WARNING
Always use the utmost care when
driving. Being overconfident be-
cause you are driving a vehicle with
a driver's control center differential
could easily lead to a serious acci-

tion. We recommend that you
have the vehicle inspected by
your SUBARU dealer.
. If a malfunction occurs in the
vehicle (for example, when the
rear differential oil temperature
warning light illuminates), all of
the indicators may disappear and
the setting value for the initial
limited slip differential (LSD) tor-
que of the driver's control center
differential (DCCD) may be can-
celed. However, it does not in-
dicate a malfunction of the DCCD
itself.
The driver s control center differential
allows you to freely change the degree
of limitation of the differential action
(limited slip differential (LSD) torque) of
your vehicle s center differential.
By using the center differential control
switch, you can set an initial LSD torque to
match the road surface conditions, driving
conditions and your driving style.
1) LSD torque
2) Traction torque
3) Initial LSD torque (maximum)
4) Initial LSD torque (minimum)
A) Initial LSD torque (adjustable)
B) Mechanical LSD torque
The driver s control center differential has
an auto mode and a manual mode. In the
auto mode, the system automatically
adjusts the initial LSD torque. In the
manual mode, you can change to the
desired mode manually by using the
center differential control switch.
NOTE

accelerator pedal while driving at low
speed, you may hear a knocking sound
