Pressing the button once unlocks the driver's door. Pressing it again unlocks all the doors. Holding the button down for more than one second rolls down the windows. If you release the switch at any time, it will stop the windows. Also, the key cylinder on the driver's door performs the same functions, both the locks and the windows. Plus, you can close all the windows by turning the key in the opposite direction. For LX and EX models, the remote-entry key fob is now built right into the key.
In addition to two built-in beverage holders, the lid for the storage compartment serves as a handy armrest, and it can extend forward over three inches to accommodate drivers of different statures.

The upper section features a coin holder and can hold a mobile phone, while the lower section has a 12-volt outlet and special hooks to hold the phone's power cord.

A driver's seat with 2-way power height-adjustment is standard on 4-cylinder EX models.
