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.

4

 

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

4

 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.
