Dual Deck Cargo Shelf
If equipped
The dual deck cargo shelf will separate the storage area into two storage areas. On the upper area, you can store small and light items.
You should place heavy items in the lower storage area. You can remove the dual deck cargo shelf and store it on the cargo area floor to make a larger cargo area.
Make sure to use the dual deck cargo shelf fully opened and securely latched.
To remove the dual deck cargo shelf, fold up the rear half of the shelf forward onto the front half, push up on both sides, then pull it toward you.
To store the dual deck cargo shelf, lift up either side of it, then move it as shown above.
Place the dual deck cargo shelf on the far side of the cargo floor, then slide it forward while folding out the upper half of the shelf.
The dual deck cargo shelf can be placed on the floor as shown above.
Reverse this procedure to return the dual deck cargo shelf to the upper position. Make sure the dual deck cargo shelf is latched securely.
Do not use this shelf if the second row seats are folded down.
Objects placed on the shelf could be thrown forward during a crash or sudden stop and hurt someone.
When any of the rear seats are folded down or forward, do not place any objects on the dual deck cargo shelf. Make sure to store the shelf on the cargo area floor. It could be unlatched during a crash.
The maximum load on the dual deck cargo shelf is 20 lbs on U.S. models, and 10kg on Canadian models. This is shown on a label on the driver’s side of the dual deck cargo shelf. To prevent damage to the dual deck cargo shelf, do not exceed the maximum load.
Make sure all items in the cargo area are secured. Loose items can fly forward and cause injury if you have to brake hard (See Carrying Cargo).
On U.S. models
To prevent damage, do not place more than 20 lbs (9 kg) on this shelf.
On Canadian models
To prevent damage, do not place more than 10 kg on this shelf.
Beverage Holders
Be careful when you are using the beverage holders. A spilled liquid that is very hot can scald you or your passengers. Liquid can also spill from the door pocket beverage holders when you open or close the doors. Use only resealable containers in the door pockets.
Spilled liquids can damage the upholstery, carpeting, and electrical components in the interior.
On vehicles with rear seat armrest
The rear seat also has a beverage holder in the center armrest. To use it, pivot the armrest down.

To use the center table, pull up the outside edge of the table until it latches. To store it, pull the lever and lower the table.
Sitting on or getting under the table, or putting heavy objects on the table, may damage or deform it.
Do not put any items on the table while driving. They may fall down or fly around when you go around corners or brake hard.

Sunglasses Holder
To open the sunglasses holder, push then release the raised detent. It will unlatch and swing down. To close it, push it until it latches. Make sure the holder is closed while you are driving.
Some larger styles of sunglasses may not fit in the holder.
You may also store small items in this holder. Make sure they are small enough to let the holder close and latch, and that they are not heavy enough to cause the holder to pop open while driving.

To switch back to the sunglasses holder, close the conversation mirror and then open the sunglasses holder.
Accessory Power Sockets
Your vehicle has two or three accessory power sockets depending on the model.
To use an accessory power socket, the ignition switch must be in the ACCESSORY (I) or ON (II) position.
Each socket is intended to supply power for 12 volt DC accessories that are rated 120 watts or less (10 amps).
None of the sockets will power an automotive type cigarette lighter element.
Make sure to put the socket cover back in place to prevent any small foreign objects from getting into the socket.
