Power outlet in the cargo area

(12V DC)

Accessory power outlets are provided below the climate controls, in the center console and in the cargo area. Electrical power from the battery is available at any of the outlets when the ignition switch is in either the “Acc” or “ON” position. You can use an electrical appliance by connecting it to an outlet. The maximum power rating of an appli- ance that can be connected is 120W. Do not use an appliance which exceeds the indicated wattage for each outlet. When using appliances connected to two or more outlets simultaneously, the total power consumed by them must not exceed 120W.

CAUTION

. Do not attempt to use a cigarette lighter plug in the accessory power outlets.

. 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. Al- ways put the cap on the acces- sory power outlet when it is not in use.

. Use only electrical appliances which are designed for 12V DC. The maximum power rating of an appliance that can be connected is 120W. Do not use an appliance which exceeds the indicated wat- tage for each outlet. When using appliances con- nected to two or more outlets simultaneously, the total power consumed by them must not exceed 120W. Overloading the accessory power outlet can cause a short circuit. Do not use double adapters.

Black plate (246,1)

. If the plug on your electric appli- ance 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 your shifting gears and operating the accel- erator and brake pedals. If they do, do not use the electrical appliance while driving.

& Cigarette lighter (dealer op-

tion)

A cigarette lighter may be installed in place of an accessory power outlet. The cigarette lighter assembly is available from your SUBARU dealer. The cigarette lighter operates only when the ignition switch is in the “ON” or “Acc” position.

Rear view camera (if equipped)

A rear view camera is attached to the rear gate. When the ignition switch is “ON” and the shift lever (MT models) or select lever (AT models) is set to “R”, the rear view camera automatically displays the rear view image behind the vehicle on the navigation monitor or the display of the type D audio (if equipped).

WARNING

. Since the rear view camera uses a wide-angle lens, the image on the monitor is different from the actual view in terms of distance. . Since the range of the image on

the monitor is limited, you should always check the rear view and the surrounding area with your eyes and mirrors, and move backward at a slow speed. Mov- ing backward only by checking the rear view image from the camera could cause an accident. . Do not disassemble or modify the camera, switch or wiring. If smoke comes out or you smell a strange odor, stop using the rear view camera immediately. Contact your SUBARU dealer for an inspection. Continued use may result fire or electric shock.

in accident,

CAUTION

. If your vehicle is washed with a high-pressure washer, do not allow water to contact the camera directly. Entry of water in the camera lens may result in con- densation, malfunction, fire or electric shock.

. Since the camera is a precision device, do not subject it to strong impacts. Otherwise, malfunction, fire or electric shock may occur.

Black plate (253,1)

Interior equipment 6-17

. If mud or snow sticks to or is frozen on the camera, you must be very careful removing it. Otherwise, damage to the camera may cause a fire or electric shock. Pour water or lukewarm water over the camera to remove mud and ice, and wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.

. Do not put a flame close to the camera or wiring. Otherwise, da- mage or fire may occur.

. When replacing the fuse, be sure to use a fuse with the specified rating. Use of a fuse with a different rating may result in a malfunction.

. If the rear view camera is used for a long time while the engine is not operated, the battery may become completely discharged.

NOTE . Do not wipe the camera with alcohol, benzine or paint thinner. Otherwise, discoloration may occur. To remove contamination, wipe the camera with a cloth moistened with a diluted neutral detergent and then wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. . When waxing the vehicle, be careful – CONTINUED –

not to apply the wax to the camera. If it comes in contact with the camera, moisten a clean cloth with a diluted neutral detergent to remove the wax. . The camera lens has hard coating to help prevent scratches. However, when washing the vehicle or cleaning the camera lens, be careful not to scratch the camera lens. Do not use a washing brush directly on the camera lens. The image quality of the rear view camera may deteriorate. . Strong light shined on the camera lens may develop vertical lines around the light source. This is not a malfunc- tion. . Under fluorescent light, the display may flicker. However, this is not a malfunction. . The image of the rear view camera may be slightly different from the actual color of the objects.

& How to use the rear view

camera

When the shift lever or select lever is set to “R”, the rear view camera automatically displays the rear view image from the vehicle. When the lever is set to other positions, the image before setting to “R” is displayed. 1. Set the ignition switch to “ON”.

2. Set the shift lever or select lever to “R”.

& Viewing range on the screen

CAUTION

The range that can be viewed with the rear view camera is limited. Always be sure to check with your eyes when moving backward and proceed slowly.

Range of view

NOTE . For models with the genuine SUBARU navigation system, the image of the rear view camera has priority over other screen displays. Therefore, while the rear view camera is in opera- tion, the operations of other screens are disabled. To operate other screens, set the shift lever or select lever to a position other than “R”. . The image of the rear view camera is horizontally reversed as is the case with the vehicle rearview mirror or the side view mirror. . It may be difficult to see the image of the rearview camera in the following cases. This is not a malfunction of the camera.

