So since I am technically a Subaru "Noob" I figured I would post my question here

How exactly does the auto/manual Diff feature work and what conditions would require it to be + or -, locked out etc. I live in upstate NY and have heard people suggest to lock it out during the winter but just wanted to get some assistance as I know nothing about this stuff lol, always drove fwd prior to the STi

Sorry for the stupid question lol!

The 2015 WRX STI DCCD AWD System has three automatic modes:

“Auto” provides optimal performance for all conditions. The “Auto” (-) Active Sport setting shifts the torque bias to the rear and also opens the center limited-slip differential (no locking factor), which improves steering feel for performance driving on the track.

Auto for when normal driving
Auto - for when wanting to do some spirited stuff.
Auto + when it's snowy/wet/icy. Or different manual lock setting when the stuff gets deep.
That's how I run mine.

Thank you [MENTION=3665]tandj[/MENTION] for asking! I'm a noob to subie myself and I just haven't had a chance to venture into the DCCD stuff.

Haha yeah it was all confusing to me! I was so thrilled with driving it in general that I didn't even think about the other features lol!

What give you more rear wheel bias? Auto -, or manual open? I'm of the understanding that it's manual open. TIA
