Ashtrays and Cigarette Lighter The center front ashtray is located below the instrument panel comfort controls. To remove the ashtray, open the storage door. Then open the ashtray lid, lift up and pull it out. Notice: Holding a cigarette lighter in while it is heating will not allow the lighter to back away from the heating element when it is hot. Damage from overheating may occur to the lighter or heating element, or a fuse could be blown. Do not hold a cigarette lighter in while it is heating. Push the lighter to use it. When the heating element is hot, the lighter will pop back out by itself. Notice: If you put papers or other flammable items in the ashtray, hot cigarettes or other smoking materials could ignite them and possibly damage your vehicle. Never put flammable items in the ashtray. Climate Controls Dual Climate Control System Your vehicle may have this climate control system.
