Accessory power socket

B Electrical power socket located on the left-lower part of the
instrument panel
CAUTION
The electrical power socket located on the lower part of the
instrument panel is designed to use only a SUBARU genuine cig-
arette lighter plug. Do not use non-genuine cigarette lighter plugs
or any "plug-in" type electrical accessories in the socket. Doing
so many cause a short-circuit and overheating, resulting in a fire.
Refer to the "Cigarette lighter" section in this chapter.
B Accessory power socket in the luggage compartment and dual
power socket (if equipped)
CAUTION
D Do not attempt to use a cigarette lighter in the accessory
socket or dual power socket.
D Do not place any foreign objects, especially metal ones such
as coins or aluminum foil, into the accessory socket or dual
power socket. That could cause a short circuit. Always put the
cap on the accessory socket and dual power socket when it is
not in use.
D Use only electrical appliances which are designed for 12V DC
and which consume less than 120W. Overloading the accessory
socket or dual power socket can cause a short circuit. Do not use
double adapters or more than one electrical appliance.
D If the plug on your electric appliance is either too loose or too
tight for the accessory socket or dual power socket, this can
result in a poor contact or cause the plug to get stuck. Only use
plugs that fit properly.
