SI-DRIVE(if equipped)
Subaru Intelligent Drive (SI-Drive) has
2 modes: Intelligent (I) and Sport Sharp (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 Sharp:
The Sport Sharp (S#) mode offers an exhilarating level of engine performance and control.
The throttle becomes more responsive regardless of the engine speed. Delivering
maximum driving enjoyment, this mode is ideal for driving on twisting roads and for
merging or overtaking other vehicles on the freeway with confidence.

OPERATING THE VEHICLE

AUTO START–STOP
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 (while waiting for a traffic light or in a
traffic jam) after the engine has warmed up. The system operates in order to reduce fuel
consumption, exhaust emissions and undesired idling noise.
Auto Start-Stop System ON/OFF
The Auto Start-Stop system can be turned on
and off in the Center Information Display (CID)
by using the Auto Start-Stop button on the
Home screen.
NOTE: The system will default to ON after the
vehicle has been shut off.
When the Auto Start-Stop system is turned OFF, the Auto Start-Stop OFF indicator
light in the combination meter display will illuminate. This is a solid yellow indicator.
System Operation
So that it can be used safely and comfortably, in addition to driver operations, the Auto
Start-Stop system is designed to constantly monitor the vehicle conditions as well as the
environment inside and outside the vehicle, in order to control stopping and restarting of
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.
If you release the brake pedal with the select lever kept in the “D” position, the
engine will be automatically restarted.
Auto Vehicle Hold (AVH) also integrates seamlessly with Auto Start-Stop functions. With
AVH, the parking brake automatically applies, so you can sit without your foot on the brake
pedal. To restart the engine, just gently press down on the accelerator pedal.
OPERATING THE VEHICLE
39

If the engine is temporarily stopped by the system, the Auto Start-Stop indicator light on
the combination meter will illuminate in green. This indicator light will turn off when the
system restarts the engine.
There are several operating conditions for this system to operate as intended. Please refer
to the Owner’s Manual for further information.
Fuel Saving Display
Once the Auto Start-Stop System has stopped
the engine, the Fuel Saving Display will appear
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. These 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 Auto Start-Stop No Activity Detected indicator
light will illuminate. This indicator is solid white when illuminated. It will turn off
when the vehicle begins to drive.
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 or is flashing
yellow after the engine has started, the Auto Start-Stop system may be malfunctioning. We
recommend that you contact your authorized SUBARU Retailer for an inspection.

FUEL FILLER LID
The fuel filler lid is located toward the rear of the
passenger side. To open the lid:
1. Make sure your Subaru is stopped and the select
lever is placed in PARK. Then turn the ignition to
the "LOCK"/ "OFF" position.
2. The fuel filler lid is automatically unlocked when the
ignition is moved to the ”LOCK”/OFF” position, or
by unlocking using the access key fob/transmitter
or door handles.
3. Push the rear side of the lid.
4. When the lid opens slightly, open it further by hand.
While refueling, place the fuel filler cap on the cap
holder inside the lid.
After refueling, put the cap back on and turn it
clockwise until you hear a clicking noise. Be certain
not to catch the tether under the cap while tightening.
To close the lid, press it until you hear it latch.
NOTE: If the fuel filler cap is not tightened until it clicks or if the tether is caught under the
cap, the Check Engine warning light may illuminate.
FUEL
Use regular unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 AKI or higher. Do not use fuels
with more than 10% ethanol for 2.5 L models or 15% ethanol for 2.4 L models.
For more information, please refer to the Owner’s Manual.
