Front Center Console (If Equipped)
Your Park Avenue may have a center console that opens
to two storage compartments. This console has two
cupholders that can be flipped forward for use. The
console can be opened to a writing surface which is built
into the top of the lid. This writing surface can be
flipped forward for use. You will also find two auxiliary
power outlets which are located inside the storage
compartment and on the lower front edge of the console.
These outlets can be used
for accessories requiring
electrical power, such as a cellular phone or fax
machine. See “Auxiliary Power Outlets” in the Index.
Rear Storage Armrest
Your vehicle’s rear seat armrest may contain two
cupholders.
To access the cupholders, pull the armrest
down from the rear seat back.
Some models may also include a storage area inside the
armrest. To open it, pull up on the lever at the front edge
of the armrest.

To block out glare, swing down the visors. The larger
sun visor can be removed from the center mount and
moved to the side, while the auxiliary sun visor remains
to block glare from the front.
Auxiliary Power Outlets
Your vehicle may have one or two power outlets
depending on the type of front seat you have. If your
front seat has a fold-down armrest, the power outlet is
located in the center of the front seat below the cushion.
If your vehicle has front bucket seats with a center
console, you will find one outlet inside the storage
compartment and the other on the lower front edge
of the console.
These power outlets can be used to plug in electrical
equipment such as a cellular telephone or
CB radio.
Follow the proper installation instructions that are
included with the equipment you install.
Garment Hooks
For your convenience, you will find a two-hanger
capacity garment hook above each rear
door near the
reading lamps.
