Electrical power (12 V DC) is available at
any of the accessory power outlets when
the ignition switch is in either the “ACC” or
“ON” position. Accessory power outlets
are located in the following places.

Do not place any foreign objects,
especially metal ones, such as
coins or aluminum foil, into the
accessory power outlet. That

ways put the cap on the acces-
sory power outlet when it is not in
use.

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.
The bottle holder equipped on each door
trim can be used to hold beverage bottles
and other items.

cigarette lighter plug in the sock-
et. Doing so may cause a short-
circuit and overheating, resulting
in a fire.
& Use with the cigarette lighter
6-6. USB power supply
(dealer option)
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.
CAUTION
.
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.
.
The specification of a USB term-
inal that can be used is the A-
type. If a different specification of
terminal is connected, power
supply or charging may not be
possible, or the device may mal-
function.
.
.
There is a risk that a connected
device may malfunction or data
may be damaged. The connec-
tion of a device shall be per-
formed at your responsibility.
WARNING
To avoid an electric shock or a
malfunction, observe the follow-
ing precautions.
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.
