Q: How do you use the overhead console?

How do you use the overhead console?

If your car is equipped with an overhead console or storage compartment, you’ll find that it offers you the ability to store away small items out of sight for easy access. It’s designed to hold things about the size of a pair of sunglasses, though, so don’t overload it. Here’s how to open and close the console/compartment:

  • Press the button on the outside edge to open the console/compartment.

  • It will rotate open.

  • Push it closed. Make sure it latches securely.
