These terms from Subaru-speak.Many other sites have good information. Please check links below

ACTIVE safety: helps prevent accidents:

All Wheel Drive:
Continuous AWD: Subaru manual transmissions use Continuous AWD, normally 50/50 front-to-back power split and use a mechanical viscous center differential to to vary the power split when there is a loss of traction.
Active AWD: Subaru's automatic transmission use Active AWD, mostly front wheel drive and uses traction sensing computer input to electronically vary the front to rear power split via a hydraulic multi-plate transfer clutch.
VTD AWD (variable torque distribution). New in 2001, VTD transfers powers front to back electronically. The power split is 45/55 front/rear and the rear bias is designed for a nicer, more luxury car feel as opposed to the front bias of the Active AWD system. Usually 45/55 front to back split but that varies according to wheel slippage. In 2003 VTD AWD is used on Outback VDC, GT with Sport Shift automatic transmission and Impreza WRX with automatic transmission

Anti-lock Brakes (ABS): A brake system that prevents wheel lockup in hard braking conditions so the driver can maintain control and not skid. Anti-lock brakes will 'pulse' when activated under firm brake pedal pressure because they are pumping the brakes at a very high rate.

PASSIVE safety

Daytime driving lights: front (only the front) lights are automatically on when the car is moving. These may be less bright than normal headlight beams.

SEAT BELTS
Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR): pull the belt all the way out and it locks into place and ratchets back. Easy for adjusting child seats.
Seat belt Pre-tensioners: automatically tightens the seatbelt in the event of an accident reducing the force which the occupant will hit the belt
ELR: Emergency Locking Retractor: allows the seatbelt to move free until rapid deceleration is detected at which time the belt locks.

AIRBAGS (SRS - Supplemental Restraint System): A safety air bag inflates to prevent the driver from colliding with the steering wheel or and the passenger with the front dashboard. Designed to activate in moderate to severe front impacts. The bag deflates within milliseconds. Must be used with seat belts. Most airbags after 1998 are de-powered and deploy with less force than earlier versions so people who sit closer to them may experience less initial contact.
Newer front airbags deploy according driver's position and distance form the steering wheel, the passenger side deplys according to passenger weight

Side Air Bags: air bags that deploy in side impacts to cushion and prevent the occupant from hitting the interior. Subaru's side airbags are seat mounted. Used with seat belts.

Side Curtain Airbags airbags that run above the top of front and/or rear side windows and drop down to protect the occupant's head from hitting the window in a side impact.

Airbag danger: Try to sit app 10" from the airbags. Folks are not hurt by airbags because of height, weight or age. Usually they were too close to the air bag or were not properly belted in and they were thrown forward toward the airbag as it came toward them.
Avoid being too close. Adjust the seat position. Need to sit close? Consider pedal extenders. Infants and children under 12 should always sit in the back seat. Many newer cars detect front occupant position or weight to determine how or if the bag deploys.

On-Off Switches: airbag on-off switches are available only by petitioning for an airbag exception. Requires an unsafe rear seat such as a supercab truck with sidefacing seats, or cars with no back seat, or when someone with a medical condition requires them to sit in the front passenger seat.
See links below for more information.

Tire pressure monitoring US Safety regulations require all new 2008 and newer 4-wheeled vehicles weighing 10,000 lbs or less to have with a monitoring system detecting a 25% drop in tire pressure.
TIre Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) measures tire pressure using a small sensor inside each wheel. When a tire drops app 25% in pressure a warning light on the dashboard comes on. You then need to check each tire to see which one is low. Cold weather will cause a pressure drop because cold air is less dense than warm so the monitor may come on in seasonally.

All information subject to change and correction.
LATCH Child Seat System: (Lower Anchors and Tether for CHildren): consists of lower child seat anchors at the base of the rear seats and a tether attachment in the rear. This allows a child seat to be firmly and securely anchored at the base and top to minimize movement. Requires a newer seat (2002?) with the appropriate attaching straps. Check your child seat for specifics.

The child seat tether holds the child seat upright and prevents it from tipping forward. The headrest in the photo could be removed
All information subject to change and correction.

Required on all vehicles and child safety seats manufactured on or after September 1, 2002.
Cars, minivans, and light trucks will be required to have anchor points between the vehicle's seat cushion and the seat back in at least two rear seating positions, and a top
tether anchor (with the exception of convertibles).  Child safety seats will have a lower set of attachments that fasten to the vehicle anchors.  Most forward-facing child
safety seats will also have a top strap (tether) that attaches to the top anchor in the vehicle. Together they make up the LATCH system.

