Storage Compartments Glove Box To open, pull the handle to the left and pull the glove box door down until it stops and is fully open. Center Console Cupholder The console provides space for holding a cup or soft drink container. The cupholder is located at the rear of the shift lever. Instrument Panel Cupholder The instrument panel cupholder is located to the left of the steering wheel. To use it, pull it out until the rubber insert is revealed. Rear Seat Cupholders Pull down the door on the rear of the center console to use the rear seat cupholders. Convenience Net (If Equipped) Your vehicle may have a convenience net. You'll see it just inside the back wall of the trunk. Put small loads, like grocery bags, behind 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 them 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. Center Console Storage Area The center console has two separate storage areas. The upper compartment, which is also the armrest, can be used to store maps, gloves, etc. To open, pull up on the driver's side of the lid. The lower area can be used to store cassette tapes or compact discs. To open the lower compartment, pull up on the armrest. 2-47
