Instructions
- Assess Your Console: Look at your car’s center console to identify flexible zones, angled slots, and cup holder gaps.
- Strategically Place Your Beverages: Place a large travel mug and a smaller water bottle with the gap between them to keep items upright and prevent leaning.
- Utilize Secondary Storage Wisely: Use the gap to temporarily hold small, flat items like a parking pass, folded map, or coins, being careful not to drop small items.
- Adjust for Your Comfort: Adjust your seat and mirrors before starting the engine to ensure beverages are within easy, strain-free reach.

Notes
Do not use the gap to hold a phone, as it is not designed to grip securely and the device may fly into the footwell during sudden stops. Always ensure hot beverage lids are securely fastened.
