Automatic Transmission Shift Mode
The automatic transmission gives you ultimate 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 forward 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.
X-MODE® (if equipped)
X-MODE® is the
integrated control system
of the engine, AWD
and Vehicle Dynamics
Control system. Press
the X-MODE button to

done by your Subaru Retailer or a
commercial towing service.
