Models equipped with 5- or 6-speed manual transmissions utilize a viscous-type locking center 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.

2.5GT Limited and 3.0R models equipped with a viscous-type limited-slip rear differential. 2.5GT spec.B equipped with a Torsen® limited-slip rear differential.

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

Models equipped with 5-speed automatic transmission utilize an electronically controlled variable transfer clutch in conjunction with a planetarytype center differential and a viscous-type limited-slip rear differential. Torque distribution is normally configured at a performance-oriented rearwheel-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.

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. 2.5i, 2.5i Special Edition, 2.5i Limited, 2.5GT Limited with automatic transmission, 3.0R and 3.0R Limited: Standard. 2.5GT Limited with manual transmission: Not available.

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.

Engine-speed-sensing variable power-assisted rack-and-pinion.

2.5i models and 3.0R: 3.2 turns lock-to-lock. 2.5GT Limited: 2.8 turns lock-to-lock. 2.5GT spec.B and 3.0R Limited: 2.6 turns lock-to-lock.

1 2009 Subaru Legacy non-turbo 2.5-liter models achieving a Partial Zero Emission Vehicle (PZEV) rating by the California Air Resources Board are available in all 50 states. Only those distributed in California, Connecticut,

Maine, Massachusetts, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington are eligible for the 15 years/150,000 mile emissions warranty. (PA adopted CA LEV for 2008, but does not have PZEV warranty coverage.) California PZEV certified vehicles are considered the cleanest gasoline powered vehicles because they meet California’s strongest tailpipe emissions standard for Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicles (SULEV). (Subaru offers other 2009 model emissions warranties for high-cost parts in only those states adopting the CA LEV Program.) 2 2009 EPA fuel economy estimates. Actual mileage may vary. 3 Regular unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 AKI or greater may be used. Using regular unleaded gasoline could result in reduced engine per formance. See Owner’s Manual for more detailed information. 4 With Off-Black leather upholstery. See color combinations chart. 5 With Warm Ivory leather upholstery. See color combinations chart. 6 Optional navigation system replaces in-dash storage compartment. 7 Available as an accessory. See your dealer. Satellite radio hardware and required monthly subscription sold separately. 8 Available only with optional automatic transmission. 9 The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) affords the driver and the front passenger additional protection in moderate to severe frontal and side-impact collisions and outboard 2nd-row passengers additional protection in moderate to severe side-impact collisions. This system provides supplemental protection only, and seatbelts must be worn in order to avoid injuries to out-of-position occupants upon airbag deployment and to provide the best combined protection in a serious accident. Children should always be properly restrained in one of the rear seats. See Owner’s Manual for recommended seating position.
