Ashtrays and Cigarette Lighter

Your vehicle may be equipped with a front ashtray
located near the center of the instrument panel. Pull on
the door to open it.
Notice: If you put papers or other flammable items
in the ashtray, hot cigarettes or other smoking
materials could ignite them and possibly damage
your vehicle. Never put flammable items in the
ashtray.
To remove the front ashtray, pull the ashtray toward
you. To replace the ashtray, place the ashtray on
the slides at the side of its location in the instrument
panel. To use the cigarette lighter, push it in all the way,
and let go. When it's ready, it will pop back out by
itself.
Notice: Holding a cigarette lighter in while it is
heating will not allow the lighter to back away from
the heating element when it is hot. Damage from
overheating may occur to the lighter or heating
element, or a fuse could be blown. Do not hold a
cigarette lighter in while it is heating. Do not
use anything other than the cigarette lighter in the
heating element.
