below the climate control dials and in the
center console. Electrical power (12V DC)
from the battery is available at any of the
outlets when the ignition switch is in either
the“ACC”or“ON”position.
You can use an in-vehicle electrical appli-
ance by connecting it to an outlet.
The maximum power rating of an appli-
ance that can be connected is120W.Do
not use an appliance which exceeds the
indicated wattage for each outlet.
When using appliances connected to two
or more outlets simultaneously, the total
power consumed by them must not ex-
ceed 120W.
CAUTION
.Do not attempt to use a cigarette
lighter in the accessory power
outlets.
.Do not place any foreign objects,
especially metal ones such as
coins or aluminum foil, into the
accessory power outlet. That
could cause a short circuit. Al-
ways put the cap on the acces-
sory power outlet when it is not in
use.
.Use only electrical appliances
which are designed for 12V DC.
The maximum power rating of anappliance that can be connected
is 120W. Do not use an appliance
which exceeds the indicated wat-
tage for each outlet.
When using appliances con-
nected to two or more outlets
simultaneously, the total power
consumed by them must not
exceed 120W. Overloading the
accessory power outlet can
cause a short circuit. Do not use
double adapters or more than
one electrical appliance.
.If the plug on your electric appli-
ance is either too loose or too
tight for the accessory power
outlet, this can result in a poor
contact or cause the plug to get
stuck. Only use plugs that fit
properly.
.Use of an electric appliance in the
accessory power outlet 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 appliance will not
interfere with your shifting gears
and operating the accelerator
and brake pedals. If they do, donot use the electrical appliance
while driving.
&Use with a cigarette lighter (if
equipped)To use the accessory power outlet as a
cigarette lighter socket, 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”or“ACC”
position.
To use the cigarette lighter, push in the
knob and wait a few moments. It will
automatically spring up when ready for
use.
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 da-
mage the heating element.

CAUTION
.Do not hold the lighter pushed in,
because it will overheat.
.The electrical power socket is
originally designed to use a gen-
uine SUBARU cigarette lighter
plug. Do not use a non-genuine
cigarette lighter plug in the sock-
et. Doing so may cause a short-
circuit and overheating, resulting
in a fire.
.If the socket is ever used for a
plug-in accessory such as a cell
phone, that may damage the
portion of the socket’s internal
mechanism that causes a cigar-
ette lighter plug to“pop out”after
its lighter element is heated.
Therefore, do not place a cigar-
ette 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.
Ashtray (if equipped)
CAUTION
Observe the following precautions.
Not doing so could result in a fire.
.Always extinguish matches and
cigarettes before putting them
into the ashtray, and then close
the ashtray securely.
.Do not put flammable material in
the ashtray.
.Do not leave a lighted cigarette in
the ashtray.
.Do not leave a lot of cigarette
butts in the ashtray.NOTEParticles of ash and tobacco will accu-
mulate around the hinges of the ash-
tray’s inner lid. Clean them off using a
toothbrush or a similar narrow-ended
implement.
You can install the portable ashtray in each
cup holder or bottle holder. For the loca-
tions of the cup holders, refer to“Cup
holders”F6-6. For the locations of the
bottle holders, refer to“Bottle holders”F6-
8.
When using the ashtray, open the lid of the
ashtray. Fully close the lid after using the
ashtray to help reduce residual smoke.

.When waxing the vehicle, be careful
not to apply the wax to the camera. If it
comes in contact with the camera,
moisten a clean cloth with a diluted
neutral detergent to remove the wax.
.The camera lens has a hard coating
to help prevent scratches. However,
when washing the vehicle or cleaning
the camera lens, be careful not to
scratch the camera lens. Do not use a
washing brush directly on the camera
lens. The image quality of the rear view
camera may deteriorate.
.Strong light shined on the camera
lens may develop vertical lines around
the light source. This is not a malfunc-
tion.
.Under fluorescent light, the display
may flicker. However, this is not a
malfunction.
.The image of the rear view camera
may be slightly different from the actual
color of the objects.
&How to use the rear view
cameraWhen the shift lever (MT models) or select
lever (CVT models) is set to“R”, the rear
view camera automatically displays the
rear view image from the vehicle. When
the lever is set to other positions, the
image before setting to“R”is displayed.
1. Set the ignition switch to“ON”.
2. Set the shift lever (MT models) or
select lever (CVT models) to“R”.NOTE.The image of the rear view camera
has priority over other screen displays.
Therefore, while the rear view camera is
in operation, the operations of other
screens are disabled. To operate other
screens, set the shift lever or select
lever to a position other than“R”.
.The image of the rear view camera is
horizontally reversed as is the case
with the vehicle rear view mirror or the
side view mirror.
.It may be difficult to see the image of
the rear view camera in the following
cases. This is not a malfunction of the
camera.
–The vehicle is in a dark place (at
night, in a tunnel, etc.).
–The vehicle is in an extremely hotor cold place.
–An object (such as raindrops,
snow, dirt, etc.) that disturbs the
view of the rear view camera sticks
to the lens of the camera.
–Strong light shined directly on
the camera lens (occasionally, there
are vertical lines on the screen).
!Rear view image cancel delay func-
tion
The rear view image cancel delay function
will keep the rear view image displayed
after shifting the shift lever/select lever out
of the“R”position before the screen
returns to the previous screen.

WARNING
Because the range of the image
captured by the camera is limited,
always check the traffic around the
vehicle directly with your eyes when
driving the vehicle.NOTE.The range of the displayed image
may differ depending on the vehicle
status or the road surface status.
.Because the Front View Monitor
system uses a specially designed lens,
the sense of distance in the displayed
image is different from the actual dis-
tance.
.The camera image may be difficult to
view in the following situations. This is
not a malfunction.
–Dark place (at night)
–High or low temperature around
the lens
–Water contacts lens or in high
humidity (rainy weather)
–There is foreign materials (such
as mud) around the camera
–Sunlight or headlight beam di-
rectly shines towards the camera
lens
.Under an artificial light such as afluorescent lamp, sodium-vapor lamp
or mercury lamp, the lighted portion
may look like it is flickering (flicker
phenomenon).
.While the display has cooled down,
the image may leave traces or become
darker than usual, causing a difficulty
in viewing the screen. Always check the
traffic around the vehicle directly with
your eyes while driving the vehicle.
.The following incidents should not
be deemed a malfunction.
–The camera lens may become
foggy when the humidity is high on
a rainy day.
–The light from a vehicle or build-
ing located ahead may be reflected
towards the camera image while
driving at night.
–In a dark place or while driving at
night, the camera image may be
adjusted to make noises less visi-
ble. Therefore, the image may look
like a monochromatic image or the
image colors may differ from the
actual colors. The camera image
may be deteriorated in regard to
sharpness at the center and four
corners of the screen. This is not a
malfunction.
&Guiding line1) Guiding line
2) Warning messageThe guiding line that indicates the width
and the front end of your vehicle is
displayed on the display.&Handling of camera
CAUTION
Observe the following instructions.
Otherwise, the system may malfunc-
tion.
