Cigarette lighter socket (if equipped)
y
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 overheating, resulting in a fire. y If the socket is ever used for a plug-in acces-
sory such as a mobile phone, they may damage
the portion of the socket’s internal mechanism
that causes a cigarette lighter plug to “pop out”
after its lighter element is heated. Therefore, do
not place a cigarette 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 haz-
ard.y Do not place any foreign objects, especially
metal ones such as coins or aluminum foil, into
the socket. That could cause a short circuit. The electrical power socket located on the lower part
of the instrument panel can be used as cigarette light-
er socket. A cigarette lighter plug is an optional acces-
sory. 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. „
Use with a cigarette lighter
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.
Do not hold the lighter pushed in, because it
will overheat.
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. „
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.
y Use only in-car use electrical appliances
which are designed for 12V DC and which con-
sume less than 120W. Overloading the socket
can cause a short circuit. Do not use double
adapters or more than one electrical appliance. y If the plug on your electric appliance is either
too loose or too tight for the socket, this can re-
sult in a poor contact or cause the plug to get
stuck. Only use plugs that fit properly. y Use of an electric appliance in the socket for
a long period of time while the engine is not
running can cause battery discharge. y Before driving your vehicle, make sure that
the plug and the cord on your electrical appli-
ance will not interfere with your shifting 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 mecha-
nism 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 ciga-
rette lighter again, or to protect your purchaser before
you sell your car, have your SUBARU dealer replace
the socket with a new one.
Ashtray
Do not use ashtrays as waste receptacles or
leave a lighted cigarette in an ashtray. This
could cause a fire.
Fully close the ashtray after using it to help reduce re-
sidual smoke. „ Front ashtray
