Subaru Forester: Interior equipment / Accessory power outlets
CAUTION
- Do not place any foreign objects,
especially metal ones, such as
coins or aluminum foil, into the
accessory power outlet. That
could cause a short circuit. Always
put the cap on the accessory
power outlet when it is not in
use.
- If the plug on your electric appliance
is either too loose or too
tight for the accessory power
outlet, this can result in a poor
contact or cause the plug to get
stuck. Only use plugs that fit
properly.
- Use of an electric appliance in the
accessory power outlet for a long
period of time while the engine is
not running can cause battery
discharge.
- Before driving your vehicle, make
sure that the plug and the cord on
your electrical appliance will not
interfere with shifting gears and
operating the accelerator and
brake pedals. If they do, do not
use the electrical appliance while
driving.
Electrical power (12 V DC) is available at
any of the accessory power outlets when
the ignition switch is in either the “ACC” or
“ON” position. Accessory power outlets
are located in the following places.
Power outlet below the climate control panel
Power outlet in the center console
Power outlet in the cargo area
You can use an in-vehicle electrical appliance
by connecting it to an outlet.
The maximum power rating of an appliance
that can be connected is 120 W.
CAUTION
- Do not attempt to use a cigarette
lighter in the accessory power
outlets.
- Use only electrical appliances
which are designed for 12 V DC.
The maximum power rating of an
appliance that can be connected
is 120 W. Do not use an appliance
which exceeds the indicated wattage
for each outlet.
- When using appliances connected
to two outlets simultaneously,
the total power consumed
by them must not exceed
120 W. Overloading the accessory
power outlet can cause a
short circuit. Do not use double
adapters or more than one electrical
appliance.
NOTE
When the lid of the center console is
closed, an opening remains between
the center console and the lid to allow
the power outlet in the center console
to be used. Pass the cord of the
electrical appliance through this opening.
To use the accessory power outlet as a
cigarette lighter socket, purchase the
cigarette lighter plug, which is an optional
accessory. A cigarette lighter plug is
available from your SUBARU dealer.
The cigarette lighter operates only when
the ignition switch is in the “ON” or “ACC”
position.
To use the cigarette lighter, push in the
knob and wait a few moments. It will
automatically spring up when ready for
use.
WARNING
To avoid being burned, never grasp
the lighter by the end with the
heating element. Doing so could
result in injury and could also damage
the heating element.
CAUTION
- Do not hold the lighter pushed in,
because it will overheat.
- The electrical power socket is
originally designed to use a genuine
SUBARU cigarette lighter
plug. Do not use a non-genuine
cigarette lighter plug in the socket.
Doing so may cause a shortcircuit
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 cigarette
lighter plug to “pop out” after
its lighter element is heated.
Therefore, do not place a cigarette
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.
CAUTION
Do not pick up a bottle from the
bottle holder or put a bottle in the
holder while you are driving, as
this may distract you and lead to
an accident.
When placing a beverage in a
bottle holder, make sure it is
capped. Otherwise, the beverage
could spill when opening/closing ..
CAUTION
The specification of a USB terminal
that can be used is the Atype.
If a different specification of
terminal is connected, power
supply or charging may not be
possible, or the device may malfunction...
