Center Console Storage Your vehicle has a console compartment between the bucket seats. The console has both an upper and lower storage bin accessed by lifting up on the latches located at the front of the console lid. The console may have an accessory power outlet inside. See Accessory Power Outlet(s) on page 3-24. The rear of the console also has a cupholder that swings down for the rear seat passengers to use. Luggage Carrier If your vehicle has a luggage carrier, you can load things on top of your vehicle. The luggage carrier has siderails attached to the roof and crossrails, if equipped, which can be moved back and forth to help secure cargo. To adjust, turn the knob located at each end of the crossrail counterclockwise until the crossrail can move freely. To secure the crossrail, turn the knob located at each end of the crossrail clockwise until tightened. 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 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 4-35. Assist Handles Your vehicle is equipped with assist handles to be used when getting out of the vehicle.
