Center Console Lid Cannot Be Opened
Vehicle Type:
Cayenne/Cayenne S/Cayenne Turbo
Model Year:
'03 (3) and '05 (5)
Concerns:
Center console lid for upper oddments tray cannot be opened.
Information:
The reason for this is that the locking hook bracket in the release unit for the oddments tray is broken. As a result, the locking hook and bracket become
jammed in the eye of the lid; -> the lid cannot be opened.
Until a permanent solution becomes available, as a temporary measure, the release unit is now attached more securely in vehicle production. A release
unit with a modified locking hook attachment will be available at a later time.
Note!
The following applies for opening the blocked oddments tray:
For vehicles with no telephone: The lid can be opened using a temporary measure.
For vehicles with a telephone: Force must be used to open the lid because the handset support is screwed to the oddments tray. In this case, the
armrest must be replaced afterwards.
Action required:
In the event of a complaint in relation to vehicles with no telephone, replace the release unit in the oddments tray (Figure 1) or replace the armrest on
vehicles with a telephone.
For instructions on opening the lid as a temporary measure, removing/installing the release unit or armrest, see Workshop Manual Section file # CAY6
3-05 shown in this bulletin. Workshop Manual is also available for download from e-DCS.
