GENERAL DESCRIPTIONAND SYSTEM OPERATION

Interior Trim Panels

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 ventilation 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 two 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 airbag system is located under the front part of the console.

Floor Carpet

The molded one-piece floor carpet goes over both the front and the rear floor pans.
