automatic transmission SUBARU LEGACY 2020 Getting Started Guide

DRIVING THE VEHICLE
Automatic Transmission Shift Mode
The Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT)
is electronically controlled and provides two
different driving modes: normal and manual.
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
In manual mode, you select the desired gear
position to obtain necessary acceleration and
engine braking. Move the selector 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
• You can shift gears using the paddle shift controlswitches. 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 selector 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.
