For 1990-2009 cars only

Pull down the front center tray to reveal the front ashtray, cigarette lighter and accessory power outlet. The front center and rear ashtrays may be removed for cleaning. Hold the sides of the ashtray and then pull the ashtray up and out.

Notice: If papers, pins, or other flammable items are put in the ashtray, hot cigarettes or other smoking materials could ignite them and possibly damage the vehicle. Never put flammable items in the ashtray.

To use a lighter, push the center all the way in and let it go. When it is ready, the center will pop back out by itself. Pull out the entire unit to use it.

Notice: Holding a cigarette lighter in while it is heating does not let the lighter back away from the heating element when it is hot. Damage from overheating can occur to the lighter or heating element, or a fuse could be blown. Do not hold a cigarette lighter in while it is heating.

The cigarette lighter will only operate when the ignition key is in RUN and for 10 minutes after turning the ignition off. If you would like the lighter to operate regardless of ignition position, and for extended periods of time, see "Engine Compartment Fuse Block" under Fuses and Circuit Breakers or see your dealer.
