If the temperature is beyond the range, the maximum number is shown. 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 cigarette 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) 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. CAUTION 6-18
