AT Shift Mode

Ultimate Control The automatic transmission gives you ultimate control with five forward speeds, one reverse speed, and a manual mode. Switch to the optional AT Shift mode when you need that extra boost for uphill driving.

Normal Mode When the selector lever is in the “D” (Drive) position, the transmission is in normal shift mode. The shift position indicator in the meter cluster shows “D” and the transmission automatically shifts into a suitable gear from 1st to 5th.

Sport Mode Moving the selector lever left into the manual gate from “D” changes the transmission into Sport mode. The shift position indicator shows “D” and the “SPORT” light illuminates in the meter cluster. In the Sport mode, the transmission automatically shifts from 1st to 5th, but shifts up at higher engine revolutions than in normal mode.

Manual Mode Moving the selector lever into “+” or “-” makes the transmission change into Manual mode. When the selector lever is moved to “+,” the transmission shifts into the next higher gear. When the selector lever is moved to “-,” the transmission shifts into the next lower gear. The shift position indicator in the instrument cluster shows the selected gear position. In Manual mode, you can select your desired gear position to obtain necessary acceleration and engine braking. Moving the selector lever into “+” when the vehicle stops enables the vehicle to start in 2nd gear.

Location of Spare Tire and Jack Your vehicle is equipped with a temporary spare tire, located under the rear of the vehicle. The jack and necessary tools to release the spare from the vehicle are located in the storage tray, under the cargo floorboard. To remove the spare tire, remove the cargo floorboard and remove the access hole plugs located on the body, then insert the tool through the access hole and turn it counterclockwise with the wheel nut wrench. Store the flat tire in the spare tire carrier.

Towing Your All-Wheel Drive Vehicle Because all-wheel drive distributes engine power to all four wheels, improper towing will severely damage your AWD system. A flatbed truck is the only way to properly transport your AWD vehicle. If towing is necessary, it is best done by your Subaru dealer or a commercial towing service.
