A front overhead console is standard factory-installed equipment on this model. All overhead consoles are equipped with two reading and courtesy lamps (2). On vehicles equipped with a power sunroof, the overhead console will contain a three button switch (1) directly between the two reading and courtesy lamps. The front overhead console will contain a two button switch (5) on vehicles equipped with rear power sliding glass, and a three button HomeLink(R) transceiver switch (4) - if equipped. On vehicles equipped with automatic climate control an infrared temperature sensor is located between the two switch banks.

NOTE: The overhead console reading lamp switches, bulb holders and wiring harness are serviced only as a unit and are not available individually for service.

- Front map/reading lamps (2)
- HomeLink(R) transceiver (3) - if equipped

The overhead console is mounted with two snap clips into a molded plastic retainer bracket located above the headliner to provide secure overhead console attachment. The compass module is accessed by removing the overhead console from the bracket and pulling it away from the headliner. The individual components of the compass module are not serviced separately and if damaged or inoperative, must be replaced as a unit.
