Trunk Convenience Net (If Equipped) Your vehicle may have a convenience net. You'll see it on 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 isn't for larger, heavier loads. Store thosein the trunk as far forward as you can. You can unhook the net so that it will lie flat when you're not using it. NOTICE: Don't put papers and other things that burn into your ashtrays. If you do, cigarettes or other smoking materials could set them on fire, causing damage. To use the lighter, just push it in all the way and let go. When it's ready, it will pop back by itself. Ashtrays and Lighter The center front ashtray is located on the instrument panel, just below the comfort controls. To remove the ashtray, open the lid and lift it out. The rear ashtray is located within a small door at the back of your vehicle's front seat armrest. Push on the right side of the door. The ashtray will then rotate to the right for usage. You can only access the ashtray by pushing on the door's right side. To remove the ashtray, push down on the snuffer located in the middle of the ashtray and lift it out. NOTICE: Don't hold a cigarette lighter in with your hand while it is heating. If you do, it won't be able to it's back away from the heating element when ready. That can make it overheat, damaging the lighter and the heating element.
