Hi all
Just bought one of these in Gibraltar and the manuals for the Sat Nav and Car are in Spanish. Anyone know where I could buy them in English online, or a place to download a PDF version? Also got a few questions in the meantime if anyone could help would be appreciated.

Also, in the meantime there is a traction control button - when the light on the dash for this is orange I pressume the traction control is turned off?

The button to move the drive between front and rear, and the lines that come up on the dash, how does that work - is it the more lines there are the more the drive is to the front wheels?

The keys - on my old 2003 sti there was a code that you punched in to over-ride the immobiliser if the battery in the key stopped working. How does it work in this car? What do you do if the battery in your key fob quits while you are out?

Cheers everyone.
Edited to add the car is a May 2009 car, not sure if that is MY2009 or MY 2010.

The traction control has 2 modes... I never played with it so not sure what colour mean what... someone on here (or in the members section under hatch owners) will know.

The lines on the dif control display are degrees of lock... with all of the lines displayed meaning fully locked between front and rear... & one line meaning fully open.

The + and - are bias control, so - is more rear bias...and + is more front bias...

Keeping it in auto - or + is the best solution...

So how do you change the bias without locking the Diff? So the lines that come up are not showing bias between front and rear right? How do I see that? Thanks for the help.

keep it in auto, and just flick the switch back one click for auto -
... or front one click for auto +

It'll reset to auto with no bias at the next ignition startup

Marky i think the normal distrabution on auto is 42/58 split more to back. In the snow i whack it onto + not that your gonna get snow where u are, i found the back didnt come out as much

STi, Gibralter?
Have you ever been out of 1st gear?

Littleted

please explain are the roads that pants ?

marky1

Well it's tiny so they are not great but just across the border we of course have the south of Spain with some great roads that puts the uk to shame!

Littleted

Marky what fuel ungot there ie 98ron etc is it same as uk

Also satnav which one uk doesnt have sat nav unless u pay extra and its fujitsu model which is yours

marky1

Yeah 98 RON I presume same as the UK.

I'm not sure what Satnav it is but there are 3 discs for it in 2 boxes with Subaru written on them. Each disc covers a certain area of Europe. Sat Nav was standard on the car I think as it was 51,000 euros new, can't imagine with that price it didn't include it.

Edited to add, actually I don't think the Sat Nav was standard.
