Front Armrest Storage Area Your vehicle may have a center armrest storage compartment in the front bench seat. To open it, fold down the armrest and press the latch handle located at the front of the armrest. Then, let the cover pop up and swing open. Luggage Carrier You can load things on top of your vehicle if it has this feature. The luggage carrier has siderails attached to the roof and may have crossrails which can be moved back and forth to help secure cargo. Tie the load to the siderails or siderail supports. Notice: Loading cargo on the luggage carrier that weighs more than 200 lbs (91 kg) or hangs over the rear or sides of the vehicle may damage your vehicle. Load cargo so that it rests on the slats as far forward as possible and against the side rails, making sure to fasten it securely. Do not exceed the maximum vehicle capacity when loading your vehicle. For more information on vehicle capacity and loading, see Loading Your Vehicle on page 409. To prevent damage or loss of cargo as you are leaving, check now and then to make sure the luggage and cargo are still securely fastened. Center Console Storage Area Your vehicle may have a console compartment with cupholders between the bucket seats. To open it, press the button and lift the console cover open. The rear of the console has a cupholder that folds down for the rear seat passenger to use. 170
