Subaru Forester: SI-DRIVE / Intelligent (I) mode
For smooth, efficient performance driving

Type A

Type B
The linear acceleration characteristic of
the Intelligent (I) mode is ideal for normal
driving usage.
The Intelligent (I) mode provides wellbalanced
performance with greater fuel
efficiency and smooth driveability without
stress. Power delivery is moderate during
acceleration for maximum fuel efficiency.
This is ideal for around-town driving and
situations that do not require full power
output. It provides better control in difficult
driving conditions, such as slippery roads
or loose surfaces, due to gentler throttle
response.
For all-around performance driving
Type A
Type B
The Sport (S) mode provides the engine power desired by those who want to
make
the driving experience their own personal
adventure...
