Instrument Panel:

The instrument panel assembly houses the main instrument cluster, passenger air bag module, glovebox, and air distribution registers, all of which can be readily removed without disturbing the instrument panel. The instrument panel wiring harness is located behind the instrument panel assembly to facilitate easy installation in vehicle. The instrument panel must be removed from the vehicle to gain access to the wiring harness.

Console
The floor console is located between the front seats and, depending upon trim level, consists of the ashtray, cigar lighter and armrest. The center section of the console forms a deep stowage box with a secondary cupholder. The optional telephone is incorporated within the armrest. In both cases the center console utilizes a rear hinged lid which is padded to form a central arm rest. A dynamic stability control 'ON/OFF' selector switch, if fitted, is situated immediately in front of the stowage box. Situated in the rear of the center console is a rear passenger ashtray.

The roof console is located between the front sun visors and, depending upon vehicle options, consists of the front overhead courtesy light, two reading/map lights, remote convenience buttons, sunroof switch, emergency messaging buttons and a microphone.
