If you receive customer reports in the above model vehicles that the tabs in the center console stick or do not slide properly, refer to the procedure below
to remedy the issue.

Remove front armrest storage compartment cover. Refer to WIS document AR68.20-P-2370RT.
2.
With the armrest cover turned upside-down, insert plastic wedge under the left corner of the driver's side latch (Figure 1).

With the wedge, applying force away from the latch, pull the driver's side latch out.
