2-10 Trunk Lock Release
To use this feature, your
vehicle must be in
PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N)
and the VALET lockout
button must be in the
OFF position. Press the
TRUNK button, located
above the radio on the Driver
Information Center (DIC), to
open the trunk.
You can also press the trunk button on the
remote keyless entry transmitter to access the
trunk compartment.
Trunk Storage System (Option)
The optional trunk storage system can be used to
organize many different items inside the trunk. The
cover (A) is located on top of the spare tire cover (B).
To install the storage system:
1. Pull the carpeting from the floor of the trunk. Turn
the retainer (center dial) on the compact spare tire
cover counterclockwise to remove it.

2-50 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
The front ashtray is located below the climate control
system. To open, press on the lower edge of the cover.
Rear Ashtray
To use the rear ashtray, lift the lid.
Cigarette Lighter
The cigarette lighter is located near the ashtray. Press it
all the way in and release. It will pop back by itself
when it's ready to light. You may also have a lighter
located at the rear seat air outlet.
Note: Power to the cigarette lighter will shut off
10 minutes after the ignition is turned off. This helps
to prevent battery drainage. For more information, see
ªInadvertent Battery Saverº in the Index.
NOTICE:
Don't hold a cigarette lighter in with your hand
while it is heating. If you do, it won't be able to
back away from the heating element when it's
ready. That can make it overheat, damaging the
lighter and the heating element.

CAUTION:
Gasoline vapor is highly flammable. It burns
violently, and that can cause very bad injuries.
Don't smoke if you're near gasoline or refueling
your vehicle. Keep sparks, flames and smoking
materials away from gasoline.
The fuel door release is
located above the radio on
the Driver Information
Center (DIC) and on the
Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) transmitter.
This button works only when the shift lever is in
PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N) and the VALET lockout
switch is in the OFF position.
An alternate fuel door
release is located inside of
the trunk on the driver's
side. Pull it to release the
fuel door.
While refueling, hang the cap by the tether from the
hook on the filler door.
