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...

The fuel gauge is displayed when the
ignition is in the “ON” position, and it shows
the approximate amount of fuel remaining
in the tank.
The gauge indication may change slightly
during braking, turning or acceleration due
to fuel level movement in the tank...
CAUTION
Do not operate the starter motor
continuously for more than 10 seconds.
If the engine fails to start after
operating the starter for 5 to 10
seconds, wait for 10 seconds or
more before trying again.
NOTE
It may be difficult to start the engine
when the battery has been disconnected
and reconnected (for maintenance
or other purposes)...
