Storage Compartments Glove Box Use the door key to lock and unlock the glove box. To open, lift the latch. Trunk Convenience Net (If Equipped) Your vehicle may have a convenience net. You'll see it on the back wall of the trunk. Put small loads, like grocery bags, behind or inside the net. It can help keep them from falling over during sharp turns or quick starts and stops. The net isn't for larger, heavier loads. Store those in the trunk as far forward as you can. You can unhook the net so that it will lie flat when you're not using it. Front Armrest (If Equipped) If your vehicle has the split bench front seat, there is an armrest located in the center of the seat. Dual cupholders are located in front of the armrest. Center Console (If Equipped) The console has cupholders, a cassette tape storage area and a coinholder. To open the console's storage area, pull up on the latch located in the front of the console lid. Ashtrays and Lighter The front ashtray may be on the instrument panel or on the console. To remove the instrument panel ashtray, open it, push down on the locking tab and pull out the ashtray. To remove the console ashtray, open the ashtray door, lift up on the ashtray and pull it out. If your vehicle is equipped with a center console, a rear ashtray is located behind a small door at the rear of the console. Push on the right side of the door. The ashtray will then turn to the right for usage. You can only access the ashtray by pushing on the door's right side. Rear Seat Armrest and Cupholder (If Equipped) If your vehicle has the split folding rear seat, there will be two cupholders in the rear seat armrest. To access them, pull down on the cloth strap located toward the top of your center back seat cushion. You will then have access to the dual cupholders. 2-61
