Subaru Forester: Interior equipment / Ashtray (dealer option)
CAUTION
- Do not use ashtrays as waste
receptacles or leave a lighted
cigarette in an ashtray. This could
cause a fire.
- Always extinguish matches and
cigarettes before putting them
into the ashtray, and then close
the ashtray securely. If you keep
the ashtray open, the fire of the
cigarette may spread to another
cigarette butt and start a fire.
- Do not put flammable material in
the ashtray.
- Do not leave a lot of cigarette
butts in the ashtray.
NOTE
Particles of ash and tobacco will accumulate
around the hinges of the ashtray’s
inner lid. Clean them off using a
toothbrush or a similar narrow-ended
implement.

The portable ashtray can be installed in
each cup holder or bottle holder. For the
locations of the cup holders, refer to “Cup
holders”. For the locations of the
bottle holders, refer to “Bottle holders”.
When using the ashtray, open the lid of the
ashtray. Fully close the lid after using the
ashtray to help reduce residual smoke.

interferes with the movement of the
