Selection Of "B - Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid 2022 Owner's Manual

314
Continuously variable transmission
Avoid coasting with the transmission in
neutral. Engine braking and regenerative
braking have no effect in this condition.
WARNING
Do not drive the vehicle with the
select lever in the "N" (neutral)
position. Engine braking and regen-
erative braking have no effect in this
condition and the risk of an accident
is consequently increased.
CAUTION
If the shift position is in "N", the high
voltage battery will not be charged.
To prevent the battery from dischar-
ging, avoid leaving the "N" position
selected for an extended period of
time.
! D (Drive)
This position is for normal driving. The
transmission shifts automatically and con-
tinuously into a suitable gear according to
the vehicle speed and the acceleration you
require. Also, while driving up and down a
hill, the transmission assists and controls
the driving performance and engine brak-
ing while corresponding to the road grade.
When more acceleration is required in "D"
position, depress the accelerator pedal
fully to the floor and hold that position. The
transmission will automatically downshift.
! B (Brake)
Applying engine braking or strong braking
when the accelerator pedal has been
released on steep downward slopes etc.
The vehicle can be accelerated even when
shift position "B" is selected. If the vehicle
is driven continuously in the "B" position,
fuel efficiency will become low. Usually,
select the "D" position.
& Selection of "B"
While pressing the select lever button,
move the select lever from the "D" position
to the "B" position.
When selected, the indicator "B" will
illuminate on the combination meter.
