yellowblue Ashtray and Cigarette Lighter The ashtray and cigarette lighter are located in the middle section of the instrument panel, below the switchbank. Pull out the drawer to use the ashtray. To remove the ashtray for cleaning, grasp the edge of the ashtray with your fingertips and pull up and out, in a rocking motion. To use the lighter, push it in all the way and let go. When it's ready, it will pop back by itself. NOTICE: After removing the tiedowns or other equipment, be sure to reinstall the piece of bumper strip that was cut. 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. 2-79
