SUBARU SYMMETRICAL ALL-WHEEL DRIVE

Continuous All-Wheel Drive

Models equipped with 5-speed manual transmission utilize a viscous-type locking center differential and limited-slip rear differential.

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.

Active All-Wheel Drive

Models equipped with 4-speed automatic transmission utilize an electronically controlled variable multiplate transfer clutch and viscous-
type limited-slip rear differential

to distribute power to where traction is needed. Sensors monitor parameters such as wheel slippage,

throttle position and braking to help determine torque distribution to the wheels with optimum traction.
