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 modes: 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.
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.
Low Mode(if equipped)
Low Mode is for using engine braking when going down hill, 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.

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.
X-MODE®Standard System
To activate the X-MODE®system, press the X-MODE®switch. While the system is active, the
X-MODE®indicator appears, and the Multi-Function Display shows steering direction, vehicle
angle, and power distribution. 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 D. SNOW/MUD. While the system is active, the X-MODE®indicator
appears, and the Multi-Function Display shows steering direction, vehicle angle, and
power distribution. 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.
• D.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 a roads where the tires can become buried, such as deep snow, dry sand,
or muddy roads.

VOICE RECOGNITION
With SUBARU STARLINK®, simple voice commands can control
features like navigation, entertainment, phone calls, and, on select
models, climate control. A microphone is located in the overhead
console; however, you do not need to speak directly into it to
activate the voice command features.
Visit
www.subaru.com/engineering/starlink/multimedia.htmlfor more
information.
Press the Voice Recognition "talk" button on the steering wheel to
start the voice recognition system. Press and hold the button to
cancel the system.
For help with what features are available with voice recognition, press the "Help" button on
the screen or press the voice recognition button and say "Help".
Tips
The system may not recognize the voice command due to various types of interference.
Some causes for voice command interference are:
• The command is spoken too quickly or at a low or high volume.
• The command is incorrect or unclear.
• The window is open, the climate control system is set on high, or the ventilation is
directed toward the microphone.
• Passengers are talking while the command is spoken.
In some cases, you may not be able to use voice commands if the system cannot properly
recognize the command. For example, the command is incorrect or unclear.
NOTE: The system is designed to recognize a variety of commands, but certain words,
accents or speech patterns may be difficult for the system to recognize.
Google Assistant:May not work with all devices or may not be compatible with the audio
system.
Siri Eyes Free:Press and hold the Voice Recognition Button when your phone is
connected via bluetooth for Siri Eyes Free.
