Ashtrays And Cigarette Lighter - Pontiac 2005 GTO Owner's Manual

Certain electrical accessories may not be compatible
with the accessory power outlet and could result
in blown vehicle or adapter fuses. If you experience a
problem, see your dealer for additional information
on accessory power outlets.
Notice: Adding any electrical equipment to your
vehicle may damage it or keep other components
from working as they should. The repairs would not
be covered by your warranty. Check with your
dealer before adding electrical equipment.
When adding electrical equipment, be sure to follow the
proper installation instructions included with the
electrical equipment you install.
Notice: Improper use of the power outlet can cause
damage not covered by your warranty. Do not
hang any type of accessory or accessory bracket
from the plug because the power outlets are
designed for accessory power plugs only.

Ashtrays and Cigarette Lighter

Notice: If you put papers, pins, or other flammable
items in the ashtray, hot cigarettes or other

Ashtray
If your vehicle has this accessory, the front ashtray is
located in the center of the instrument panel under
the audio controls. The rear ashtray is located at the rear
of the center console. To use the ashtray, push the
cover inwards and the ashtray will slide open.
To empty the ashtray, open it and grip it at the
depressions located on each side. Then pull the
ashtray out.
Cigarette Lighter
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.
If your vehicle has this accessory, the cigarette lighter is
located inside the ashtray and can be operated
whenever the ignition is turned on.
Press the lighter all the way in and release it. It will pop
back out once the element is ready for use.
The cigarette lighter should not be used as an accessory
power outlet. Use the accessory power outlet provided
in the center console.
