Other information:
It is not necessary to check the gear oil
level. Check that there are no cracks,
damage or leakage. However, the oil
inspection should be performed according
to the maintenance schedule in the “Warranty
and Maintenance Booklet”. Consult
your SUBARU dealer for details...
The continuously variable transmission is
electronically controlled and provides an
infinite number of forward speeds and 1
reverse speed. It also has a manual mode
or an “L” position.
NOTE
When the engine coolant temperature
is still low, the transmission will
shift at higher engine speeds than
when the coolant temperature is sufficiently
high in order to shorten the
warm-up time and improve driveability...
