Center Console Storage Area
If your vehicle has this console compartment, squeeze
the front lever while lifting the top to open it.
Your vehicle’s console will be equipped with cupholders
located on the front and rear of the storage
compartment.
The console may also contain one or more of the
following components:
Rear Seat Audio Controls
Rear Seat Accessory Power Outlets
Rear Climate Control
If your vehicle has the center armrest compartment, lift
the cover by pulling up on the latch handle located
underneath the front edge of the armrest. The storage
area includes slots for cassettes or compact discs.
Assist Handles
A handle above each door can be used when getting
out of your vehicle.
Luggage Carrier
{CAUTION:
If you try to carry something on top of your
vehicle that is longer or wider than the luggage
carrier — like paneling, plywood, a mattress
and so forth — the wind can catch it as you
drive along. This can cause you to lose
control. What you are carrying could be
violently torn off, and this could cause you or
other drivers to have a collision, and of course
damage your vehicle. You may be able to carry
something like this inside. But, never carry
something longer or wider than the luggage
carrier on top of your vehicle.
A luggage carrier allows you to load things on top of
your vehicle. The luggage carrier has side rails attached
to the roof, sliding crossrails (if equipped) and places
to use for tying things down. These let you load
some other things on top of your vehicle, as long as
they are not wider or longer than the luggage carrier.

Battery Run-Down Protection
This feature shuts off the dome, courtesy and vanity if
they are left on for more than 20 minutes when the
ignition is off. This will keep your battery from
running down.
If the battery run-down protection shuts off the interior
lamps, it may be necessary to do one of the following to
return to normal operation:
Shut off all lamps and close all doors.
Turn the ignition key to RUN.
This feature will also turn off the parking lamps and
headlamps under most circumstances, if they are left on.
If you would like to turn them back on, turn the exterior
lamps knob.
Accessory Power Outlets
Your vehicle may have accessory power outlets. With
the accessory power outlets, you can plug in auxiliary
electrical equipment such as a cellular telephone or
CB radio.
The rst outlet is located to the right of the cigarette
lighter on the instrument panel. The second outlet
is located on the rear of the center console.Remove the cover from the outlet to use the outlet.
Be sure to put the cover back on when not using the
accessory power outlet.
Certain electrical accessories may not be compatible
with the accessory power outlet and could result
in blown vehicle or adaptor fuses. If you experience a
problem, see your dealer for additional information
on the 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. Do not use equipment
exceeding maximum amperage rating. Check
with your dealer before adding electrical equipment.
When adding electrical equipment, be sure to follow
the proper installation instructions included with
the equipment.
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.
