SYMMETRICAL ALL-WHEEL DRIVE
	outback	2.5i and 2.5i ll bean	2.5i Ltd and 2.5i Ltd ll bean	2.5 xt Ltd	3.0 ll bean

Continuous All-Wheel Drive	Models equipped with 5-speed manual transmission utilize a viscous-type locking center differential and limited-slip rear differential3 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.
Active All-Wheel Drive	Models equipped with 4-speed automatic transmission utilize an electronically controlled variable transfer clutch and limited-slip rear differential3 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.
Variable Torque Distribution (VTD) All-Wheel Drive	Models equipped with 5-speed automatic transmission utilize an electronically controlled variable transfer clutch in conjunction with a planetary-type center differential, and a viscous-type limited-slip rear differential. Torque distribution is normally configured at a performanceoriented rear-wheel-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.

stability and traction
	outback	2.5i and 2.5i ll bean	2.5i Ltd and 2.5i Ltd ll bean	2.5 xt Ltd	3.0 ll bean

Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC)	VDC electronic stability control utilizes sensors which constantly monitor wheel speed, 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. Outback and 2.5i: Not available. 2.5i L.L.Bean Edition, 2.5i Limited and 2.5i Limited L.L.Bean Edition: Optional. 2.5XT Ltd and 3.0R L.L.Bean Edition: Standard.
Traction Control System (TCS)	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.
