How to use Dual Function X-MODE in select Subaru models

Select Subaru models feature dual function X-MODE, a feature designed to help you out of demanding situations.

On the highways and back roads, basic traction control on most vehicles will help to minimize wheelspin and keep you on course by limiting throttle inputs. It’s a vital feature in day-to-day traffic, especially in wet, icy conditions.
