SI-DRIVE (turbo and 3.0 L
models)
SI-DRIVE (Subaru Intelligent Drive) works
to maximize engine performance, control
and efficiency.
This system consists of three modes:
Intelligent (I), Sport (S), and Sport Sharp
(S#). By adjusting the SI-DRIVE selector,
the character of the power unit changes.
The multi-information display located in
the tachometer provides the driver with
the ability to monitor both vehicle perfor-
mance and the current SI-DRIVE mode.
To change the multi-information display,
refer to the
“Multi-information display
(vehicle with SI-DRIVE) ” in chapter 3.
& Intelligent (I) mode
For smooth, efficient performance driv-
ing
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.
When Intelligent (I) mode is selected in
vehicles equipped with a manual trans-
mission, a shift-up indicator
“ ” in the
tachometer will blink to signal the best
time to shift gears for maximum fuel
efficiency.
