SI-DRIVE performance

management system

Not available

Subaru Intelligent Drive (SI-DRIVE) enables three distinctively different modes of vehicle perfor-

mance 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-speed manual transmission utilize a viscous-type locking center differential and limited-slip rear 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.

Active All-Wheel Drive

Models equipped with 4-speed automatic transmission utilize an electronically controlled variable transfer clutch and 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 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)

Standard 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.

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.
