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.
