2000 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Owner's Manual - Page 116

Center Console The console has cupholders, a cassette tape storage area and a coinholder. To open the console's storage area, pull up on the latch located in the front of the console lid and pull up. Ashtrays and Lighter The removable front ashtray is located on the console and fits into the cupholder. The ashtray is removable with a cupholder and liner underneath. To remove the ashtray, lift up on the ashtray and liner and pull the ashtray out. The ashtray assembly can be stored until needed. The rear ashtray is located within a small door at the rear of the console. Push on the right side of the door. The ashtray will then turn 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. Rear Seat Cupholder (If Equipped) To access the rear cupholders, pull down on the cloth strap located toward the top of your center back seat cushion. You will then have access to the dual oversized cupholders. 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 those in 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. 2-50
