Interior equipment
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
