Glenn Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Hi everyone got a 1990 subaru legacy as my daughter's 1st vehicle. I need an owners manual. Any advice on this would be appreciated. There are levers and switches I don't know what they do. like the manual button on the gear shift. And the red button at the base of the gear shift it looks like a lock button for a door lock. Thanks in advance for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster2 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Years back I had a 91 Legacy. The manual button I never used. I think activating it resulted in the tranny locked in a specific gear. I could never think of where that would ever be needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted June 16, 2015 Author Share Posted June 16, 2015 My father told me they used to have automatic transmissions that could be used as a manual transmission. He never saw one but thought this might be one. He had no idea how it worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikaleda Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 The Manuel button is basically an early form of traction control, it only operates when the shifter is in 3 or 2 and it holds the transmission out of first gear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted June 17, 2015 Author Share Posted June 17, 2015 Next issue. Now my daughter has opened the sun roof. But it will now not close. Hoping it is a fuse issue. Anyone n Know where the inside fuse box is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

86 Wonder Wedge Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) It has a safety feature of closing to approx 3/4 of the way then stopping. Releasing and pressing the button again will let it close. Or if it REALLY has died, there is a manual close portal under the lone plastic cap in the headliner, above the rear seat. The bellcrank for the manual operation is under the lid of the center console. The MANUAL button will keep the transmission from down shifting into 1st at a stop/slow speed condition in order to prevent major wheel spin for the heavy-footed in poor traction conditions.

heartless Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 have you gotten an owners manual yet? If not, I have one or two lying around I would be willing to part with for shipping costs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
