Hill Descent Control (HDC)
The Hill Descent Control function helps maintain a consistent
vehicle speed when driving down steep hills or declines. HDC is
automatically activated and set in standby mode when X-MODE
®is
activated. The Hill Descent Control Indicator appears when in
standby mode, and the indicator will flash when HDC is operating.
TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE
Without Push-button Ignition
To stop the engine:
1. Stop your Subaru completely.
2. Move the select lever to the “P” position or set the parking brake for manual
transmission vehicles.
3. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK/OFF. For manual transmission vehicles, it is
recommended to leave the vehicle in gear (1st gear for an upgrade and reverse for a
downgrade).
NOTE: Windows equipped with a one-touch auto up/down function will remain active for
about 40 seconds or until a front door is opened, whichever occurs first

VOICE RECOGNITION
With SUBARU STARLINK®, simple voice commands can control
features like navigation, entertainment, phone calls, and, on select
models, climate control. A microphone is located in the overhead
console; however, you do not need to speak directly into it to
activate the voice command features. Press the Voice Recognition
button on the steering wheel to start the voice recognition system.
Press and hold the button to cancel the system.
For help with what features are available with voice recognition,
press the "Help" button on the screen or press the voice recognition
button and say "Help".
Tips
The system may not recognize the voice command due to various
types of interference. Some causes for voice command interference
are:
• The command is spoken too quickly or at a low or high volume.
• The command is incorrect or unclear.
• The window is open, the climate control system is set on high, or
the ventilation is directed toward the microphone.
• Passengers are talking while the command is spoken.
NOTE: The system is designed to recognize a variety of commands, but certain words,
accents or speech patterns may be difficult for the system to recognize.
