CAUTION
.All the indicators will flash in the
event that the driver’scontrol
center differential has a malfunc-
tion. Have the vehicle inspected
by your SUBARU dealer.
.If a malfunction occurs in the
vehicle (for example, when the
rear differential oil temperature
warning light illuminates), all of
the indicators may disappear and
the setting value for the initial
limited slip differential (LSD) tor-
que of the driver’s control center
differential (C.DIFF/DCCD) may
be cancelled. However, it does
not indicate a malfunction of the
C.DIFF/DCCD itself.
The driver’s control center differential
allows you to freely change the degree of
limitation of the differential action (limited
slip differential (LSD) torque) of your
vehicle’s center differential.
By using the center differential control
switch, you can set an initial LSD torque
to match the road surface conditions,
driving conditions and your driving style.The driver’s control center differential has
the following modes.
.Auto mode: the system automatically
adjusts the initial LSD torque.
.Manual mode: you can change to the
desired mode manually by using the
center differential control switch.
NOTEIf you rapidly depress and release the
accelerator pedal while driving at low
speed, you may hear a knocking sound
from the vicinity of the center differen-
tial and rear differential. This sound
occurs because of the structure of the
center differential. It does not indicate a
problem.
&To change mode of driver’s
control center differentialPress the“AUTO-MANU”switch on the
center console to switch from auto mode to
manual mode or vice versa. When you
select the auto mode, the“AUTO”indicator
appears. When you select the manual
mode, the“AUTO”indicator disappears.

Cleaning the interiorUse a soft, damp cloth to clean the climate
control panel, audio equipment, instru-
ment panel, center console, combination
meter panel, and switches. (Do not use
organic solvents.)&Seat fabricRemove loose dirt, dust or debris with a
vacuum cleaner. If the dirt is caked on the
fabric or hard to remove with a vacuum
cleaner, use a soft brush then vacuum it.
Wipe the fabric surface with a tightly wrung
cloth and dry the seat fabric thoroughly. If
the fabric is still dirty, wipe using a solution
of mild soap and lukewarm water then dry
thoroughly.
If the stain does not come out, try a
commercially-available fabric cleaner.
Use the cleaner on a hidden place and
make sure it does not affect the fabric
adversely. Use the cleaner according to its
instructions.
CAUTION
When cleaning the seat, do not use
benzine, paint thinner, or any similar
materials. Doing so could damage
the surface and cause the color todeteriorate.
&Leather seat materialsThe leather used by SUBARU is a high
quality natural product which will retain its
distinctive appearance and feel for many
years with proper care.
Allowing dust or road dirt to build up on the
surface can cause the material to become
brittle and to wear prematurely. Regular
cleaning with a soft, moist, natural fiber
cloth should be performed monthly, taking
care not to soak the leather or allow water
to penetrate the stitched seams.
A mild detergent suitable for cleaning
woolen fabrics may be used to remove
difficult dirt spots, rubbing with a soft, dry
cloth afterwards to restore the luster. If
your SUBARU is to be parked for a long
time in bright sunlight, it is recommended
that the seats and head restraints be
covered, or the windows shaded, to pre-
vent fading or shrinkage. Make sure to
remove any seat covers and head restraint
covers when operating the vehicle.
Minor surface blemishes or bald patches
may be treated with a commercial leather
spray lacquer. You will discover that each
leather seat section will develop soft folds
or wrinkles, which is characteristic of
genuine leather.
&Synthetic leather upholsteryThe synthetic leather material used on the
SUBARU may be cleaned using mild soap
or detergent and water, after first vacuum-
ing or brushing away loose dirt. Allow the
soap to soak in for a few minutes and wipe
off with a clean, damp cloth. Commercial
foam-type cleaners suitable for synthetic
leather materials may be used when
necessary.
CAUTION
Strong cleaning agents such as
solvents, paint thinners, window
cleaner or fuel must never be used
on leather or synthetic interior ma-
terials. Doing so could damage the
surface and cause the color to
deteriorate.

&Climate control panel, audio
panel, instrument panel, con-
sole panel, and switchesUse a soft, damp cloth to clean the climate
control panel, audio equipment, instru-
ment panel, center console, combination
meter panel, and switches.
CAUTION
.Do not use organic solvents such
as paint thinners or fuel, or
strong cleaning agents that con-
tain those solvents. Doing so
could damage the surface and
cause the color to deteriorate.
.Do not use chemical solvents that
contain silicone on the vehicle
audio system, electrical compo-
nents of the air-conditioner or
any switches. If silicone adheres
to these parts, it may cause
damage to electrical compo-
nents.
&MonitorTo clean the audio/navigation/multi-func-
tion display monitor, wipe it with a silicone
cloth or with a soft cloth. If the monitor is
extremely dirty, clean it with a soft cloth
moistened with neutral detergent then
carefully wipe off any remaining detergent.
CAUTION
.Do not spray neutral detergent
directly onto the monitor. Doing
so could damage the monitor’s
components.
.Do not wipe the monitor with a
hard cloth. Doing so could
scratch the monitor.
.Do not use cleaning fluid that
contains thinner, fuel, or any
other volatile substance. Such
cleaning fluid could erase the
lettering on the switches at the
bottom of the monitor.
Steering wheel with ultra-
suede covering (if equipped)In order to maintain the characteristic
texture and appearance of ultra-suede,
regular cleaning of the steering wheel is
recommended.NOTEIf the steering wheel is used continually
without cleaning, the surface will ap-
pear worn. This is due to dirt from
hands and other sources which causes
the ultra-suede fibers to harden. This is
not a defect.
Follow the procedure below and perform
cleaning.&Regular cleaningIt is recommended that regular cleaning
(approximately once a month) be per-
formed by following the procedure below.
1. Dampen a cloth or similar item with
warm water at approximately 1048F
(408C), then strongly wring it out and wipe
over the entire steering wheel.
2. When the surface of the ultra-suede is
dry, use a lint brush or similar means to
straighten the fibers.
