GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND 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. To relieve the pressure, air is released through a pressure relief vent. 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, a cupholder, a storage compartment, and an ashtray for the rear seat occupants.
The sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) for the airbag system and the remote keyless entry module are located under the console.

Floor Carpet

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

Rear Compartment Security Cover

A rear compartment security cover is provided on the hatchback model. The security cover is attached to the hatch and can be easily removed if more cargo space is needed.
