681749 Eliminating Noise Symptoms - Reworking The Centre Console

General information

Symptoms
Creaking noises from around the seat/centre console.

Causes and remedial action
Depending on the installation and component tolerances, creaking noises can come from the adaptive sports seat when it is positioned as far back and as far down as it can go when driving around corners as a result of friction between the backrest side bolsters and centre console.

In the event of a complaint, protective film must be affixed to the sides of the centre console to remedy the situation on vehicles manufactured before the date of introduction June 2005.
