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

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.

Fuel Saving Display
Once the Auto Start-Stop System has stopped
the engine, the Fuel Saving Screen will display
in the Combination Meter Display (CMD),
showing how much time the engine was off in
the top line and the amount of fuel saved in
the bottom line. These are the total stop time
and fuel saved since the trip meter was reset.
No Activity Detected Indicator Light
If the operational conditions are not met when the vehicle is stopped, the
engine will not stop and the white Auto Start-Stop No Activity Detected
indicator light will illuminate. It will turn off when the brake pedal is released.
Auto Start-Stop Warning Light
The Auto Start-Stop warning light will illuminate in yellow when initially turning
the ignition switch to the “ON” position. The light will turn off after the engine
has started.
NOTE: If the Auto Start-Stop warning light does not turn off after the engine
has started or is flashing, the Auto Start-Stop system may be malfunctioning. We
recommend that you contact your authorized SUBARU Retailer for an inspection.
INDICATOR PATTERN CONDITION
Solid green This indicator light illuminates when the engine has been
temporarily stopped by the Auto Start-Stop system. It
will turn off when the engine is restarted.
Solid White Operational conditions have not been met, the engine
will not stop and this light will illuminate. The light goes
out once the brake pedal is released.
