.
Always use the utmost care in
driving
–
overconfidence be-
cause you are driving a vehicle
with hill descent control function
could easily lead to a serious
accident. Be especially careful,
and depress the brake pedal if
necessary when driving on ex-
tremely steep downhill, frozen,
muddy or sandy roads. Failure
to control the vehicle
’
s speed
may cause a loss of control and
result in a serious accident.
CAUTION
.
Even if your vehicle is equipped
with X-mode, winter tires or snow
chains should be used when
driving on snow-covered or icy
roads; in addition, vehicle speed
should be reduced considerably.
Simply having X-mode does not
guarantee that the vehicle will be
able to avoid accidents in any
situation.
.
Activate the X-mode when you
encounter a very slippery surface
at low speed. However, having X-
mode is no guarantee that full
vehicle control will be maintained
at all times and under all condi-
tions. Even when activating X-
mode, reduce the vehicle speed
considerably.
.
Whenever suspension compo-
nents, steering components, or
an axle are removed from a
vehicle, we recommend that you
have the system inspected by an
authorized SUBARU dealer.
.
The following precautions should
be observed in order to ensure
that the X-mode is operating
properly:
–
All four wheels should be
fitted with tires of the same
size, type, and brand. Further-
more, the amount of wear
should be the same for all
four tires.
–
Keep the tire pressure at the
proper level as shown on the
label attached to the vehicle
’
s
door pillar.
–
Use only the special tempor-
ary spare tire to replace a flat
tire. With a normal temporary
spare tire, the effectiveness of
the X-mode is reduced and
this should be taken into ac-
count when driving the vehi-
cle in such a condition.
.
If the hill descent control function
has operated continuously for a
long time, the temperature of the
brake disc may increase and the
hill descent control function may
be temporarily disabled. In this
case, the hill descent control
indicator will disappear. When
the hill descent control indicator
disappears, the hill descent con-
trol function is disabled.
X-mode is the integrated control system of
the engine, AWD and Vehicle Dynamics
Control system, etc. for driving with bad
road conditions. Using X-mode, you can
drive more comfortably even in slippery
road conditions including uphill and down-
hill.
X-mode has the following functions.
