Cigarette lighter socket
A cigarette lighter socket can be found behind the ash-
tray lid under the climate controls. Push gently on the
lid to open it. A cigarette lighter plug is an optional ac-
cessory. 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.
"
The electrical power socket located on the
lower part of the instrument panel is originally
designed to use a genuine SUBARU 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. "
If the socket is ever used for a plug-in acces-
sory such as a mobile phone, that 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." Do not place any foreign objects, especially
metal ones such as coins or aluminum foil, into
the socket. That could cause a short circuit.

To use the cigarette lighter, push in the knob and wait
a few moments. It will automatically spring up when
ready for use.
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.
! Using as an accessory power outlet
Electrical power (12V DC) from the battery is available
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 enteringit.
" 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. " 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. " Use of an electric appliance in the socket for
a long period of time while the engine is not
running can cause battery discharge. " 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 causes a cigarette lighter to “pop out” after
its element has been heated. For that reason, a ciga-
rette 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 be-
fore you sell your vehicle, 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

Rear passenger area
Do not hang coathangers or other pointed ob-
jects on the coat hooks. If such items were
hanging on the coat hooks during deployment
of the SRS curtain airbags, they could cause
serious injuries by coming off the coat hooks
and being thrown through the cabin or by pre-
venting correct airbag deployment. Before
hanging clothing on the coat hooks, make sure
there are no pointed objects in the pockets.
Hang clothing directly on the coat hooks with-
out using hangers.
Never hang anything on the coat hook that
might obstruct the driver’s view or that could
cause injury in sudden stops or in a collision.
And do not hang items on the coat hook that
weigh 11 lbs (5 kg) or more.
