& Use with the cigarette lighter ( dealer option )
S06AF01
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 damage 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 genuine SUBARU cigarette lighter plug . Do not use a non-genuine cigarette lighter plug in the socket . Doing so may cause a shortcircuit 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 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 hazard .
