| Use only the cup holders provided |
|
Just a word of warning to anyone who does not use the cup holders on the vehicle and just puts it on the top of the dash,
DO NOT DO IT
If any drink is spilt from the top of the dashj into the heater the car will not start and you risk having to buy a new heater, Damage to the radio will also probably occur,
If you want to know why post back and i will tell you,
I have seen a vehicle this has happened to and all i remember was the person who owned the car getting i told you so off the wife ( ie don't put it up there )
Most expensive cup of tea that person bought

There one in each side door, two in the front centre console, two below the fridge/cubby box for the middle row, two in the boot and an optional (I think) for the passenger in the front below the left hand vent! Happiness is a vectored thrust! (As seen on a Harrier GR3)

There are 5 in the front (1 in each door, two in the centre console and one push on of the passanger side of the dash)
4 in the second row (1 in each door and two in the back of the box between the front seats)
Then 2 on the third row at the side.

not everyone gets the passenger push one in the dash
and anyway, you're not safe using the cup holders - my EPB switch has never been right since I filled it full of Lemon Fanta climbing the steep Bamford Lane in 2006 Steve N | 2006 TDV6 S Auto in Buckingham Blue | Member of the top ten club | Am I online?

Know where you coming from SN.
I'm not sure what bottles/cans the designers used when measuring the sizes for the cup holders but certainly none from the shops around here. All the cup holders are way too big to be of real use.
Best cup holders I had were in my Chrysler Voyager that had spring loaded flaps on them to adjust to the size of bottle/can/cup and hold them nice and steady.

The immobiliser signal goes through the heater control panel on the wiring called the CAN Bus, if this fails the vehicle will not start,
I have seen this happen
