I apologize if this has already been discussed, I tried to search but couldn't find exactly what I was looking for.
Since I’m completely new to Subaru I’ve been doing tons of reading up on various sites (IE - Here, Cars101 and Subaru.com).
I've found what appears to be an inconsistency of information on the Symmetrical AWD system.
Cars 101 (screenshot attached) says "Electronically controlled,
primarily front wheel wheel but constantly monitoring and varying the front/back power split."

Subaru.com states the vehicle is in AWD all the time and diverts some additional power to other tires when needed.

So which is it??
