versions of affected vehicle components have been
constructed as mirror-image of the LHD versions.
While most of the illustrations used in this group

service procedures outlined can generally be
applied to either version. Exceptions to this rule
have been clearly identified as LHD or RHD, if a

outside ambient temperature thermometer. The overhead
console also houses two front-mounted and two
rear-mounted reading and courtesy lamps, a garage
door opener storage bin, and a sunglasses storage
bin.
On models equipped with the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) option, the RKE receiver is also located
within the overhead console housing. Refer to Group
8P - Power Lock Systems for more information on
this feature.
