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 in the accessory power outlet.

. 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 varies among outlets as shown in the following list. Do not use an appliance which exceeds the in- dicated wattage for each outlet. – Outlet next to the front pocket:

80W or less

– Outlets in the center console and cargo area: 120W or less 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 or more than one electrical appliance.

. 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.

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 accessory power outlet lo- cated next to the front pocket is originally designed to use a gen- uine SUBARU cigarette lighter plug. Do not use a non-genuine cigarette lighter plug in the sock- et. Doing so may cause a short- circuit and overheating, resulting in a fire.

mechanism that causes a cigar- ette lighter plug to “pop out” after its lighter element is heated. Therefore, do not place a cigar- ette 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.

Ashtray (Canada only — if equipped)

CAUTION

Do not use ashtrays as waste re- ceptacles or leave a lighted cigarette in an ashtray. This could cause a fire.

A portable front ashtray is available from your SUBARU dealer. It fits into one of the cup holders built into the center console. When using the ashtray, open the ashtray lid. Fully close the lid after using it to help reduce residual smoke.

Note the following about this system: If your vehicle is equipped with the HomeLink® Wireless Control System, it complies with Part 15 of the Federal Communication Commission Rules in the U.S. and the RSS-210 of Industry Canada in Canada. Its operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, includ- ing interference that may cause undesired operation.

CAUTION

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

& Fuel requirements ! 2.5 L non-turbo models The 2.5 L non-turbo engine is designed to operate using unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 AKI or higher. ! 2.5 L turbo models The 2.5 L turbo engine is designed to operate using premium unleaded gaso- line with an octane rating of 91 AKI or higher. If premium unleaded gasoline is not available, regular unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 AKI or higher may be temporarily used. For optimum engine performance and driveability, it is required that you use premium grade unleaded gasoline.

NOTE Be sure to use premium unleaded gasoline of 91 AKI or higher for a 2.5
L turbo engine model. If other gasoline (lower than 91 AKI) is used, knocking, reduced output and poor accelerator response will result. ! 3.0 L models The 3.0 L engine is designed to operate using unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 91 AKI or higher. Regular unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 AKI or higher may be used. However for optimum engine performance and driveability, is recommended that you use 91 AKI or higher grade unleaded gasoline. You may experience reduced output, poor accelerator response, and reduced fuel economy when using gaso- line with an octane rating lower than 91
AKI, depending on your driving habits and conditions. If you experience any of these conditions while using a lower octane rated fuel, you may want to return to using 91 AKI octane rated fuel as soon as possible. Additionally, if your vehicle knocks heavily or persistently, or if you are driving with heavy loads such as when towing a trailer, the use of 91 AKI or higher grade unleaded gasoline is required.

! 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. Do not be concerned if your vehicle sometimes knocks lightly when you drive up a hill or when you accelerate. See your dealer or a qualified service technician if you use a fuel with the specified octane rating and your vehicle knocks heavily or persistently. ! 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 cleaner air

CAUTION

Do not let fuel spill on the exterior surfaces of the vehicle. Fuels con- taining alcohol may cause paint damage, which is not covered under the SUBARU Limited Warranty.

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) 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.

As additional guidance, only use fuels suited for your vehicle as explained in the following. . Fuel should be unleaded and have an octane rating no lower than that specified in this manual. . Methanol (methyl or wood alcohol) is
