Intelligent (I) mode
Subaru Forester / Subaru Forester 2012-2024 Owners Manual / Starting and operating / SI-DRIVE (if equipped) / Intelligent (I) mode
For smooth, efficient performance driving
The linear acceleration characteristic of the Intelligent (I) mode is ideal for normal driving usage.
The Intelligent (I) mode provides wellbalanced performance with greater fuel efficiency and smooth driveability without stress. Power delivery is moderate during acceleration for maximum fuel efficiency.
This is ideal for around-town driving and situations that do not require full power output. It provides better control in difficult driving conditions, such as slippery roads or loose surfaces, due to gentler throttle response.
