If your vehicle is equipped with the column shift and a bench seat, it has a center console in the center front seating position. The center console has similar features as the full console. To open the storage compartment, raise the armrest and pull the strap on the seat up and toward the front of the vehicle. The rear seat area is provided with dual cupholders. CELL PHONE WARNING Use of cell phones and other devices by driver: Do not operate hand held communication equipment while operating the vehicle as this may lead to an accident caused by distraction and result in personal injury. CELL PHONE HANDS-FREE SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED) The Cellport 3000-VR (voice recognition) allows for hands-free voice activated communication while in your vehicle. With your cell phone docked in the pocket adapter, located on the center console, incoming calls will ring through the audio system speakers. The radio will display the word "CALL" when you are on the phone. With this system, you will hear and control the volume of the person you are talking to through your car's audio system. Your voice is picked up through the microphone mounted above the rear view mirror allowing you to talk on the phone. The volume setting in your phone will effect the volume through the audio system. You may have to reset the volume of your phone when using the Cellport 3000-VR. 77
