear 
Airbags: Side Curtain Airbags, front and rear
Front passenger airbag- All 2013/2012 Imprezas models use a front passenger seat Occupant Detection System called Electrostatic Capacitance Sensor ODS.
When anyone is seated or when anything is placed on the front passenger seat, there is a change to that capacitance value. This change in capacitance value is what the Electrostatic Capacitance Sensor ODS uses to determine whether the front passenger seat airbag (SRS) will be ON or OFF. When water or anything with high moisture content is spilled on the front passenger seat cushion, the airbag is designed to remain OFF until the seat cushion is dry. This will also be the case if the passenger has moisture on their clothing, such as rain-soaked pants or rain gear. In each of these situations, the airbag status may remain OFF even if a passenger is seated. Everything that is placed on the seat will affect a change in capacitance value. Plastic, metals and other substances, even if at a heavy weight, will not change the OFF status of an airbag. A false electrical charge, for example, those caused by laptops that are processing data, cellphones that are on or even an electric device connected to a car charger can cause the airbag status to switch to ON




all Imprezas have, con't

Whiplash protection front seats 
> Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) on all models
>
Headrests- front headrests are both tilt and height adjustable
>
Steering wheel tilt and telescoping function to get a comfortable position
> Headlights are Auto-off with ignition key removal, warning chime with lights back on.
>
Collapsible foot pedals to reduce risk to feet in accidents

> Brakes: anti-lock 4 wheel disc brakes with EBD electronic brake force distribution, Brake assists for maximum brake pressure, and brake pad release return springs to prolong pad life.

Brakes: Brake Override System, if gas and brake pedals are pressed at the same time, the brakes stop the car
Brakes: brake return springs, helps eliminate some brake wear
Brakes: EBD, electronic brake force distribution varies front/rear brake power

ALL IMPREZAS ARE MADE IN JAPAN

subject ot change, correction
feature
4 door sedan
5 door hatchback
Engine
code FB20
2.0L 1995cc 4 cylinder, engine code FB20  (in the 2011, the Impreza  had 2.5L 4 cyl boxer SOHC)
Horizontally Opposed Boxer design
DOHC with timing chain (not a belt)
16 valve
Sequential multi-port fuel injection, common rail
Dual Active Value Control System DAVCS
Bore x Stroke 3.31" x 3.54"
Compression 10.5:1
Redline- 6600 RPM
Horsepower/Torque 148HP @ 6,200 rpm, torque 145lb-ft @4200 rpm. (in 2011 it was 170@6000rpm, 170torque@4400rpm)
All Wheel Drive
standard on all models. Its a Subaru!
All Wheel Drive plus stability and traction control is standard on all models.
Manual transmission models have "Continuous" all wheel drive with 50/50 front/back power split, mechanically controlled.
CVT models use "Active" all wheel drive with electronically controlled front/back power split. Mostly front wheel drive under normal driving conditions.
Tune-up specs Idle speed, CVT and manual-  650rpm +/-50
Spark plug NGK SILZKAR7B11
Ignition timing, CVT and manual- 16* +/- 10
Firing order 1-3-2-4
Oil and oil filter capacity 5.3qts
Oil- 0w-20 synthetic required
Engine Super Coolant - 8.2 qts
Fuel economy
(2011 models- Manual 5 speed- 20/27, 
Automatic 4 speed- 20/27mpg)
14.5 gallon tank (12.1 imperial gallons)
4 door sedan
manual transmission- city/highway 25/34 , combined 28mpg
5 door manual transmission- city/highway 25/33, combined 28mpg
4 and 5 door CVT 27/36, combined 30mpg


MPG estimates are based on a mix of driving, and your mileage may be less. Short trips, cold weather, fast freeway speeds, stop and go driving all lower economy.
To maximize economy, avoid hard starts. With this new 2.0L smaller engine with 148hp, some people tend to press on the throttle more to accelerate faster and that will hurt economy.
Transmission S- manual 5 speed  1st gear 3.454, 2nd 1.888, 3rd 1.296, 4th 0.972, 5th 0.738, final 4.111.
Note- there is no 'up shift' light with a manual transmission
O- CVT automatic. Standard on Limited models. 
CVT transmission what is it
This is the 2nd generation 'Lineartronic' Continuously Variable Transmission and is the only automatic transmission available in 2.0L  Impreza models. It was first used in the 2012 Imprezas.

What is a Lineartronic CVT transmission
CVT is an acronym for Continuously Variable Transmission. 'Lineartronic' is Subaru's brand name for their CVT. 
CVT is a gearless chain drive transmission that efficiently matches RPMs and power  for better fuel economy because the engine runs at its most efficient RPM over a range of speeds. 
The Subaru CVT uses a chain.
> Premium and Limited models have steering wheel mounted paddle shifters with 6 selected settings, or 'gears', for drivers who want more control and better performance.
> Maintenance: uses Subaru CVT  oil. The oil does not need to be changed unless driven under very hard or frequent towing in which case replace at 25000 miles. There is no dipstick.
> Background: Used in the 2010 and 2011 Legacy and Outback.  Subaru's 1989 Justy EVCT was the first production car in the U.S with a CVT, and Fuji has sold their technology to other companies, and they still use it in small cars in Japan. Other companies using a version of a CVT recently are the Toyota hybrids under the name Hybrid Synergy Drive (ie Prius, Highlander, Camry, Lexus etc), Honda Civic hybrid, Nissan Murano, BMW's Mini Cooper more Subaru glossary and terms

PZEV emissions- what is it
What is PZEV, a brief, simple summary

All 2014 Imprezas have clean burning PZEV emissions.

The EPA says a PZEV is clean running gas engine car based on emissions testing for carbon-containing compounds, oxides of nitrogen, particulate matter, and other tailpipe nastiness.
1. A charcoal canister catches unburned gas left in the engine when it's turned off so it doesn't just evaporate. 
2. Fuel injectors that close tighter when they're not in use.
3. A finer mesh in the catalytic converter, as well as optimized placement of its precious metal.
4.  The engine's electronic brain is tuned to run the hot at start up to help the catalytic converter heat up so it can start doing its job faster.
