Ah yes. I learned that about the hatch when I installed a new radio last week. Good thinking storing them under the seat. Thanks.

The duffle bag is a good way to go as 6464 mentioned, but keep this in mind: if you keep the cables in the trunk and the battery were completely dead, the trunk switch will not operate for you to open the hatch to get the jumper cables.  (Although the battery is located in the trunk floor, you have jumper terminals in the engine compartment).  You 'can' crawl over the back seats to get them...

Maybe the best place is to store the jumper cables under the front seats in a duffle bag?

Good suggestions. Though I was hoping you'd tell me about a secret hidden compartment I hadn't found yet.

Thanks

Save space and use one of the newer tiny booster packs.  I don't boost people anymore with cables ....too much risk

I use a small duffel style bag. Makes a neat storage bag and can be tossed any where.
