The center console can be easily scratched; take care in removing the assembly to avoid damage. Begin by disconnecting the negative cable from the battery, then completely raise the parking brake lever. Next, remove the front and rear plugs along with the retaining screws, starting with the front center console screws followed by the rear screws. For manual transaxle models, remove the shift lever knob. Lift the rear portion of the center console up and over the shift lever and parking brake handle to remove it from the vehicle. Installation is the reverse of removal.
