When driving
■Automatic gear selection when the vehicle is stopped
When the vehicle is idling at high rpm in order to warm up, and the vehicle is
on a slippery road, the transmission may automatically shift to 2
nd gear for
stopping and starting off.
■
Temporary manual mode driving
Temporary manual mode driving will be deactivated and normal D position
driving will be returned to in the following situations:
●When driving for longer than the set time (the set time differs according
to driving conditions).
●When the vehicle comes to a stop.
●When the accelerator pedal is continually depressed for longer than the
set time.
●When the accelerator pedal is fully, or near-fully, depressed.Temporary manual mode driving can be
changed to by operating the paddle shift
levers while the select lever is in the D
position.
When this occurs, the selected gear and
“D” are displayed on the shift position and
shift range indicator.
(When engine speed rises close to the
red zone, upshifting will be automatically
performed.)

2-4. Using other driving systems

When driving
Driving assist systems
When the TRAC/Vehicle stability control (VSC) systems are operating
The slip indicator light will flash
while the TRAC (brake LSD
function)/Vehicle stability control
(VSC) systems are operating.
To help enhance driving safety and performance, the following sys-
tems operate automatically in response to various driving situations.
Be aware, however, that these systems are supplementary and
should not be relied upon too heavily when operating the vehicle.
■ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)
Helps to prevent wheel lock when the brakes are applied suddenly, or if
the brakes are applied while driving on a slippery road surface
■Brake assist
Generates an increased level of braking force after the brake pedal is
depressed when the system detects a panic stop situation
■Vehicle stability control (VSC)
Helps the driver to control skidding when swerving suddenly or turning
on slippery road surfaces
■TRAC (Traction Control)
Helps to maintain drive power and prevent the drive wheels from spin-
ning when starting the vehicle or accelerating on slippery roads.
The TRAC system is also equipped with the brake LSD function.
■Electric power steering
Employs an electric motor to reduce the amount of effort needed to turn
the steering wheel

221 2-4. Using other driving systems
2
When driving
■Turning off both TRAC and Vehicle stability control (VSC) systems
To turn the TRAC and Vehicle stability control (VSC) systems off, press and
hold for more than 3 seconds while the vehicle is stopped.
The Traction Control System OFF indicator light and the Vehicle stability
control (VSC) off indicator light will come on.
In this case, the brake LSD function remains on.
Press the button again to turn the systems back on.
■Automatic reactivation of TRAC and Vehicle stability control (VSC) sys-
tems
After turning the TRAC and Vehicle stability control (VSC) systems off, the
systems will be automatically reactivated in the following situations:
●Vehicles without a keyless access with push button start system: When
the engine switch is turned to “LOCK” position
●Vehicles with a keyless access with push button start system: When the
push-button ignition switch is turned off
●If only the TRAC system is turned off, the TRAC will turn on when vehicle
speed is more than approximately 31 mph (50 km/h).
If both the TRAC and Vehicle stability control (VSC) systems are turned
off, automatic reactivation will not occur when vehicle speed increases.
■Automatic deactivation of Vehicle stability control (VSC) SPORT mode
Vehicles without a keyless access with push button start system
When the engine switch is turned to “LOCK” position after driving in Vehicle
stability control (VSC) SPORT mode, the mode is automatically deactivated.
Vehicles with a keyless access with push button start system
When the push-button ignition switch is turned off after driving in Vehicle sta-
bility control (VSC) SPORT mode, the mode is automatically deactivated.
■Sounds and vibrations caused by the ABS, brake assist, TRAC and
Vehicle stability control (VSC) systems
●A sound may be heard from the engine compartment when the brake
pedal is depressed repeatedly, when the engine is started or just after the
vehicle begins to move. This sound does not indicate that a malfunction
has occurred in any of these systems.

253 3-1. Using the air conditioning system and defogger
3
Interior features
■Ventilation and air conditioning odors
●To let fresh air in, set the air conditioning system to the outside air mode.
●During use, various odors from inside and outside the vehicle may enter
into and accumulate in the air conditioning system. This may then cause
odor to be emitted from the vents.
●To reduce potential odors from occurring:
• It is recommended that the air conditioning system be set to outside air
mode prior to turning the vehicle off.
• The start timing of the blower may be delayed for a short period of time
immediately after the air conditioning system is started in automatic
mode.
■Air conditioning filter
oP. 326
WARNING
■To prevent the windshield from fogging up
Do not use during cool air operation in extremely humid weather. The
difference between the temperature of the outside air and that of the wind-
shield can cause the outer surface of the windshield to fog up, blocking your
vision.
CAUTION
■To prevent battery discharge
Do not leave the air conditioning system on longer than necessary when the
engine is stopped.

255 3-1. Using the air conditioning system and defogger
3
Interior features
■The defoggers can be operated when
Vehicles without a keyless access with push button start system
The engine switch is in the “ON” position.
Vehicles with a keyless access with push button start system
The push-button ignition switch is in “ON” mode.
■The outside rear view mirror defoggers (vehicles with outside rear view
mirror defoggers)
Turning the rear window defogger on will turn the outside rear view mirror
defoggers on.
■When continuous operation is set (vehicles with an automatic air con-
ditioning system)
During continuous operation, the defogger stops operating for 2 minutes
after every 15 minutes of continual operation. Even during the 2 minutes that
operation stops, the operating light remains illuminated. The rear window
defogger will continue to operate in this cycle until it is turned off.
■Customization that can be configured at SUBARU dealer (vehicles with
an automatic air conditioning system)
The rear window defogger can be set to 15-minute operation or continuous
operation. (Customizable features oP. 443)
WARNING
■When the outside rear view mirror defoggers are on (vehicles with out-
side rear view mirror defoggers)
Do not touch the outside surface of the rear view mirrors, as they can
become very hot and burn you.
CAUTION
■To prevent battery discharge
Do not leave the rear window defogger on longer than necessary when the
engine is stopped.

3-5. Other interior features
Outside temperature display
■The outside temperature is displayed when
Vehicles without a keyless access with push button start system
The engine switch is in the “ON” position.
Vehicles with a keyless access with push button start system
The push-button ignition switch is in “ON” mode.
■Display
In the following situations, the correct outside temperature may not be dis-
played, or the display may take longer than normal to change:
●When the vehicle is stopped, or moving at low speeds (less than 12 mph
[20 km/h])
●When the outside temperature has changed suddenly (at the entrance/
exit of a garage, tunnel, etc.)
■When “- -” is displayed more than 1 minute or the outside temperature
is not displayed
The system may be malfunctioning. Take your vehicle to your SUBARU
dealer. The temperature display shows temperatures within the range of
-40°F (-40°C) and 122°F (50°C).
The outside temperature dis-
play can be switched by
pressing the “DISP” switch.
