Multi-Mode Vehicle Dynamics Control Switch
(Impreza WRX STI only)
Traction Mode
Press the switch to enter traction mode. This mode restricts the functions of the Traction
Control System and Vehicle Dynamics Control system and thus delays utilizing their functions
as a reaction to vehicle behavior. This mode should be used in driving situations where the
vehicle dynamic performance will improve without decreasing engine torque control. The
indicator light in the gauge cluster will turn green.
Vehicle Dynamics Control OFF Mode
Press and hold the switch to enter Vehicle Dynamics Control Off mode. This mode should be
used in emergency situations, such as getting out of mud or deep snow. The indicator light in
the gauge cluster will turn yellow.
Fuel Filler Lid Release
To open the fuel filler lid, pull the fuel filler lever up and release.

REV Alarm System

be set manually to an engine speed of your choosing
between 2,000 and 7,000 rpm using the trip knob.
The trip knob is also used to select a warning alarm
buzzer in addition to the light. The REV alarm set
level can be viewed in the odometer/tripmeter by

warning buzzer.
