Description
DESCRIPTION
INSTRUMENT PANEL MOUNTED
An instrument panel mounted cigar lighter/power outlet receptacle is optional equipment on this model. On models equipped with the optional Smoker's
Package, the cigar lighter knob and heating element are included. On models without the Smoker's Package, the cigar lighter receptacle is equipped with
a snap fit plastic cap and is treated as an auxiliary power outlet. The cigar lighter receptacle is installed in the instrument panel accessory switch bezel,
which is located near the bottom of the instrument panel center stack area, below the radio. The cigar lighter base is secured by a snap fit within the
center lower bezel. This power outlet has a constant 12 volt battery feed.
The cigar lighter receptacle is serviced with the accessory switch bezel and if defective, the entire switch bezel must be replaced. The plastic cap and the
knob and heating element unit are available for service replacement. These components cannot be repaired and, if faulty or damaged, they must be
replaced.
