DRIVING THE VEHICLE
6-Speed Manual Transmission
The manual transmission is a fully synchronised 6-forward and 1-reverse speed
transmission. To shift into reverse gear, raise and hold the slider ring, shift to the “R”
position, and release the slider ring. Only pull the slider ring up when shifting into reverse
gear.
Automatic Transmission Shift Mode
The Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT)
is electronically controlled and provides two
different driving mode combinations: normal
and manual or normal and low.
Normal Mode
When the select lever is in the “D” (Drive)
position, the transmission is in normal shift
mode. The select lever position indicator in the
Combination Meter Display (CMD) shows “D”
and the transmission automatically shifts into a
suitable forward gear.
Low Mode(if equipped)
Low Mode is for using engine braking when
going downhill, etc. Moving the select lever left
into the “L” position from the “D” (Drive)
position causes the transmission to change into Low Mode. The shift position indicator
shows “L” as the selected gear.
Manual Mode(if equipped)
In manual mode, you select the desired gear position to obtain necessary acceleration and
engine braking. Move the select lever left from the “D” position into the “M” position to
select manual mode. The gear position indicator in the Combination Meter Display (CMD)
shows the currently selected gear. Arrow-shaped indicators show when upshifting or
downshifting is available. To shift, use the paddle shift control switches behind the steering
wheel.

Paddle Shift Control Switches(if equipped)
You can shift gears using the
paddle shift control switches. To
upshift to the next higher gear,
pull the “+” paddle on the right
toward you. To downshift to the
next lower gear, pull the “–”
paddle on the left toward you.
You can temporarily shift gears
even when the select lever is in
the “D” position by pulling either
the “+” or “–” paddle toward you.
Once vehicle speed stabilizes, the
transmission will switch back to
normal mode.
SI-DRIVE(if equipped)
Subaru Intelligent Drive (SI-Drive) has
2 modes: Intelligent (I) and Sport (S). Each
mode is designed for different types of driving:
Intelligent:
The Intelligent (I) mode provides well balanced
performance with greater fuel efficiency and smooth driveability without stress. Power
delivery is moderate during acceleration for maximum fuel efficiency.
Sport:
The Sport (S) mode provides the engine power desired by those who want to make the
driving experience their own personal adventure.

AUTO START–STOP(if equipped)
The Auto Start-Stop system is designed to automatically stop and
restart the engine when the vehicle is stationary for a short period of
time after the engine has warmed up (while waiting for a traffic light
or in a traffic jam, for example). The system operates in order to
reduce fuel consumption, exhaust emissions, and undesired idling
noise. You can learn more about using the Auto Start-Stop system
from the how-to video linked in the QR code and from the sections
below.
Auto Start-Stop System
ON/OFF
If the Auto Start-Stop OFF switch
is pressed, operation of the Auto
Start-Stop system will be
disabled.
NOTE: The system will default to
ON once the vehicle has been
shut off.
The Auto Start-Stop indicator light on the combination meter illuminates in
yellow when the system is disabled. If the switch is pressed once more, the
Auto Start-Stop system will reactivate, and the Auto Start-Stop indicator light
will turn off.

System Operation
So that it can be used safely and comfortably, the Auto Start-Stop system is designed to
constantly monitor vehicle conditions, the environment inside and outside the vehicle, as
well as driver operations, in order to control stopping and restarting the engine.
After the vehicle has been completely stopped by depressing the brake pedal
with the select lever in the “D” position, the engine will be automatically
stopped and the green indicator will illuminate in the combination meter.
If you release the brake pedal with the select lever kept in the “D” position, the
engine will be automatically restarted. The indicator light will turn off when the system
restarts the engine.
There are several operating conditions for this system to operate as intended.
For more information, please refer to “Starting and Operating” in your Owner’s
Manual.
Auto Start-Stop Screen
You can use the “i/Set” and arrow switches to
display the Auto Start-Stop Screen in the
Combination Meter Display (CMD), showing
how much time the engine was off in the top
line and the amount of fuel saved in the
bottom line. Displayed are the total stop time
and fuel saved since the trip meter was reset.
No Activity Detected Indicator Light
If the operational conditions are not met when the vehicle is stopped, the
engine will not stop and the white Auto Start-Stop No Activity Detected
indicator light will illuminate. It will turn off when the brake pedal is released.
Auto Start-Stop Warning Light
The Auto Start-Stop warning light will illuminate in yellow when initially turning
the ignition switch to the “ON” position. The light will turn off after the engine
has started.
NOTE: If the Auto Start-Stop warning light does not turn off after the engine
has started or is flashing, the Auto Start-Stop system may be malfunctioning. We
recommend that you contact your authorized SUBARU retailer for an inspection.

X-MODE®(if equipped)
X-MODE®is the integrated control system of the
engine, All Wheel Drive, and Vehicle Dynamics Control
(VDC) systems for driving with bad road conditions.
Using X-MODE
®, you can drive more comfortably
even in slippery road conditions, such as mud or
snow, including uphill and
downhill. You can activate the
system when the vehicle speed is
less than 12 mph. If the vehicle
speed reaches 25 mph, the
X-MODE
®system is canceled and
can be reactivated once the once
the vehicle speed is lower.

While the system is active, the X-MODE®indicator appears, and the
Multi-Function Display shows vehicle posture and function
operation status. To deactivate X-MODE
®press the X-MODE®
switch again.
In certain situations, such as navigating a vehicle stuck in mud or
snow, it may be helpful to allow more wheel spin by turning off the
VDC system. To turn off the VDC system, push the Vehicle
Dynamics Control OFF switch located on the lower left console.
Push the Vehicle Dynamics Control OFF switch again to reactivate the VDC system.
X-MODE®Dual Mode System (Sport)
To activate the X-MODE®system, press the X-MODE®switch once to select SNOW/DIRT
and again to select DEEP SNOW/MUD. While the system is active, the SNOW/DIRT or
DEEP SNOW/MUD indicator appears in the Combination Meter Display. To deactivate
X-MODE
®, press the X-MODE®switch a third time.
• SNOW/DIRT is suitable for driving on slippery road surfaces such
as snow or gravel, where the points of contact between the tires
and road surface are visible.
• DEEP SNOW/MUD provides maximum torque from the engine
and the optimal amount of slip in the driving wheels, enabling the
vehicle to free itself more effectively. It is suitable for driving on
roads where the tires can become buried, such as deep snow, dry
sand, or muddy roads.
