- Remove the panel around the gear selector lever. First press in the catches at the front of the panel. Lift the panel upwards, first at the front edge and then at the rear edge.
- Remove the two screws from the dashboard environment panel.
- Angle the dashboard environment panel outwards so that it is possible to insert a couple of fingers between the centre console and the reverse of the dashboard environment panel
- Detach the dashboard environment panel by pulling it downwards while maintaining the same angle. Some force is required because the panel is tightly installed
- Disconnect the connectors on the reverse of the dashboard environment panel. Place the dashboard environment panel to one side.
Note! If any of the outer hooks break off, these must be repaired. The method for this can be found in the Workshop Manual in the section about the dashboard.
