Caution: If any removable convenience item is not secured properly, it can move around in a collision or sudden stop. People in the vehicle could be injured. Be sure to secure any such item properly.

Your vehicle may have a convenience center. It provides extra storage space for the rear of the vehicle.

To open the convenience center, pull up on the door latch located on the front of the cover. The convenience center cover has two automatic prop rods to hold it up and in place.

To close the convenience center cover, you must pull one of the prop rod linkages toward you while holding onto the door latch and lower the convenience center cover to close it.

Replacing the Convenience Center
