With the temps beginning its drop in SoFL, I thought I'd give the tires a little breeze. Checked the spare and it was at 46 psi. While waiting for the pump to do its thing, I discovered this little cubby for the first time... it took me more than 4 years to find it... SMH. What do you guys use it for?

I took out the cubby and shoved a tool bag in there with jumper cables. The cover still works in covering it up.

I keep my owners manual in that cubby to free up glove box space.

This is a really good idea! Will move the owners manual there now.

I have the owner's manual in the little net in the trunk and in the cubby I have my tire inflator, voltmeter and pressure gauge.

A little belated, but I hooked up Techstream to my car and found, yes, I can turn off the tilt/scope function of my steering column, but couldn't find how to disable the independent drives. I'll look into that one.

I put some sticky-back cable minders in the cup holder and beside the hand rest of the remote touch to keep my phone dock power cord out of the way of my giant coffee cups when I get in the car half asleep.

Oh, and next fuel tank I'm going to burn the whole tank in "snow" mode and see if that affects my MPG.

Replaced the plugs on my 2015 with 60k miles. We’ve had since 20k, so I assume the originals.

can’t really tell a difference, and I’m not sure if the plugs look like they needed to be replaced, but figured I’d have some free time I’d get it done. Dealer quoted $600 at my last oil change, bought Denso Iridium plugs for $98 after discounts.

@RXGS - Those spark plugs look perfect and could have easily gone another 150k - 180k miles with no degradation in performance or fuel mileage. I'm not the least bit surprised you can't tell a difference....

That may be part of the maintenance schedule in the owner's manual

Yes, at 60k and 120k. Required under the terms of the Emission Control Warranty.
