SI-DRIVE performance
management system Not available
Subaru Intelligent Drive (SI-DRIVE) enables three distinctively different modes of vehicle
performance characteristics by regulating the engine control unit (ECU), the automatic
transmission control unit (if equipped), and by fine-tuning the electronically controlled throttle.

SYMMETRICAL ALL-WHEEL DRIVE
Continuous All-Wheel Drive
Models equipped with 5- or 6-speed manual transmissions utilize a viscous-type locking center differential with torque distribution normally configured
at a 50/50-split front-to-rear. If wheel speed differs between front and rear axles, the system helps distribute power to the wheels with the most traction.
2.5GT Limited and 3.0R models equipped with a viscous-type limited-slip rear differential. 2.5GT spec.B equipped with a Torsen® limited-slip rear differential.
Active All-Wheel Drive
Models equipped with 4-speed automatic transmission utilize an electronically controlled variable transfer clutch to distribute power to where
traction is needed. Sensors monitor parameters such as wheel slippage, throttle position and braking, to help determine torque distribution and
direct it to the wheels with optimum traction.
Variable Torque Distribution (VTD)
All-Wheel Drive
Models equipped with 5-speed automatic transmission utilize an electronically controlled variable transfer clutch in conjunction with a planetary-
type center differential and a viscous-type limited-slip rear differential. Torque distribution is normally configured at a performance-oriented rear-
wheel-biased 45/55-split front-to-rear. Sensors monitor parameters such as wheel slippage, throttle position and braking to help determine torque
distribution and direct it to the wheels with optimum traction.
STABILITY AND TRACTION
Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC)
VDC electronic stability control utilizes sensors which constantly 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. 2.5i,2.5i Special Edition, 2.5i Limited,2.5GT Limited with automatic
transmission, 3.0R and 3.0R Limited: Standard. 2.5GT Limited with manual transmission: Not available.
Traction Control System (TCS) VDC also incorporates an all-wheel, all-speed traction control system which senses a loss of traction and applies braking force to the slipping
wheel or wheels as necessary to maintain vehicle motion.

12009 Subaru Legacy non-turbo 2.5-liter models achieving a Partial Zero Emission Vehicle (PZEV) rating by the California Air Resources Board are available in all 50 states. Only those distributed in California, Connecticut,
Maine, Massachusetts, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington are eligible for the 15 years/150,000 mile emissions warranty. (PA adopted CA LEV for 2008, but does not have PZEV warranty coverage.)
California PZEV certified vehicles are considered the cleanest gasoline powered vehicles because they meet California’s strongest tailpipe emissions standard for Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicles (SULEV). (Subaru offers other
2009 model emissions warranties for high-cost parts in only those states adopting the CA LEV Program.) 22009 EPA fuel economy estimates. Actual mileage may vary. 3Regular unleaded gasoline with an octane rating
of 87 AKI or greater may be used. Using regular unleaded gasoline could result in reduced engine performance. See Owner’s Manual for more detailed information. 4With Off-Black leather upholstery. See color
combinations chart. 5With Warm Ivory leather upholstery. See color combinations chart. 6Optional navigation system replaces in-dash storage compartment. 7Available as an accessory. See your dealer. Satellite
radio hardware and required monthly subscription sold separately. 8Available only with optional automatic transmission. 9The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) affords the driver and the front passenger
additional protection in moderate to severe frontal and side-impact collisions and outboard 2nd-row passengers additional protection in moderate to severe side-impact collisions. This system provides supplemental
protection only, and seatbelts must be worn in order to avoid injuries to out-of-position occupants upon airbag deployment and to provide the best combined protection in a serious accident. Children should always
be properly restrained in one of the rear seats. See Owner’s Manual for recommended seating position.
