Convex Outside Mirror
Your passenger's side mirror is convex. A convex
mirror's surface is curved so you can see more from the
driver's seat.
Storage Compartments
Center Console Storage Area
A convex mirror can make things (like other
vehicles) look farther away than they really are.
If you cut too sharply into the right lane, you
could hit a vehicle on your right. Check your
inside mirror or glance over your shoulder before
changing lanes.
To open the center console, pull the lift lever up and the
lid back.
To close the center console, push the lid down until
it clicks.
Center Console Cupholders
Open the center console lid all the way to uncover the
front and rear cupholders. There is also a cupholder at
the front of the console.
