center console. Electrical power (12V DC)
from the battery is available at any of the
outlets when the ignition switch is in either
the
“

or
“

”
position.
You can use an in-vehicle electrical
appliance by connecting it to an outlet.
The maximum power rating of an appli-
ance that can be connected varies among
outlets as indicated below. Do not use an
appliance which exceeds the indicated
wattage for each outlet.
Outlet below the climate controls: 80W or
less
Outlets in the center console: 120W or
less
When using appliances connected to two
outlets simultaneously, the total power
consumed by them must not exceed
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 an
appliance that can be connected
varies among outlets as indi-
cated below. Do not use an
appliance which exceeds the in-
dicated wattage for each outlet.
Outlet below the climate con-
trols: 80W or less
Outlet in the center console:
120W or less
When using appliances con-
nected to two outlets simulta-
neously, the total power con-
sumed by them must not exceed
120W. Overloading the accessory
power outlet can cause a short
circuit. Do not use dual adapters
or more than one electrical appli-
ance.
.
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 accel-
erator and brake pedals. If they
do, do not use the electrical
appliance while driving.
&
Use with a cigarette lighter
(Canada only, if equipped)
To use the accessory power outlet in the
center console 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.
