NOTE
When the lid of the center console is
closed, an opening remains between
the center console and the lid to allow
the power outlet in the center console
to be used. Pass the electrical appli-
ance’s cord through this opening. „
Use with a cigarette lighter
(Canada only, if equipped)
To use the accessory power outlet beside
the front pocket as a cigarette lighter sock-
et, purchase the cigarette lighter plug,
which is an optional accessory.
A cigarette lighter plug is available from
your SUBARU dealer.
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 auto-
matically spring up when ready for use.

To avoid being burned, never grasp
the lighter by the end with the heat-
ing element. Doing so could result
in injury and could also damage the
heating element. y Do not hold the lighter pushed in,
because it will overheat.
y The electrical power socket locat-
ed on the lower part of the instru-
ment panel is originally designed
to use a genuine SUBARU ciga-
rette lighter plug. Do not use non-
genuine cigarette lighter plugs in
the socket. Doing so may cause a
short-circuit and overheating, re-
sulting in a fire.

Ashtray (Canada only, if
equipped)
It is possible to install on ashtray, which is
an optional accessory, in the front pocket.
The ashtray is available from your SUBA-
RU dealer.
To open the ashtray, push lightly on the lid
below the climate controls.
Fully close the lid after using it to help re-
duce residual smoke.
To remove the ashtray for cleaning, holdthe right and left sides of the ashtray and
pull it out.
NOTE
Particles of ash and tobacco will accu-
mulate around the hinges of the ash-
tray’s inner lid. Clean them off using a
toothbrush or other narrow-ended im-
plement.
y
If the socket is ever used for a
plug-in accessory such as a cell
phone, that may damage the por-
tion of the socket’s internal mech-
anism that causes a cigarette
lighter plug to “pop out” after its
lighter element is heated. There-
fore, do not place a cigarette light-
er 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.
Do not use ashtrays as waste recep-
tacles or leave a lighted cigarette in
an ashtray. This could cause a fire.