– The vehicle is in a dark place (at night, in a tunnel, etc.). – The vehicle is in an extremely hot or cold place. – An object (such as raindrops, snow, dirt, etc.) that disturbs the view of the rear view camera sticks to the lens of the camera. – Strong light shined directly on the camera lens (occasionally, there are vertical lines on the screen).

Fuel

CAUTION

Use of a fuel which is low in quality or use of an inappropriate fuel additive may cause engine damage.

& Fuel requirements ! Non-turbo models The engine is designed to operate using unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 AKI (90 RON) or higher. ! Turbo models The engine is designed to operate using premium unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 91 AKI (95 RON) or higher. If premium unleaded gasoline is not available, regular unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 AKI (90 RON) or higher may be temporarily used. For optimum engine performance and drive- ability, it is required that you use premium grade unleaded gasoline. NOTE Be sure to use premium unleaded gasoline of 91 AKI (95 RON) or higher for turbo engine models. If other gaso-

is normal

line (lower than 91 AKI (95 RON)) is used, knocking, reduced output and poor acceleration will result. ! Fuel octane rating This octane rating is the average of the Research Octane and Motor Octane numbers and is commonly referred to as the Anti Knock Index (AKI). Using a gasoline with a lower octane rating can cause persistent and heavy knocking, which can damage the engine. It if your vehicle sometimes knocks lightly when you drive up a hill or when you accelerate, but contact your SUBARU dealer if your vehicle knocks heavily or persistently even though you are using a fuel with the specified octane rating. ! Unleaded gasoline The neck of the fuel filler pipe is designed to accept only an unleaded gasoline filler nozzle. Under no circumstances should leaded gasoline be used because it will damage the emission control system and may impair driveability and fuel economy. ! Gasoline for California-certified

LEV

If your vehicle was certified to California’s low emission vehicle (LEV) standards as indicated on the underhood tune-up label,

Black plate (260,1)

it is designed to optimize engine and emission performance with gasoline that meets the clean burning low-sulfur Cali- fornia gasoline specifications. Gasoline sold outside California is permitted to have higher sulfur levels. It can be used but it may affect the performance of your vehicle’s catalytic converter and may produce a sulfur exhaust odor or smell. SUBARU recommends that you try a different brand of unleaded gasoline hav- ing lower sulfur to determine if the problem is fuel related before returning your vehicle to an authorized SUBARU dealer for service. ! MMT Some gasoline contains an octane-en- hancing additive called MMT (Methylcy- clopentadienyl Manganese Tricarbonyl). If you use such fuels, your emission control system performance may deteriorate and the CHECK ENGINE warning light/Mal- function indicator light may turn on. If this happens, contact an authorized SUBARU dealer for service. If it is determined that the condition is caused by the type of fuel used, repairs may not be covered by your warranty.

北米Model "A8170BE-A" EDITED: 2011/ 6/ 24

! Gasoline for cleaner air Your use of gasoline with detergent additives will help prevent deposits from forming in your engine and fuel system. This helps keep your engine in tune and your emission control system working properly, and is a way of doing your part for cleaner air. If you continuously use a high quality fuel with the proper detergent and other additives, you should never need to add any fuel system cleaning agents to your fuel tank.

Many gasolines are now blended with materials called oxygenates. Use of these fuels can also help keep the air cleaner. Oxygenated blend fuels, such as MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl ether) or ethanol (ethyl or grain alcohol) blended fuel may be used in your vehicle, but should contain no more than 15% MTBE or 10% ethanol for the proper operation of your SUBARU.

In addition, some gasoline suppliers are now producing reformulated gasolines, which are designed to reduce vehicle emissions. SUBARU approves the use of reformulated gasoline.

If you are not sure what the fuel contains, you should ask your service station operators if their gasolines contain deter-

gents and oxygenates and if they have been reformulated to reduce vehicle emis- sions.

it

As additional guidance, only use fuels suited for your vehicle as explained in the following description. . Fuel should be unleaded and have an octane rating no lower than that specified in this manual. . Methanol (methyl or wood alcohol) is sometimes mixed with unleaded gasoline. Methanol can be used in your vehicle ONLY if it does not exceed 5% of the fuel mixture AND if is accompanied by sufficient quantities of the proper cosol- vents and corrosion inhibitors required to prevent damage to the fuel system. Do not use fuel containing methanol EXCEPT under these conditions. . If undesirable driveability problems are experienced and you suspect they may be fuel related, try a different brand of gaso- line before seeking service at your SUBARU dealer. . Fuel system damage or driveability problems which result from the use of improper fuel are not covered under the SUBARU Limited Warranty.

CAUTION

Do not let fuel spill on the exterior

Black plate (261,1)

Starting and operating 7-3

surfaces of the vehicle. Because fuel may damage the paint, be sure to wipe off any spilled fuel quickly. Paint damage caused by spilled fuel is not covered under the SUBARU Limited Warranty.

& Fuel filler lid and cap ! Refueling Only one person should be involved in refueling. Do not allow others to approach the area of the vehicle near the fuel filler pipe while refueling is in progress. Be sure to observe any other precautions that are posted at the service station.
