2022 SUBARU IMPREZA manual

DRIVING THE VEHICLE
5-Speed Manual Transmission
The manual transmission is a fully synchronised 5-forward and 1-reverse speed
transmission. To shift into reverse gear from 5th gear, you must first return the shift lever
into the neutral position, then shift into reverse gear.
Automatic Transmission Shift Mode
The Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT)
is electronically controlled and provides two
different driving mode combinations: 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.
Low Mode(if equipped)
Low Mode is for using engine braking when
going downhill, 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.
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.
