6-5. 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. Al-
ways put the cap on the acces-
sory power outlet when it is not in
use.
.
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 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 appli-
ance by connecting it to an outlet.
The maximum power rating of an appli-
ance that can be connected is 120 W.

北米Model "A8240BE-B" EDITED: 2018/ 7/ 5
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 wat-
tage for each outlet.
.
When using appliances con-
nected to two outlets simulta-
neously, the total power con-
sumed by them must not exceed
120 W. Overloading the acces-
sory power outlet can cause a
short circuit. Do not use double
adapters or more than one elec-
trical 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 open-
ing.
&
Use with the cigarette lighter
(dealer option)
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 da-
mage 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 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.
.
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 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.
6-6. USB power supply
CAUTION
.
The specification of a USB term-
inal that can be used is the A-
type. If a different specification of
terminal is connected, power
supply or charging may not be
possible, or the device may mal-
function.
.
There is no guarantee when a
connected device malfunctions

may result in injury to you by
falling over, or a malfunction of
the connected device.
.
If a device is connected for a long
time when the engine is not
running, it may cause a dis-
charged battery. Even when the
engine is running, we recom-
mend that you do not connect a
device for an unnecessarily long
time.
.
Do not connect a malfunctioning
device. Doing so may cause
smoke and fire.

7-1. Fuel
CAUTION
.
Use of a fuel which is low in
quality or use of an inappropriate
fuel additive may cause damage
to the engine and/or fuel system.
.
Some gas stations, particularly
those in high altitude areas, offer
fuels posted as regular octane
gasoline with an octane rating
below 87 AKI (90 RON). Use of
those fuels is not recommended.
&
Fuel requirements
The engine is designed to operate using
unleaded gasoline with an octane rating
of 87 AKI (90 RON) or higher.
!
Mexico only
Add a bottle of genuine SUBARU fuel
additive to the fuel every 9,000 miles
(15,000 km). Refer to an authorized
SUBARU dealer for details.
!
Fuel octane rating
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. Contact your
SUBARU dealer if you use a fuel with the
specified octane rating and your vehicle
knocks heavily or persistently.
!
RON
This octane rating is the Research Octane
Number.
!
AKI
This octane rating is the average of the
Research Octane and Motor Octane num-
bers and is commonly referred to as the
Anti Knock Index (AKI).
!
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.
!
Reformulated gasoline
SUBARU supports the use of reformulated
gasoline when available. Reformulated
gasoline has been blended to burn more
cleanly and reduce vehicle emissions.
!
MMT
Some gasoline contains an octane-enhan-
cing additive called MMT (Methylcyclo-
pentadienyl 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, return to your authorized
SUBARU dealer for service. If it is deter-
mined that the condition is caused by the
type of fuel used, repairs may not be
covered by your warranty.
!
Gasoline for cleaner air
Your use of gasoline with detergent ad-
ditives 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 ethanol
(ethyl or grain alcohol) may be used in your
vehicle, but should contain no more than
10% ethanol for the proper operation of
your SUBARU.
Do not use any gasoline that contains
more than 10% ethanol, including from any

pump labeled, E15, E30, E50 or E85
(which are only some examples of fuel
containing more than 10% ethanol).
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 op-
erators 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 description.
.
Fuel should be unleaded and have an
octane rating no lower than that specified
in this instruction.
.
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 it 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
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.

tic electricity that may be present on
your body. If your body is carrying
an electrostatic charge, there is a
possibility that an electric spark
could ignite the fuel, which could
burn you. To avoid acquiring a new
static electric charge, do not get
back into the vehicle while refueling
is in progress.
