238position using the shift paddles. For
details about the manual mode, refer to
"Selection of Manual Mode" P239.
Once the vehicle speed stabilizes, the
transmission will switch from the manual
mode back to the “D” position for normal
driving.
▽ While climbing a grade
When driving up a hill, undesired upshift is
prevented from taking place when the
accelerator is released. This minimizes
the chance of subsequent downshifting to
a lower gear when accelerating again.
This prevents repeated upshifting and
downshifting resulting in a smoother oper-
ation of the vehicle.NOTEThe transmission may downshift,
depending on the way the accelerator
pedal is depressed to accelerate the
vehicle again.■
Adaptive Control
In order to realize smoother driving while
driving in “D” position, an appropriate gear
is automatically selected by limiting
upshifting and performing downshifting
operations according to driver operations
and driving conditions. 
When driving uphill, prevents unneces-
sary upshifting and downshifting.
 When driving downhill, downshifting is
performed at engine speeds higher than
usual.
 When driving on curves, prevents
upshifting even when accelerating.
 When the brake pedal is depressed
firmly, downshifting is automatically
performed, fully utilizing engine braking.
 When the accelerator pedal is
suddenly released, prevents upshifting.
NOTEAdaptive control operates automati-
cally when the select lever is in the “D”
position. The function is canceled
when the paddle shift levers are oper-
ated or the select lever is shifted to the
“M” position.■
Shift Lock Function
The shift lock function helps prevent the
improper operation of the select lever.
 The select lever cannot be operated
unless the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position and the brake pedal is
depressed.
 The select lever cannot be moved from
the “P” position to any other position
before the brake pedal is depressed. Depress the brake pedal first, and then
operate the select lever.

Only the “P” position allows you to turn
the push-button ignition switch to the
“OFF” position.

Shift lock release
If the select lever cannot be operated, turn
the ignition switch back to the “ON” posi-
tion then move the select lever to the “P”
position with the brake pedal depressed.
If the select lever does not move after
performing the above procedure, refer to
"Shift lock release using the shift lock
release portion" P239.

ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System)
245
Starting and Operating7
– CONTINUED –
Brake assist is a driver assistance system.
It assists the brake power when the driver
cannot depress the brake pedal strongly
and the brake power is insufficient.
Brake assist generates the brake power
according to the speed at which the driver
depresses the brake pedal.NOTEWhen you depress the brake pedal
strongly or suddenly, the following
phenomena occur. However, even
though these occur, they do not indi-
cate any malfunctions, and the brake
assist system is operating properly.
You might feel that the brake pedal
is applied by lighter force and gener-
ates a greater braking force.
 You might hear the sound of ABS
operating from the engine compart-
ment.

Disc Brake Pad Wear
Warning Indicators
The disc brake pad wear warning indica-
tors on the disc brakes give a warning
noise when the brake pads are worn.
If a squeaking or scraping noise is heard
from the disc brakes while braking, imme-
diately have your vehicle inspected by the
nearest SUBARU dealer.
7-11. ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System)
CAUTION
When you need to brake suddenly,
continue depressing the brake
pedal strongly to bring the effect of
the brake assist.

WARNING
Always use the utmost care in driv-
ing – overconfidence because you
are driving with an ABS equipped
vehicle could easily lead to a seri-
ous accident.
CAUTION
 The ABS does not always
decrease stopping distance. You
should always maintain a safe
following distance from other
vehicles.When driving on badly surfaced
roads, gravel roads, icy road, or
over newly fallen snow, stopping
distances may be longer for a
vehicle with the ABS than one
without. When driving under
these conditions, therefore,
reduce your speed and leave
ample distance from other vehi-
cles.

Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD) System
246The ABS prevents the lock-up of wheels
which may occur during sudden braking or
braking on slippery road surfaces. This
helps prevent the loss of steering control
and directional stability caused by wheel
lock-up.
When the ABS is operating, you may hear
a chattering noise or feel a slight vibration
in the brake pedal. This is normal when
the ABS operates.■
ABS Self-Check
You may feel a slight shock in the brake
pedal and hear the operating noise of the
ABS from the engine compartment just
after the vehicle is started. This is caused
by an automatic functional test of the ABS
being carried out and does not indicate
any abnormal condition.■
ABS Warning Light
Refer to "ABS Warning Light" P140.
7-12. Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD) SystemThe EBD system maximizes the effective-
ness of the brakes by allowing the rear
brakes to supply a greater proportion of
the braking force. It functions by adjusting
the distribution of braking force to the rear
wheels in accordance with the vehicle’s
loading condition and speed.
The EBD system is an integral part of the
ABS and uses some of the ABS compo-
nents to perform its function of optimizing
the distribution of braking force. If any of
the ABS components used by the EBD
function fails, the EBD system also stops
working.
When the EBD system is operating, you
may hear a chattering noise or feel a slight
vibration in the brake pedal. This is normal
and does not indicate a malfunction.
■
EBD System Malfunctions
If a malfunction occurs in the EBD system,
the system stops working and the
following warning lights illuminate simulta-
neously.
 Brake system warning light
 ABS warning light
 Vehicle Stability Control (VSC)
warning light
If the both warning light remains on even
though the parking brake is released, the
brake fluid level may be low or there could
be a problem with the EBD system. Park
the vehicle in a safe place immediately
and contact an SUBARU dealer.
 When you feel the ABS operating,
you should maintain constant
brake pedal pressure. Do not
pump the brake pedal since doing
so may defeat the operation of the
ABS.

8-8. Winter Driving■
Operation during Cold
Weather
Carry some emergency equipment, such
as a window scraper, a bag of sand,
flares, a small shovel and jumper cables.
Check the battery and cables. Cold
temperatures reduce battery capacity.
The battery must be in good condition to
provide enough power for cold winter
starts.
It normally takes longer to start the engine
in very cold weather conditions. Use an
engine oil of a proper grade and viscosity
for cold weather. Using heavy summer oil
will make it harder to start the engine.
Keep the door locks from freezing by
squirting them with deicer or glycerin.
Forcing a frozen door open may damage
or separate the rubber weather strips
around the door. If the door is frozen, use
hot water to melt the ice, and afterwards
thoroughly wipe the water away.
Use a windshield washer fluid that
contains an antifr eeze solution. Do not
use engine antifreeze or other substitutes
because they may damage the paint of
the vehicle.
If you fill the windshield washer tank with
a fluid with a different concentration from
If all four tires are not the same in

It also may be dangerous and
lead to loss of vehicle control,
and it can lead to an accident.
 In a rollover crash, an unbelted
person is significantly more likely
to die than a person wearing a
seat belt. The driver and all your
passengers should fasten their
seatbelts before st arting to drive
in order to minimize the chance of
serious injury or death. Do not make sharp turns or quick
maneuvers unless absolutely
unavoidable. Such actions are
dangerous as you may lose
control, possibly resulting in a
rollover which could cause death
or serious injury.
Whenever strong crosswinds are
present, slow do wn sufficiently to
maintain control of your vehicle. Never to drive through pools and
puddles, or roads flooded with
water. Water entering the engine
air intake or the exhaust pipe or
water splashing onto electrical
parts may damage your vehicle
and may cause it to stall. In this
case, contact your SUBARU
dealer immediat ely. Regardless
of its depth, it can wash away the
ground from under your tires,
resulting in possible loss of trac-
tion and even vehicle rollover.
CAUTION
After driving on gravel roads or
rough roads, check the undercar-
riage of the vehicle body for any
damage, deformation, or paint
removal. If you notice any irregulari-
ties, contact a SUBARU dealer for
an inspection as soon as possible.
