The front armrest opens into a storage area. To open it, push the latch at the front center of the armrest. When the latch disengages, pull up on the armrest to open it. Inside you will find storage for cassettes, compact discs and coins.
In front of the storage area is a cupholder. Press and release the cupholder cover to open. Do not try to pull it out. Press the cupholder back to its recessed position when not in use.
