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 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.

Ashtray (if equipped)
CAUTION
. Do not use ashtrays as waste
receptacles or leave a lighted
cigarette in an ashtray. This
could cause a fire.
. Always extinguish matches and
cigarettes before putting them
into the ashtray, and then close
the ashtray securely. If you keep
the ashtray open, the fire of the
cigarette may spread to another
cigarette butt and start a fire.
. Do not put flammable material in
the ashtray.
. Do not leave a lot of cigarette
butts in the ashtray.

NOTE
Particles of ash and tobacco will accumulate around the hinges of the ashtray’s inner lid. Clean them off using a
toothbrush or a similar narrow-ended
implement.
