Center Console Storage Your vehicle may have an upper and lower center console storage area with cupholders. Luggage Carrier The vehicle may have a luggage carrier that can be used to load things on top of the vehicle. The luggage carrier has siderails attached to the roof. It may also 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 4-36. To access the upper storage area, pull lever (A) up. To access the lower storage area, raise the upper storage bin, then pull lever (B) up. Use the key to lock and unlock the lower storage area. To prevent damage or loss of cargo while you are driving, check to make sure the luggage and cargo are still securely fastened. 2-79
