Windshield Wipers
To turn on the wipers, press the wiper control lever down one level for intermittent,
two levels for low, or three levels for high speed. Return the lever to the “OFF”
position to stop the wipers. For a single wipe, move the lever up. To spray washer
fluid, pull and hold the lever toward you. Rotate the dial to adjust the intermittent
wiper speed.
Daytime Running Lights
Daytime running lights are standard on your vehicle. Only the front daytime running
lights will be automatically turned on when the engine has started, the parking

brightness of the illumination of the high beam headlights is reduced by the daytime
running light system. You must always switch on your headlights when it is dark
outside by turning the light switch to the “

Automatic Transmission Shift Modes (if equipped)
The automatic transmission gives you vehicle control with two different driving
modes: Normal Mode and Manual Mode.
Normal Mode
When the selector lever is in the “D” (Drive) position, the tran\
smission is in
Normal shift mode. The shift position indicator on the instrument panel \
shows
“D”, and the transmission automatically shifts into a suitable for\
ward gear.
Manual Mode
In Manual Mode, you select the desired gear position to obtain necessary
acceleration and engine braking. Moving the selector lever left into the\
manual
gate
1 from the “D” (Drive) position causes the transmission to change in\
to
Manual Mode. To shift, use the paddle shift control switches. The shift position
indicator shows the selected gear position.

6-Speed Manual Transmission
This manual transmission is a fully
synchromeshed 6-forward and 1-reverse
speed transmission. Before you can shift into
reverse gear, you must raise the slider ring
and hold it in that position. Only pull the slider
ring up when shifting into reverse gear.
REV Alarm System (WRX STI only)
The REV alarm system automatically issues a
warning using the REV indicator light whenever
the tachometer needle enters the red zone. This
feature can be turned on or off using the multi-
information display. The REV alarm level can be
set manually to an engine speed of your choosing
between 2,000 and 6,700 rpm using the multi-
information display. The multi-information display
is also used to select a warning alarm buzzer in
addition to the light. Please refer to your Owner’s
Manual for more detailed instructions on setting
the engine speed alarm level and selecting the
warning buzzer.

Location of Spare Tire and Jack
A jack and other maintenance tools are stored in the tool bucket in the center of the
spare tire, located in the trunk or cargo area.
Emergency Towing Your All-Wheel Drive Vehicle
Since Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive distributes engine power to all\
four
wheels, improper towing will severely damage your AWD system. A flatbed truck
is the only recommended way to properly transport your AWD vehicle. If towing is
necessary, it is best done by your Subaru Retailer or a commercial towing service.
Subaru Roadside Assistance
Subaru Roadside Assistance is free and standard on your vehicle. Coverage
is automatic; there are no forms to complete. Subaru Roadside Assistance
is available anytime during the 3-year/36,000-mile Subaru Limited Warranty,
whichever comes first.* A Subaru Roadside Assistance decal has been af\
fixed
to the driver’s door window.
Subaru Roadside Assistance: 1-800-261-2155
Exclusions
Specifically excluded from Subaru Roadside Assistance coverage are service
requests or claims resulting from: accidents, vandalism, acts of God, violation
of any laws, misuse and abuse, or vehicle modifications not recommended by
the manufacturer.
*See your Retailer for details.
