Console features
The console has a power outlet/cigar lighter, an ash tray with a coin holder, a cupholder (if equipped), and the passenger airbag light. In addition, there are switches to control the heated seats (if equipped), rear spoiler, elec- tronic stability program (ESP), hazard flashers, central locking, rear defroster and towing alarm. Operating controls for the heating and air conditioning systems, power windows, power mirrors, convertible top switch (if equipped), and the automatic transmission program mode selector switch (if equipped) are also located in the console.
Storage Compartments (If Equipped)
There is a storage compartment in the console. To open the storage compartment, lift the lid with the finger depressions on either side. To close, lower the lid until the lock engages.
On some models, a cargo net for storage is located in the footwell area on the passenger side.
Additionally, storage pockets are located on the wall behind each seat and on each door panel. A storage pouch is located on the rear wall between the seats, and the driver’s sunvisor has a document strap.
WARNING! Keep compartment lids closed. This will help to prevent stored objects from being thrown about and injuring vehicle occupants during an accident.
Ashtray
Lightly touch the bottom of the ashtray cover. The ashtray will open automatically. To remove the ashtray insert, pull the ashtray past the detent. Hold both sides of the insert, and pull up. To install the ashtray, place it in the frame and push down to engage.
WARNING! Remove the ashtray only with the vehicle stopped and the ignition off. Otherwise, the vehicle might move unexpectedly as a result of unintended contact with the shift lever.
Coin Holder
With the ashtray open, folding down the cover plate reveals the coin holder, which can accommodate nine coins in various sizes up to a U.S. quarter. The coin slots are shaped to retain the coins, and the cover plate ensures that the coins remain in the coin holder.
Power Outlet/Cigar Lighter
The dual-purpose power outlet is located in the console, next to the passenger airbag off warning light. The power outlet can accommodate a lighter or electrical accessories up to a maximum of 15 amps. The outlet is protected by a 15 amp fuse, located behind the fuse cover on the left end of the instrument panel.
The lighter will operate only when the ignition switch is in the ON/ACC position. It heats up when pushed in and pops out automatically when ready for use. To preserve the heating element, do not hold the lighter in the heating position.
Glove Compartment
To lock the glove compartment, turn the key to the right and remove. To unlock, turn the key to the left and remove. Pull on the handle to open the glove compartment.
CUPHOLDER (If Equipped)
The cupholder is located in the console. To open the cupholder, gently press downward on the front edge of the top panel, and then release. The cupholder will open automatically.
When the cupholder is no longer needed, push forward on the top edge of the door and rotate it down into the console until it engages. The cupholder is designed to hold beverage containers up to 20 oz. (1 L).
CAUTION! Only use containers that fit into the cupholder. Overfilled containers could spill during vehicle maneuvers.
