The Subaru must have had an agricultural diff lock to have an "on/off" light. The CX-3 couldn't because it has a completely variable AWD. It would have to have a fader!OK Thanks! I looked at the BMW X1 and the Subaru Crosstrek when I bought my CX-3 and I remember the Subaru had an indicator that the rear wheels had engaged but I don't think the X1 did.
It's possible the salesman was blowing smoke but he made a point of saying ...see here in the center LCD display that the rear wheels are engaging. They turned green I think.The Subaru's (all) have full time AWD. The only time mine ever lit up was when I had to pull the fuse that disabled the AWD system when I had to drive with the dinky little spare wheel after a blowout. Driving with AWD with the spare could do serious damage. The only way to handle it is to make sure the spare is on one of the rear wheels and that the FWD light is lit up after the fuse is pulled.
Does the CX3 have a similar way to disable the AWD?The Subaru's (all) have full time AWD.
