Operating
Front Hood and Hood ScoopDue to the lightweight material, a slight vibration
is normal at higher speeds and will not affect the
durability of the hood. To avoid deforming the
front hood when closing, do not press down
on the hood with your hands. You can release
your hold on the front hood approximately
12 inches above the closing position and its
weight should cause it to close securely.
Driver Control Center
Differential (DCCD)
(Impreza WRX STI only)This system adjusts the torque-distribution
ratio between the front and rear wheels
of the center differential to suit driving and
road surface conditions. The DCCD can be
operated automatically or manually. When
the system is in the automatic mode, the

make a vibration or noise when the vehicle is in
tight turns at slow speeds (torque binding). In addition, if the rear differential oil
exceeds a certain temperature, the DCCD will automatically cancel the current
torque-distribution ratio setting and adopt its minimum ratio.
Front Fender VentsThe front fender has functional side vents that increase
air flow through the engine compartment. This provides
additional cooling for the intercooler and engine.
Limited Slip Differential
(Impreza WRX STI only)The Limited Slip Differential (LSD) provides optimum distribution of power according to
the difference in revolution between the right and left rear wheels that may be caused
by certain driving conditions, thereby improving driving stability on snow-covered,
muddy or other slippery roads or during high speed driving. Due to the nature of this
mechanical Limited Slip Differential, the rear differential gears may make a vibration
and/or noise when making turns. When servicing the LSD, use only specified gear oil.
TiresThe factory-fitted tires on your vehicle are summer
tires. Summer tires are high-speed capability tires
best suited for highway driving under dry conditions.
Summer tires are inadequate for driving on slippery
roads, such as on snow-covered or icy roads. If you drive your vehicle on
snow-covered or icy roads, we
strongly recommend the use
of winter (snow) tires for all four
wheels. Please note that these
originally equipped summer
tires offer advanced grip
performance and will wear out
quicker than ordinary tires.

impact sensors is located under the
center console. If you need service
or repair in those areas or near the
front seatbelt retractors, have the
work performed by your authorized
SUBARU dealer.NOTEIf the front part of the vehicle is
damaged in an accident to the extent
that the seatbelt pretensioner does not
operate, contact your SUBARU dealer
as soon as possible.
& Precautions against vehicle
modificationAlways consult your SUBARU dealer if
you want to install any accessory parts to
your vehicle.
CAUTION
Do not perform any of the following
modifications. Such modifications
can interfere with proper operation
of the seatbelt pretensioners.
. Attachment of any equipment
(bush bar, winches, snow plow,
skid plate, etc.) other than genu-
ine SUBARU accessory parts to
the front end.
. Modification of the suspension
system or front end structure.
. Installation of a tire of different
size and construction from the
tires specified on the vehicle
placard attached to the driver ’s
door pillar or specified for indivi-
dual vehicle models in this Own-
er ’s Manual.
Child restraint systemsInfants and small children should always
be placed in an infant or child restraint
system in the rear seat while riding in the
vehicle. You should use an infant or child
restraint system that meets Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standards or Canada
Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, is com-
patible with your vehicle and is appro-
priate for the child ’s age and size. All child
restraint systems are designed to be
secured in vehicle seats by lap belts or
the lap belt portion of a lap/shoulder belt
(except those described in “Installation of
child restraint systems by use of lower and
tether anchorages (LATCH) ”F 1-29).
Children could be endangered in an

Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags
system may or may not activate the
front passenger ’s SRS frontal airbag
depending on the occupant’ s seating
posture. If the front passenger ’s SRS
frontal airbag is activated (the ON
indicator remains illuminated while
the OFF indicator turns off), take the
following actions.
. Ensure that no article is placed on
the seat other than the occupant.
. Ensure that there is no article left in
the seatback pocket.
If the ON indicator still remains illumi-
nated while the OFF indicator turns off
despite the fact that the actions noted
above have been taken, seat the child/
small adult in the rear seat and im-
mediately contact your SUBARU dealer
for an inspection. Even if the system
has passed the dealer inspection, it is
recommended that on subsequent trips
the child/small adult always take the
rear seat.
Children who have outgrown a child
restraint system should always wear the
seatbelt irrespective of whether the airbag
is deactivated or activated. !
Conditions in which front passen-
ger’s SRS frontal airbag is activated
The front passenger ’s SRS frontal airbag
will be activated for deployment upon
impact when any of the following condi-
tions are met regarding the front passen-
ger ’s seat.
. When the seat is occupied by an adult.
. When a heavy article is placed on the
seat.
CAUTION
When the front passenger ’s seat is
occupied by an adult, observe the
following precautions. Failure to do
so may lessen the load on the front
passenger ’s seat, deactivating the
front passenger ’s SRS frontal airbag
despite the fact that the seat is
occupied by an adult. This could
result in personal injury.
. Do not allow the rear seat occu-
pant to lift the front passenger ’s
seat cushion using his/her feet.
. Do not place any article under the
front passenger ’s seat, or
squeeze any article from behind
and under the seat. This may lift
the seat cushion.
. Do not squeeze any article be- tween the front passenger
’s seat
and side trim/pillar, door or cen-
ter console box. This may lift the
seat cushion.
! If the passenger ’s frontal airbag OFF
indicator illuminates and the ON
indicator turns off even when the
front passenger ’s seat is occupied
by an adult
This can be caused by the adult incor-
rectly sitting in the front passenger ’s seat.
