Center Console Storage Area
Your vehicle has a center console armrest
with storage area. Use the top lever on the

additional storage area underneath the
center console. To access, use the bottom
lever and pull the console up.
Assist Handles
There are assist handles with garment
hooks located above the rear passenger

Luggage Carrier
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 five posi-
tions along the straight section of the side
rail.

Press the levers down until the locking
mechanisms fully engage to the side rail.
Make sure each lever is in the down posi-
tion. The crossrail will not slide when prop-
erly engaged.
WARNING
If you try to carry something on top
of your vehicle that is longer or wider
than the luggage carrier – like panel-
ing, 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.
