Traction and Stability
All-Wheel Drive type Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive
X-MoDE ™ X-MODE optimizes engine output and transmission ratio position,
™
increases all-wheel drive system engagement and uses enhanced control
of the VDC system to reduce individual wheelspin, providing optimal
traction at low speeds on low friction surfaces.

2.5i Limited, 2.5i Touring, 2.0XT Premium and 2.0XT Touring: Standard.
Vehicle Dynamics Standard VDC electronic stability control utilizes sensors which constantly
Control (VDC) 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.
Traction Control System VDC also incorporates an all-wheel, all-speed traction control system which
(TCS) senses a loss of traction and applies braking force to the slipping wheel or
wheels as necessary to maintain vehicle motion.
