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.

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.

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.

Does anyone know if getting a copy of the owners manual would be able to be ordered.

I don't know how complete it is, but there is a 90 legacy owners manual on this site: http://www.main.experiencetherave.com/subaru_manual_scans/

Thank you anything is better than nothing.new to this site, just today. Still learning how to use it. Again thanks

Can't seem to open the file

I guess it is still loading 

there's about half a dozen on ebay

Looks like down load is complete I will see what I can find thanks all 

It won't open. Guess I will try ebay.

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

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?

Drivers side on the left under the dash

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.

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.
