(916) SI-DRIVE (SUBARU INTELLIGENT DRIVE) SI-DRIVE (Subaru Intelligent Drive) will be standard on all Legacy and Outback turbo models. SI- Drive enables three distinctively different modes of engine power characteristics by regulating the engine control unit (ECM) as well as the transmission control unit (TCU) on automatic transmission models, and by fine-tuning the electronically controlled throttle Torque command control with 3 settings (rotary switch is located in the center console).
In addition to trip computer functions, the current SI-DRIVE mode is exhibited along with an active torque curve display. When this light is illuminated sports sharp mode is not available. This is due to low coolant temperature. * Refer to STIS (Subaru Technical Infromation System) *** New Feature July 2006 2007 Legacy Page 62...
