CAUTION
.Do not hold the lighter pushed in,
because it will overheat.
.The electrical power socket is
originally designed to use a gen-
uine SUBARU cigarette lighter
plug. Do not use a non-genuine
cigarette lighter plug in the sock-
et. Doing so may cause a short-
circuit 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 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.
Ashtray (if equipped)
CAUTION
Observe the following precautions.
Not doing so could result in a fire.
.Always extinguish matches and
cigarettes before putting them
into the ashtray, and then close
the ashtray securely.
.Do not put flammable material in
the ashtray.
.Do not leave a lighted cigarette in
the ashtray.
.Do not leave a lot of cigarette
butts in the ashtray.NOTEParticles 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.
You can install the portable ashtray in each
cup holder or bottle holder. For the loca-
tions of the cup holders, refer to“Cup
holders”F6-6. For the locations of the
bottle holders, refer to“Bottle holders”F6-
8.
When using the ashtray, open the lid of the
