Ashtray in the rear passenger compartment.
The ashtrays are located in the side linings in the
passenger compartment.
ELECTRICAL OUTLETThe electrical outlet is located on the
lower right in the center of the
dashboard.
NOTE: Maximum capacity: 180 VACAUTION!
 Many accessories that can be plugged in draw
power from the vehicle’s battery, even when not
in use (i.e. cellular phones, etc.). Eventually, if
plugged in long enough, the vehicle’s battery
will discharge sufficiently to degrade battery life
and/or prevent engine starting.
 Accessories that draw higher power (i.e., coolers,
vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.), will degrade the
battery even more quickly. Only use these
intermittently and with greater caution. After the use of high power draw accessories, or
long periods of the vehicle not being started (with
accessories still plugged in), the vehicle must be
driven a sufficient length of time to allow the
alternator to recharge the vehicle’s battery.
