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-
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.
