Auxiliary Power Connection (Power Drop) Your vehicle is equipped with an auxiliary power connection. This feature provides power, ground and accessory wires which can be accessed to add aftermarket electrical equipment to your vehicle. It is located on the passenger's side of the vehicle, under the glove box, and is labeled with a wire function and fuse rating. When adding electrical equipment, be sure to follow the proper installation instructions included with the equipment. For information on accessing the connection and electrical hookup, please refer to your service manual. To order a service manual, see Service Publications Ordering Information on page 7-9. Ashtrays and Cigarette Lighter The center front ashtray is located just below the instrument panel's comfort controls at the front of the console, behind the front compartment storage door. To remove the ashtray, open the storage door. Then open the small black door, lift up on the ashtray and pull it out. 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. Nofice: Adding some electrical equipment to your vehicle can damageit or keep other things from working as they should. This wouldn't be covered by your warranty. Check with your dealer before adding electrical equipment, and never use anything that exceeds the amperage rating. To use the lighter, just push it in all the way and let go. When it's ready, it will pop back out by itself. 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 elementwhen it's ready. That can make it overheat, damaging the lighter and the heatingelement. 3-1 a
