WARNING:
Never drive with the overhead console

CAUTION:
If you park your vehicle outdoors in
direct sunlight or in hot weather, the

So, when parking in such conditions: • Do not leave eyeglasses in the compartment. The heat may distort plastic lenses or frames.
• Do not place flammable items, such as a lighter, in the compartment.
The heat may cause a fire.
NOTE:
An aftermarket garage door opener can be
installed in the front side overhead console
box.
