Ashtray(s) and Cigarette Lighter The vehicle may have a removable ashtray and cigarette lighter. The cigarette lighter may be located under the climate control system. The removable ashtray can be placed into the front console cupholder. 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 the cigarette lighter, push it in all the way, and let go. When the heating element is ready, it will pop back out by itself. 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. Do not use equipment exceeding maximum amperage rating of 20 amperes. Climate Controls Climate Control System With this system the heating, cooling and ventilation can be controlled. For vehicles with the remote start feature and it is activated, the climate control system automatically cools the vehicle if the temperature is greater than 90°F (32°C) and heats the vehicle if the temperature is below 37°F (3°C). If the temperature is between 37°F (3°C) and 90°F (32°C), the last control setting selected when the engine was running will be used. Normal operation and the last setting of the climate control system will return after the key is turned to the ON/RUN position. 3-21
