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...
Other information:
Use windshield washer fluid. If windshield
washer fluid is unavailable, use clean
water.
In areas where water freezes in winter, use
an anti-freeze type windshield washer
fluid.
If you fill the reservoir tank with a fluid with
a different concentration from the one
used previously, purge the old fluid from
the piping between the reservoir tank and
washer nozzles by operating the washer
for a certain period of time...
CAUTION
Remove the head restraint when
mounting a child restraint system.
Otherwise, the top tether
cannot be fastened tightly.
Store the head restraint that has
been removed in the cargo area.
Avoid placing the head restraint
in the passenger compartment,
as it could be thrown around in
the passenger compartment in a
sudden stop or a sharp turn...
