DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


INTERIOR TRIM PANEL DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

The interior trim panels are molded plastic and fasten with screws or plastic clips.

Pressure Relief Vent

When all the windows are closed and the ventilations system is ON, the addition of outside air to the interior of
the vehicle causes a positive pressure within the vehicle. In order to relieve the pressure, air is released through
2 pressure relief vents. The pressure relief vents are located at the rear quarter of the vehicle, behind the bumper
fascia.

Floor Console

The floor console fits over the tunnel in the floor of the vehicle and extends from under the center of the
instrument panel to the rear seat area. The front portion of the console contains the cigar lighter and the
transaxle shift lever. The rear portion of the console contains the parking brake lever, the power window
switches, if equipped, and a cupholder.

The sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) for the air bag system is located under the front part of the console.
