Ashtray and Cigarette Lighter Pull the front ashtray door down to open it. NOTICE: Don't put papers and other things that burn into your ashtray. If you do, cigarettes or other smoking materials could set them on fire, causing damage. To remove the front ashtray, pull the bin upward. To use the lighter, press it in all the way, and let go. When it's ready, it will pop back out by itself. If your vehicle has the center armrest compartment, lift the cover to expose the storage area which includes slots for cassettes or compact discs and a coinholder. Some vehicles may have a storage pocket on the back of the bucket or 60/40 bench seats. NOTICE: 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 overload, damaging the lighter and the heating element. 2-60
