Si-Drive Selector (Sti); Si-Drive Switches (Except Sti) - Subaru WRX-STI Owner's Manual

& SI-DRIVE selector (STI)
When you rotate the SI-DRIVE selector to
the left, the current SI-DRIVE mode
changes to Sport (S) mode. When you
rotate it to the right, the mode changes to
Sport Sharp (S#) mode, and when you
push it, the mode changes to Intelligent (I)
mode. After performing this operation, the
switch returns to its original location.
NOTE
. The next time you turn on the
engine, after you turned off the engine
in the Sport Sharp (S#) mode, the SI-
DRIVE mode changes to the Sport (S)
mode.
. The next time you turn on the
engine, after you turned off the engine
in the Sport (S) mode or Intelligent (I)
mode, the SI-DRIVE mode will stay in
the same mode as when the engine
was turned off.
. While the engine is running, if the
malfunction indicator light (CHECK
ENGINE light) illuminates, the SI-DRIVE
mode changes to the Sport (S) mode. In
this case, it is not possible to change to
the Sport Sharp (S#) mode or Intelligent
(I) mode.
. If there is a possibility that the
engine could overheat because of a
temperature increase of the engine
coolant, it is not possible to change to
the Sport Sharp (S#) mode. While the
vehicle is in the Sport Sharp (S#) mode,
it changes to the Sport (S) mode when
the engine coolant temperature in-
creases.
. If any of the SI-DRIVE indicators
blink, the SI-DRIVE system may be
malfunctioning. We recommend that
you contact your SUBARU dealer.
