Dual Range (If Equipped) - Subaru Impreza 2016 Manual

lower gear before the engine starts to
labor.
On steep downgrades, downshift the
transmission to 4th, 3rd or 2nd gear as
necessary; this helps to maintain a safe
speed and to extend brake pad life.
In this way, the engine provides a braking
effect. Remember, if you ride (over use)
the brakes while descending a hill, they
may overheat and not work properly.
The engine may, on rare occasions, knock
when the vehicle rapidly accelerates or
rapidly pulls away from a standstill. This
phenomenon does not indicate a malfunc-
tion.

Dual range (if equipped)

1) HI position:
For normal driving.
2) LO position:
Used for driving up a steep grade or
driving on sand requiring more driving
force than that available in the HI
position.
To change from HI to LO or vice versa,
release the accelerator pedal, depress the
clutch pedal fully to the floor, move the
select lever, and gradually let up on the
clutch pedal.
It is recommended that the LO position
should be used when starting the vehicle
on an uphill slope with a trailer attached.
Starting and operating/Dual range
CAUTION
If the select lever stops in the
"neutral" position between "HI"
and "LO", release the accelerator
pedal, depress the clutch pedal fully
and shift the select lever firmly.