     Why? LATCH bars avoid seat belt incompatibility from different types of seat belt retractors, different belt anchor locations (too far forward), plus
     differing vehicle belt routings that people found confusing.

     Where are the anchors: The anchor bars are in the crease of the rear seats. By law, the vehicle LATCH bar spacing is standardized at 11 inches (280mm)
     so that both the flexible (webbing) and rigid (metal) type of LATCH attachments will work in all vehicles.

     How many seats? Very few vehicles could fit three LATCH positions across a back seat. It was decided that at least two are needed in back seats but
     vehicle manufacturers can optionally add more if they fit. In limited cases, it's possible to use the inboard LATCH bars to put a seat in the center position, but
     for this to be safe, this method must be specifically allowed by the child restraint manufacturer for that model restraint. There are limits as to how wide and
     narrow is safe for use by a child seat. Use the vehicle seat belts in the center rear unless the child restraint model instructions specifically say the center
     inboard bars are ok.

     Retrofit? Yes, there may be a kit, contact your seat manufacturer to see if they make a retrofit kit for your child seat. Do not use a kit from anothe
     rcompany, the design of the system and angles of attachment could be different enough to cause crash loads that would break the system. Don't mix parts
     from different manufacturers no matter how similar they might look.

June 1, 2007  New child seat safety law in Washington State. Effective June 1, 2007 children will have to stay in the safety seats until they are at least 8 years old and 4 feet, 9 inches tall. The new law also requires children to use booster seats until they are 16 years old if a vehicle's seat belt does not properly fit the child. Also children younger than 13 should ride in the back seat whenever possible, they're allowed to ride in the front only if the vehicle has no lap-and-shoulder belts in the back seat. Read the law
2/15/2007 Crash test results Safety crash test Legacy and Outback: NHTSA the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced that 24 2007 passenger vehicles, including the Subaru Legacy and Outback, received five stars in front and side crash tests, the highest government rating under the agency’s New Car Assessment Program. the full report
11/20/2006 Tribeca, Forester XT Sports, Legacy GT sedan with Navigation are on the list of only 13 cars that earned the top rating from Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (www.IIHS.org).
"The Institute rates vehicles good, acceptable, marginal, or poor based on performance in high-speed front and side crash tests plus evaluations of seat/head restraints for protection against neck injuries in rear impacts. The first requirement for a vehicle to become a TOP SAFETY PICK is to earn good ratings in all three Institute tests. A new requirement for 2007 is that the winning vehicles must offer ESC Ielectronic stability control). This addition is based on Institute research indicating that ESC significantly reduces crash risk, especially the risk of fatal single-vehicle crashes, by helping drivers maintain control of their vehicles during emergency maneuvers."
Only 13 2007 models earned the top rating. They are Large car: Audi A6 manufactured in Dec. 2006 and later; Midsize cars: Audi A4, Saab 9-3, Subaru Legacy equipped with optional electronic stability control; Minivans: Hyundai Entourage, Kia Sedona Luxury SUV: Mercedes M class, Volvo XC90; Midsize SUV: Acura RDX, Honda Pilot, Subaru B9 Tribeca; Small SUV:Honda CR-V,  Subaru Forester equipped with optional electronic stability control.
ALSO-RANS Rear protection isn't good. These vehicles earned good ratings in front and side crash tests. They have electronic stability control, standard or optional. They would have won 2007 TOP SAFETY PICK awards if their seat/head restraints also had earned good ratings. Instead rear crash protection is rated acceptable, marginal, or poor (Honda reports that the seat/head restraints in the only Civic model with electronic stability control wouldn’t be rated good).
Acceptable rear protection: Audi A3, BMW 3-series 4dr, Lexus IS 250/350; Marginal rear protection: Acura TL, Honda Odyssey, Lexus ES 350, Lexus GS 350, Toyota Camry, Toyota FJ Cruiser, Toyota Prius, Toyota RAV4; Poor rear protection:Honda Accord 4dr, Infiniti M35, Nissan Quest, Toyota Avalon, Toyota Sienna"

6/27/2006  Subaru Forester has ranked highest in independent Used Car Safety Ratings (UCSR) announced in Australia.  The 2006 UCSR studied more than 1.7 million crashes of 305 different vehicle models over a 17-year period.  For the first time in the study’s history, a ‘standout’ car was identified, with Subaru’s Forester (1997-2002) rating as top performer. The UCSR is the world’s largest study of vehicle crashes and is conducted by the Monash University Accident Research Centre and supported by the RACV, the Transport Accident Commission (TAC), and VicRoads, as well as other state and federal road authorities and motoring clubs from Australia and New Zealand. from car.co.nz
