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 shown in the following list. Do

not use an appliance which ex-

ceeds the indicated wattage for

each outlet.
– The two outlets in the center

console: 120W or less (When

using appliances connected

to two outlets simultaneously,

the total power consumed by

them must not exceed 120W.)

– The two outlets in the rear

cabin: 120W or less (When

using appliances connected

to two 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 dual adapters

or more than one electrical appli-

ance.

. 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.

NOTE

It is possible, when using the outlet in

the center console (lower compart-

ment) with the lid closed, to pass the

electrical appliance’s cord through a

gap between the center console (lower

compartment) and the lid. It is also

possible to pass the cord through a

groove in the lid and up to the center

console (upper compartment).

Coat hook

A coat hook is attached to each hand grip

for the outboard second-row passenger’s

seats.

WARNING

Do not hang coat hangers or other

hard or pointed objects on the coat

hooks. If such items were hanging

on the coat hooks during deploy-

ment of the SRS curtain airbags,

they could cause serious injuries by

coming off the coat hooks and being

thrown through the cabin or by

preventing correct airbag deploy-

ment. Before hanging clothing on

the coat hooks, make sure there are

no pointed objects in the pockets.

Hang clothing directly on the coat

hooks without using hangers.

CAUTION

Never hang anything on the coat

hook that might obstruct the driver’s

view or that could cause injury in

sudden stops or in a collision. And

do not hang items on the coat hook

that weigh 11 lbs (5 kg) or more.

Shopping bag hook

CAUTION

Do not hang items on the shopping

bag hook that weigh 11 lbs (5 kg) or

more.

A shopping bag hook is attached to each

side of the cargo area.

Floor mat

A retaining pin is located on the driver’s

side of the vehicle next to the fuel filler

door release. Fit the grommet in the carpet

onto the pin to prevent the carpet from

moving.

CAUTION

If the floor mat slips forward and

interferes with the movement of the

pedals during driving, it could cause

an accident. Observe the following

precautions to prevent the floor mat

from slipping forward.
. Be sure to use a genuine

SUBARU floor mat designed with

grommets in the correct loca-

tions.

. Make sure that the driver’s floor

mat is placed back in its proper

Rear view camera (if

equipped)

A rear view camera is attached to the rear

gate. When the ignition switch is “ON” and

the select lever is set to “R”, the rear view

camera automatically displays the rear

view image behind the vehicle on the

navigation monitor or on the inside mirror.

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

Interior equipment

Interior equipment

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 in accident, fire or

electric shock.

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.

. If mud or snow sticks to or is

frozen on the camera, you must

be very careful removing it.

Otherwise, damage done 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

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

monitor screen may be adversely af-

fected.
. Strong light shined on the camera

lens may develop white light stripes

around the light source. This is not a

malfunction.
. Under the fluorescent light, the dis-

play 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 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 select lever to “R”.

NOTE

. The image of the rear view camera

has priority over other screen displays.
. 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).

& Viewing range on the screen
