Pull the switch rearward to reduce the
initial LSD torque. When the lowest posi-
tion of the driver’s control center differen-
tial indicator is displayed, the initial LSD
torque will be minimum.
CAUTION
.Do not operate the control switch
when a wheel slippage occurs.
Wait until the wheelspin has been
brought under control.
.Under any of the following condi-
tions after setting to the manual
mode, pull the center differential
control switch to minimize the
initial LSD torque:
–When a temporary spare tire is
installed–When your vehicle is towed
–When the vehicle is stopped
with the manual mode se-
lected
NOTE.A higher initial LSD torque setting
gives the vehicle greater traction when
driving straight ahead but makes cor-
nering more difficult. Remember this
when adjusting the initial LSD torque.
In general, higher initial LSD torque
settings assist driving on slippery
roads and lower settings for non-slip-
pery roads. When the vehicle is stuck in
snow or mud, setting the initial LSD
torque to the maximum will help to free
the vehicle.
.The setting of the initial LSD torque
will remain even when the auto mode is
selected or the ignition switch is turned
to the“LOCK”/“OFF”position. How-
ever, the initial LSD torque will be
minimized when the battery is discon-
nected and reconnected.
.During cornering or when making
turns (especially when going into the
garage), the rotational difference be-
tween the front and rear wheels may
cause a braking effect accompanied by
vibration and noise. This does notindicate a problem. The phenomenon
will disappear when setting the initial
LSD torque to the minimum.
In the auto mode, it controls the initial
LSD torque automatically. While in the
auto mode, this phenomenon some-
times occurs depending on the driving
condition, however, it does not indicate
a problem.
.Use the center differential indicator
only as a rough indication of the initial
LSD torque.
.If you operate the center differential
control switch while quickly accelerat-
ing or turning a tight corner, you may
feel slight shocks. This is due to
differential action by the center differ-
ential and does not indicate a problem.
&Temporary releaseWhen the driver stops the vehicle and pulls
the parking brake lever after manually
setting the initial LSD torque, the LSD
torque is temporarily minimized. However
the indicator on the combination meter
continues to show the driver’s selected
initial LSD torque. When the driver re-
leases the parking brake lever, the initial
LSD torque set by the driver is restored.

!Except STI
When you select the Sport Sharp (S#)
mode with the select lever in the“D”
position, the transmission gear ratio will
shift from variable speed to eight-speed.
The select lever/gear position indicator
display will change from“D”to the gear
position.
When selecting Sport Sharp (S#) mode,
the following controls will be applied.
.Uphill control
Prevents unnecessary shift-up/shift-down
during ascent.
.Cornering control
While turning, if there is a large centrifugal
force, shift-up will not occur: during re-
acceleration.
.Braking control
At the beginning of corners etc., heavy
application of the brake pedal will cause
automatic downshift and gently re-accel-
erate.
.Sudden acceleration return control
During acceleration, if acceleration pedal
is returned suddenly (for example, at
corners etc.), shift-up will not be applied.
&SI-DRIVE switch
NOTE.The next time you turn on the engine,
the following SI-DRIVE mode will be
selected.
–Intelligent (I) mode if you have
turned off the engine in the Intelli-
gent (I) mode
–Sport (S) mode if you have turned
off the engine in the Sport (S) mode
or Sport Sharp (S#) mode
.If the CHECK ENGINE warning light/
malfunction indicator light illuminates
during engine operation, the SI-DRIVE
mode changes to the Sport (S) mode. In
this case, it is not possible to change to
the Sport Sharp (S#) mode or Intelligent
(I) mode.
.If the engine coolant temperature
becomes so high that the engine could
overheat, it is not possible to change to
the Sport Sharp (S#) mode. While the
vehicle is in the Sport Sharp (S#) mode,
it changes to the Sport (S) mode when
the engine coolant temperature in-
creases.
.If any of the SI-DRIVE indicators
blink, the SI-DRIVE system may be
malfunctioning. Contact your SUBARU
dealer.!STI
