The console/cooler contains a top tray for storage. Remove the top tray to put items in the cooler. Put the top tray back into the cooler if there is room. The cooler also contains a rubber mat that can hold compact discs, cassette tapes, and it has a coinholder. You can also remove the rubber mat. The cooler can also store up to 12, 12-ounce cans without the top tray and the rubber mat. Once items are removed or added, properly secure the console/cooler, as described earlier. To remove the console/cooler from the vehicle, lift the handle from the driver's side to a fully upright position, and remove it. To replace the console/cooler, place it in its storage area and push the handle down to the driver's side until you hear a click. Move the console/cooler side-to-side to make sure it is locked in place. With this feature, your vehicle has a fully insulated food/beverage console/cooler located between the driver's and front passenger's seats. To properly secure the console/cooler, the handle must be latched down, toward the driver's seat, as indicated on the cooler handle. To open the console/cooler, have the handle fully down toward the passenger's seat. Then lift the lid up. The passenger's seat armrest must be up to be able to open the lid completely.
