SI-DRIVE performance
management system

Subaru Intelligent Drive (SI-DRIVE) enables three distinctively different modes of vehicle
performance characteristics by regulating the engine control unit (ECU), the automatic
transmission control unit (if equipped), and by fine-tuning the electronically controlled throttle.

SYMMETRICAL ALL-WHEEL DRIVE
Continuous All-Wheel Drive
Models equipped with 5- or 6-speed manual transmissions utilize a viscous-type locking center differential with torque distribution normally configured
at a 50/50-split front-to-rear. If wheel speed differs between front and rear axles, the system helps distribute power to the wheels with the most traction.
2.5GT Limited and 3.0R models equipped with a viscous-type limited-slip rear differential. 2.5GT spec.B equipped with a Torsen® limited-slip rear differential.
Active All-Wheel Drive
Models equipped with 4-speed automatic transmission utilize an electronically controlled variable transfer clutch to distribute power to where
traction is needed. Sensors monitor parameters such as wheel slippage, throttle position and braking, to help determine torque distribution and
direct it to the wheels with optimum traction.
Variable Torque Distribution (VTD)
All-Wheel Drive
Models equipped with 5-speed automatic transmission utilize an electronically controlled variable transfer clutch in conjunction with a planetary-
type center differential and a viscous-type limited-slip rear differential. Torque distribution is normally configured at a performance-oriented rear-
wheel-biased 45/55-split front-to-rear. Sensors monitor parameters such as wheel slippage, throttle position and braking to help determine torque
distribution and direct it to the wheels with optimum traction.
STABILITY AND TRACTION
Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC)
VDC electronic stability control utilizes sensors which constantly monitor wheel speeds, steering angle, brake pressure, vehicle yaw rate
and lateral g-forces. If VDC detects a difference between the driver’s intended path and the one the vehicle is actually taking, VDC applies
braking power and/or reduces engine torque to help correct vehicle path. 2.5i, 2.5i Special Edition, 2.5i Limited, 2.5GT Limited with automatic
transmission, 3.0R and 3.0R Limited: Standard. 2.5GT Limited with manual transmission: Not available.
Traction Control System (TCS)
VDC also incorporates an all-wheel, all-speed traction control system which senses a loss of traction and applies braking force to the slipping
wheel or wheels as necessary to maintain vehicle motion.
