control switches. To upshift to the next higher
gear, pull the “+” paddle on the right toward
you. To downshift to the next lower gear, pull
the“–” paddle on the left toward you.

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 Combination Meter Display (CMD).
The REV alarm level can be set manually to an
engine speed of your choosing between
2,000 and 6,700 rpm. The Combination Meter
Display (CMD) is also used to select a warning
alarm buzzer in addition to the light. Please

level and selecting the warning buzzer.
SI-Drive
Subaru Intelligent Drive (SI-Drive)
SI-Drive has 3 modes; Intelligent (I), Sport (S) and Sport Sharp (S#). Each mode is
designed for different types of driving:
•Intelligent:The Intelligent (I) mode provides well balanced performance with greater fuel
efficiency and smooth driveability without stress. Power delivery is moderate during
acceleration for maximum fuel efficiency.
•Sport:The Sport (S) mode provides the engine power desired by those who want to
make the driving experience their own personal adventure.

Driver Control Center Differential (DCCD) (WRX STI only)
This electronically controlled system adjusts
the power-distribution ratio between the front
and rear wheels. The system is designed to
provide optimum differential control for
improved vehicle cornering, stability, and
handling control to suit driving and road
surface conditions. The DCCD can be
operated automatically or manually.
When the system is in the automatic mode, the “AUTO” indicator
light in the combination meter comes on. The DCCD can be taken
out of “AUTO” mode and used manually by pressing the “AUTO
MANU” switch located on the center console. Pressing the “AUTO
MANU” switch again will return the system to “AUTO” mode.
When in “AUTO” mode you can use the “C.DIFF” switch to change
between AUTO [+], AUTO, and, AUTO [–]. To change to AUTO [+]
push the C.DIFF switch forward. To change to AUTO[–] push the C.DIFF switch rearward.
•AUTO [+]:This mode emphasizes traction control and strengthens the limitation of
differential action that is suitable for driving on slippery roads for vehicle stability.
•AUTO:This mode is suitable for most driving situations.
•AUTO [–]:This mode is suitable when you seek quick response from the steering wheel
and smooth driving.
To use manual mode press the “AUTO MANU” switch then push the
“C.DIFF” switch forward to increase the Limited Slip Differential
(LSD) torque or rearward to reduce the LSD torque
When using the system manually, if the control switch is set closer
to or at the “Lock” position, the powertrain may make a vibration or
noise when the vehicle is in tight turns at slow speeds (system
binding). In addition, if the rear differential oil exceeds a certain
temperature, the DCCD will automatically cancel the current torque-distribution ratio
setting and adopt its minimum ratio.

the brake pedal and push the parking brake
switch down. To automatically release, gently
press the accelerator pedal with the select
lever in the “D” or “R” position. NOTE: All the

be fastened.
Auto Vehicle Hold (AVH) —If Equipped (CVT Models Only)
This function automatically holds your Subaru
in place when at a complete stop, such as a
traffic signal, even after you release the brake
pedal. Press the “AVH” switch on the center
console to turn on the function each time you
start the vehicle. The indicator in the
combination meter will illuminate.
While your Subaru is being held by this
function, the operation indicator in the
combination meter will illuminate. The function
is canceled when you depress the accelerator
pedal or the brake pedal. Press the switch
again to turn it off. The function works with the
select lever in either the “D” or “R” position.
NOTE: You must have your seatbelt fastened
for this function to work.

FUEL
• For WRX, use premium unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 91 AKI or higher. If
91 AKI fuel is not readily available, regular unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of
87 AKI or higher may be temporarily used. However, depending on your driving habits
and conditions, you may notice a decrease in engine performance, fuel economy and
slight engine vibration or knocking. Consult the Owner’s Manual for more detailed
information.
• For WRX STI, use premium unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 93 AKI or higher.
If 93 AKI fuel is not readily available in your area, premium unleaded gasoline with an
octane rating of 91 AKI may be used with no detriment to engine durability or
driveability. However, you may notice a slight decrease in maximum engine performance
while using 91 AKI fuel. Consult the Owner’s Manual for more detailed information.
• Do not use fuels with more than 10% ethanol. See the Owner’s Manual for more
information.
