All Subaru vehicles including the Outback have a full time Symmetrical All-Wheel drive. The Outback is automatically in all-wheel drive and will stay in All-Wheel drive. Symmetrical All-Wheel drive is Subaru's famous All-Wheel drive system which sends power to all four wheels at all time. If it detects slippage in any wheel it will redirect power from that wheel to wheels that have superior traction.

If its AWD its Full time AWD
But you will need to turn the OverDrive off in Bad weather
If its A 4 X 4 model you have to In gauge the 4 WD
Switch While its running and the Light will come on.

It is a symmetrical AWD. That means all four wheels are turning all the time. Just drive it like a normal car.

Don't know how it is on an outback, but I used to have a Subaru Legacy and it was always in awd when it was driving! good luck in the snow.
ps, doesn't mean it isn't still capable of slipping (I have up her in icy Wisconsin).

Its full time all wheel drive there's nothing you need to do to put it into all wheel drive. It does it by itself.

Subarus are always in all wheel drive. there is no need to turn it on because it is always on.

assuming its the same as my STi, if youre driving in snow, you might want to lock the center differential. gives better grip in ice and snow. check your manual for how to do this.
