Cigarette lighter socket (if equipped)

CAUTION

D The electrical power socket located on the lower part of the

instrument panel is originally designed to use a SUBARU genuine

cigarette lighter plug. Do not use non-genuine cigarette lighter

plugs in the socket. Doing so may cause a short-circuit and over-

heating, resulting in a fire.

D If the socket is ever used for a plug-in accessory such as a

mobile phone, they may damage the portion of the socket’s inter-

nal mechanism that causes a cigarette lighter plug to “pop out”

after its lighter element is heated. Therefore, do not place a ciga-

rette lighter plug in a socket that has been used, even once, to

power a plug-in accessory. Doing so may cause the plug to stick

and overheat, creating a potential fire hazard.

D Do not place any foreign objects, especially metal ones such

as coins or aluminum foil, into the socket. That could cause a

short circuit.

HB6011BA

The electrical power socket located on the lower part of the instrument

panel can be used as cigarette lighter socket. A cigarette lighter plug is

an optional accessory. It is available from your SUBARU dealer.

The cigarette lighter socket may also be used as a power source for an

in-car use electrical appliance.

B Use with a cigarette lighter

WARNING

To avoid being burned, never grasp the lighter by the end with

the heating element. Doing so could result in injury and could

also damage the heating element.

CAUTION

Do not hold the lighter pushed in, because it will overheat.

HB6011DA

The cigarette lighter operates only when the ignition switch is in the

“ON” and “ACC” positions.

To use the cigarette lighter, push in the knob and wait a few moments.

It will automatically spring up when ready for use.

B Using as an accessory power outlet

Electrical power (12V DC) from the battery is on tap at the socket

when the ignition switch is either in the “ACC” or “ON” position.

If you use the socket as an accessory power outlet, take the following

precautions.

When the socket is not in use, always put the cap on the socket to

prevent any foreign object from entering it.

CAUTION

D Use only in-car use electrical appliances which are designed

for 12V DC and which consume less than 120W. Overloading the

socket can cause a short circuit. Do not use double adapters or

more than one electrical appliance.

D If the plug on your electric appliance is either too loose or too

tight for the socket, this can result in a poor contact or cause the

plug to get stuck. Only use plugs that fit properly.

D Use of an electric appliance in the socket for a long period of

time while the engine is not running can cause battery discharge.

D Before driving your vehicle, make sure that the plug and the

cord on your electrical appliance will not interfere with your shift-

6-12

ing gears and operating the accelerator and brake pedals. If they

do, do not use the electrical appliance while driving.

If the socket has been used for electrical appliances, damage may

have been done to the internal mechanism that cause a cigarette

lighter to “pop-out” after its element has been heated. For that reason,

a cigarette lighter, even if it is a genuine part, should not be used in

the socket. If you want to use the socket for a cigarette lighter again,

or to protect your purchaser before you sell your car, have your

SUBARU dealer replace the socket with a new one.

Ashtray

CAUTION

Do not use ashtrays as waste receptacles or leave a lighted ciga-

rette in an ashtray. This could cause a fire.

Fully close the ashtray after using it to help reduce residual smoke.

HB7009BAHB6011CA

B Front ashtray

To open the ashtray, pull the lid out.

B Rear ashtray (if equipped)

The rear ashtray is located on the upper side of the back of the center

console. To open the ashtray, pull the upper edge of the lid.
