.NOTICE
In some vehicle models, design considerations have made it necessary to have openings in the
glove compartment behind the Owner's Manual slot, for example. Small items may fall through
these openings and get behind the instrument panel. This can cause unusual noises and
damage the vehicle. Never put any small objects in the glove compartment for this reason.

There are 2 cup holders in the rear seat center armrest ⇒ fig. 118. Fold the center armrest down to
use these cup holders.
A cup holder insert ⇒ fig. 119 is factory-installed between the 2 cup holders to provide better retention
for the beverage containers. The insert has fingers to provide additional retention to hold the
beverages upright. The insert can be installed in 2 different height positions. In position (1), (upper
position) the insert provides additional support for taller beverages containers. In position (2), (lower
position) the insert provides normal support. This will help prevent the container from tipping over
when accelerating or turning corners.
.WARNING
Always keep the armrest folded up when the vehicle is moving to reduce the risk of injury.
x Never let anybody, especially children, ride on the rear center armrest or in the center
position on the rear seat when the armrest is folded down. An improper seating position can
