Automatic Transmission Shift Mode
The 5-speed automatic transmission or the Continuously Variable Transmission
(CVT) 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.

Safety/In Case of Emergency
Child Restraint System
Your vehicle is equipped with Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren (LATCH). For maximum
safety, first carefully read the LATCH system instructions from the device manufacturer, as
well as the installation instructions in your Owner’s Manual, to properly install the LATCH
compatible restraint system. Use the appropriate seatbelts or anchorages provided in your
vehicle. Children age 12 and under must properly occupy the rear seat at all times.
Child Safety Locks
The child safety locks are located on the inside edges of the rear doors. In the locked position,
the rear doors can only be opened from the outside.
Internal Safety Trunk Release with Self-Illuminating Handle
In the event that children or adults become locked inside the trunk, this luminescent handle
allows them to open the lid from inside the trunk. To open, simply pull the yellow handle
downward as indicated by the arrow on the handle, and then push up on the lid.

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. Raise the center lid and remove the
bucket from the center of the spare tire. Take the jack out of the bucket. The jack
handle is stowed on the back of the floor cover of the trunk.
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.
