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 forw\
ard 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.

Location of
Spare Tire and Jack
A jack handle is stored under the floor
of the trunk (4-door) or the cargo area
(5-door). A jack and a towing hook are
stored in the tool bucket in the center
of the spare tire. Also, a tool bag that

Emergency Towing Your
All-Wheel Drive Vehicle

severely damage your AWD system. A
flatbed truck is the only recommended
way to properly transport your AWD

best done by your Subaru Retailer
or a commercial towing service.
