DRIVING THE VEHICLE
6-Speed Manual Transmission
The manual transmission is a fully synchronised 6-forward and 1-reverse speed
transmission. To shift into reverse gear, raise and hold the slider ring, shift to the “R”
position, and release the slider ring. Only pull the slider ring up when shifting into reverse
gear.
Automatic Transmission Shift Mode
The Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT)
is electronically controlled and provides two
different driving modes: normal and manual or
normal and low.
Normal Mode
When the select lever is in the “D” (Drive)
position, the transmission is in normal shift
mode. The select lever position indicator in the
Combination Meter Display (CMD) shows “D”
and the transmission automatically shifts into a
suitable forward gear.
Manual Mode(if equipped)
In manual mode, you select the desired gear
position to obtain necessary acceleration and
engine braking. Move the select lever left from
the “D” position into the “M” position to select manual mode. The gear position indicator in
the Combination Meter Display (CMD) shows the currently selected gear. Arrow-shaped
indicators show when upshifting or downshifting is available. To shift, use the paddle shift
control switches behind the steering wheel.
Low Mode(if equipped)
Low Mode is for using engine braking when going down hill, etc. Moving the select lever
left into the “L” position from the “D” (Drive) position causes the transmission to change
into Low Mode. The shift position indicator shows “L” as the selected gear.

Paddle Shift Control Switches(if equipped)
You can shift gears using the
paddle shift 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.
You can temporarily shift gears
even when the select lever is in
the “D” position by pulling either
the “+” or “–” paddle toward you.
Once vehicle speed stabilizes, the
transmission will switch back to
normal mode.
SI-DRIVE(if equipped)
Subaru Intelligent Drive (SI-Drive) has
2 modes: Intelligent (I) and Sport (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.

AUTO START–STOP(if equipped)
The Auto Start-Stop system is designed to automatically stop and restart the engine when
the vehicle is stationary for a short period of time after the engine has warmed up (while
waiting for a traffic light or in a traffic jam, for example). The system operates in order to
reduce fuel consumption, exhaust emissions, and undesired idling noise.
Auto Start-Stop System
ON/OFF
If the Auto Start-Stop OFF switch
is pressed, operation of the Auto
Start-Stop system will be
disabled.
NOTE: The system will default to
ON once the vehicle has been
shut off.
The Auto Start-Stop indicator light on the combination meter illuminates in
yellow when the system is disabled. If the switch is pressed once more, the
Auto Start-Stop system will reactivate, and the Auto Start-Stop indicator light
will turn off.
System Operation
So that it can be used safely and comfortably, the Auto Start-Stop system is designed to
constantly monitor vehicle conditions, the environment inside and outside the vehicle, as
well as driver operations, in order to control stopping and restarting the engine.
After the vehicle has been completely stopped by depressing the brake pedal
with the select lever in the “D” position, the engine will be automatically
stopped and the green indicator will illuminate in the combination meter.
If you release the brake pedal with the select lever kept in the “D” position, the
engine will be automatically restarted. The indicator light will turn off when the system
restarts the engine.
There are several operating conditions for this system to operate as intended.
For more information, please refer to the Owner’s Manual.
