2-54 Rear Storage Armrest (If Equipped)
Your vehicle may be equipped with a rear seat armrest
which includes an open storage compartment and a dual
cupholder that unfolds for use. To open, lift the front
edge. (This feature is available on vehicles with leather
interiors only.)
Convenience Net
The convenience net is located inside the back wall of
the trunk. Put small loads, like grocery bags, behind the
net. It can help keep them from falling over during sharp
turns or quick starts and stops.
The net is not for larger, heavier loads. Store them in the
trunk as far forward as you can. When not using the net,
hook the net to the tabs securing it to the sill plate.
Ashtrays and Cigarette Lighter
NOTICE:
Don't put papers or other flammable items
into your ashtrays. Hot cigarettes or other
smoking materials could ignite them, causing a
damaging fire.
Front Ashtray
With the full center console (available on DeVille
Concours only), the ashtray is located below the climate
control system. To open, press on the lower edge of the
cover. To clean the ashtray, lift it out by gripping the
sides. For vehicles without the center console, pull the
tray out to reveal the ashtray. The tray is located beneath
the radio. To clean this ashtray, lift it out by pulling on
the snuffer.

3-12 Ventilation System
Your vehicle's flow-through ventilation system supplies
outside air into the vehicle when it is moving. Outside
air will also enter the vehicle when the heater or the air
conditioning fan is running.
The front outlets are located in the center and at each
side of the instrument panel. You can adjust the
direction of airflow by moving the center control levers
or you can stop the airflow by moving the lever located
on each side of the outlets downward.
The direction of airflow to the rear seats can be adjusted
if you have the optional full console (DeVille Concours
only). Move the fan lever to adjust the blower
speed from low to high. Move the vent lever to direct
the airflow.
