Center Console Storage Area Your vehicle has a center console armrest with storage area. Use the lever on the front of the console to open it. There is a removable coinholder and tissue holder inside. The coinholder can be removed by pulling it up from the console. A luggage carrier allows you to load things on top of your vehicle. The luggage carrier has side rails attached to the roof, sliding crossrails (if equipped) and places to use for tying things down. These let you load some things on top of your vehicle, as long as they are not wider or longer than the luggage carrier. The roof rack crossrails lock in any position along the straight section of the side rail. Luggage Carrier {CAUTION: If you try to carry something on top of your vehicle that is longer or wider than the luggage carrier - like paneling, plywood, a mattress and so forth - the wind can catch it as you drive along. This can cause you to lose control. What you are carrying could be violently torn off, and this could cause you or other drivers to have a collision, and of course damage your vehicle. You may be able to carry something like this inside. But, never carry something longer or wider than the luggage carrier on top of your vehicle. Press the levers down until the locking mechanisms fully engage to the side rail. Make sure each lever is in the down position. The crossrail will not slide when properly engaged. 2-35
