If you dim your interior lights to the lowest setting, the cupholder will automatically shutoff. This prevents the cupholder from being on when the indicator light may be too dim to see. To use your cupholder, adjust the interior lights to a brighter setting. To use the rear cupholders, pull down on the door located on the back of the console. Your rear seat armrest, if equipped, may also contain cupholders. The console may be equipped with an accessory power outlet inside. See Accessory Power Outlet(s) on page 3-22. The rear of the console also has a cupholder that swings down for the rear seat passengers to use. Luggage Carrier You can load things on top of your vehicle if it has this feature. The luggage carrier has slats and 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. Don't exceed the maximum vehicle capacity when loading your vehicle. For more information on vehicle capacity and loading, see Loading Your Vehicle on page 4-46. Instrument Panel Storage Area Your vehicle may have a closed storage area on the instrument panel above the compact disc changer. You can open the storage area by pressing in the bottom of the lid and the lid will automatically raise up. Press down on the lid to close the storage area. Center Console Storage Area Your vehicle has a console compartment between the bucket seats. To open it, press the button on the side of the console and swing the console lid open. 2-43
