Cigarette Lighter Socket - Subaru 2003 Baja Owner's Manual

Cigarette lighter socket

CAUTION
D The electrical power socket located on the lower part of the
instrument panel is originally designed to use a SUBARU genuine
cigarette lighter plug. Do not use non-genuine cigarette lighter
plugs in the socket. Doing so may cause a short-circuit and over-
heating, resulting in a fire.
D If the socket is ever used for a plug-in accessory such as a
mobile phone, they may damage the portion of the socket's inter-
nal mechanism that causes a cigarette lighter plug to "pop out"
after its lighter element is heated. Therefore, do not place a ciga-
rette 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.
D Do not place any foreign objects, especially metal ones such
as coins or aluminum foil, into the socket. That could cause a
short circuit.
The electrical power socket located on the lower part of the instrument
panel can be used as cigarette lighter socket. A cigarette lighter plug is
an optional accessory. It is available from your SUBARU dealer.
The cigarette lighter socket may also be used as a power source for an
in-car use electrical appliance.
