Cupholders and ashtray

Cupholders

Two cupholders are located in the front of the
center console; another is in the rear at the back
of the center console.

Use lightweight, nonbreakable containers
and do not transport hot beverages.

Otherwise, there is an increased risk of injury
in the event of an accident.

Do not push unsuitable containers forcibly
into the cupholder. Otherwise, you may

damage it.

Ashtray

The ashtray is located in one of the cupholders in
the center console.

Emptying

Remove the entire ashtray.

Lighter

With the engine running or the ignition switched
on, press in the cigarette lighter.
The lighter can be pulled out as soon as it pops
back out.

Hold or touch the hot cigarette lighter by
the knob only. Holding or touching it in

other areas could result in burns.
When leaving the car, always remove the key so
that children cannot operate the cigarette
lighter and burn themselves.
