Hydraulic Functional Failure

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 15 other vehicles, including the 2014 Subaru Tribeca, 2014 Subaru Outback, 2014 Subaru Legacy, 2013 Subaru Tribeca, and 2013 Subaru Outback. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

When a hydraulic functional failure is detected, the gear is shifted depending on the relation of faulty part and gear position at failure detection in order to ensure minimum drivability. The table below shows the relation of faulty parts and fixed gear range.

  Gear position at failure detection
1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th
Faulty part Front brake 1 N → 1 N→ 1 N→ 1 N→ 1
Input clutch 4 4 4 N → 1 N→ 1
High&low reverse clutch 1 N → 1 N→ 1 N→ 1 N→ 1
Direct clutch 2 N → 1 N→ 1 N→ 1 N→ 4
Forward brake 4 3 N → 2 N→ 2 N→ 2
NOTE: "→" indicates the gear range after vehicle stop.
