Interior equipment/Ashtray
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 accu-
mulate around the hinges of the ash-
tray ’ s inner lid. Clean them off using a
toothbrush or a similar narrow-ended
implement. The portable ashtray can be installed in
each cup holder or bottle holder. For the
locations of the cup holders, refer to “ Cup
holders ” F 6-6. For the locations of the
bottle holders, refer to “ Bottle holders ” F 6-
7.
When using the ashtray, open the lid of the
ashtray. Fully close the lid after using the
ashtray to help reduce residual smoke. Floor mat (if equipped)
CAUTION
If the floor mat slips forward and
interferes with the movement of the
pedals during driving, it could cause
an accident. Observe the following
precautions to prevent the floor mat
from slipping forward.
. Be sure to use a genuine
SUBARU floor mat or an equiva-
lent designed with grommets in
the correct locations.
. Make sure that the driver ’ s floor
mat is placed in its proper loca-
tion and is correctly secured on
its retaining pins.6-10

. Do not use more than one floor
mat.
Retaining pins are located on the driver ’ s
side floor.
The floor mat should be properly secured
using the built-in grommets, by placing the
grommets over the pins and pushing them
downward. Coat hook
The coat hook is attached to each rear
passenger ’ s hand grip. WARNINGDo not place hangers or other hard
objects on the coat hooks. If such
items were hanging on the coat
hooks during deployment of the
SRS curtain airbags, they could
cause serious injuries by coming
off the coat hooks and being thrown
through the cabin or by preventing
correct airbag deployment. Before
hanging clothing on the coat hooks,
make sure there are no pointed
objects in the pockets. Hang cloth-
ing directly on the coat hooks with-
out using hangers.
CAUTION
Never hang anything on the coat
hook that might obstruct the driver ’ s
view or that could cause injury in
sudden stops or in a collision. And
do not hang items on the coat hook
that weigh 11 lbs (5 kg) or more. Interior equipment/Coat hook

3. Set the fuel filler cap on the cap holder
inside the fuel filler lid.
WARNING
. When refueling, insert the fuel
nozzle securely into the fuel filler
pipe. If the nozzle is lifted or not
fully inserted, its automatic stop- ping mechanism may not func-
tion, causing fuel to overflow the
tank and creating a fire hazard.
. Stop refueling when the auto-
matic stop mechanism on the
fuel nozzle activates. If you con-
tinue to add fuel, temperature

6. Close the fuel filler lid completely.
CAUTION
If you spill any fuel on the painted
surface, rinse it off immediately.
Otherwise, the painted surface could be damaged.
NOTE . You will see the “ ” sign in the fuel
gauge. This indicates that the fuel filler
door (lid) is located on the right side of
the vehicle.
. If the fuel filler cap is not tightened
until it clicks or if the tether is caught
under the cap, the CHECK ENGINE
warning light/malfunction indicator
light may illuminate. Refer to “ CHECK
ENGINE warning light/Malfunction in-
dicator light ” F 3-16.
CAUTION. Never add any cleaning agents to
the fuel tank. The addition of a
cleaning agent may cause da-
mage to the fuel system.
. After refueling, turn the cap
clockwise until it clicks to ensure
that it is fully tightened. If the cap
is not securely tightened, fuel
may leak out while the vehicle is
