(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.
