Si-Drive Control

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.

By changing the SI-DRIVE mode switch while driving in D range, shift control can be switched among three types according to each engine characteristics.

I mode
When I mode engine characteristics is employed, shifting is performed at the optimum point to realize low fuel consumption. Compared to S and S# mode, slip lock-up range and full lock-up range are expanded.
S mode
When S mode engine characteristics is employed, shifting characteristics is applied so that linear acceleration can be obtained and the acceleration is even in any vehicle speed range.
S# mode

When S# mode engine characteristics is employed, shift timing is intended for higher speed than that of S mode and is set so that full engine performance can be obtained to provide driving with great response. In addition, adaptive control is operated more actively compared to I mode or S mode to realize sportier driving performance.
