Starting and operating/SIDRIVE (petrol engine models)
& Driving tips
. On a road surface where there is a risk
of wheelspin (for example, a snow- or
gravel-covered road), you can pull away
from a standstill (safely and easily) by first
selecting the 2nd gear of the manual
mode.
. Always apply the foot or parking brake
when the vehicle is stopped in the D or
R position.
. Always apply the parking brake when
parking your vehicle. Do not hold the
vehicle with only the transmission.
. Do not keep the vehicle in a stationary
position on an uphill grade by using the
D position. Use the brake instead.
. The engine may, on rare occasions,
knock when the vehicle rapidly acceler-
ates or rapidly pulls away from a standstill.
This phenomenon does not indicate a
malfunction.
. For 3.6 L models, a slight reduction in
output torque may occur before the engine
warms up.
SI-DRIVE (petrol engine
models)
SI-DRIVE (SUBARU Intel ligent Drive)
works to maximize engine performance,
control and efficiency.
This system consists of the f ollowing
modes:
. Intelligent (I) mode
. Sport (S) mode
. Sport Sharp (S#) mode (3.6 L models)
By operating the SI-DRIVE switches, the
character of the power unit changes.
& Intelligent (I) mode
! For smooth, efficient performance
driving
The linear acceleration characteristic of
this versatile mode is ideal for normal
driving use.
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.
This is ideal for around-town driving and
situations that do not require full power
output. It provides better control in difficult
driving conditions, such as slippery roads
or loose surfaces, due to gentler throttle
response.
