To use as an armrest:

1. Tip the console top forward from its vertical position.

2. Push the armrest part of the console top forward to the desired position. Adjust the position of the armrest to suit your driving position. Make sure the armrest is securely retained.
To return the console top to the vertical position, raise the console top.

Do not step or sit on the armrest, and do not place heavy objects on it.
The armrest could break, and you could get hurt.
