12. Slide back the floor console. To do this - remove the rear ash tray by pressing down on the spring tabs at the top of the ash tray. Then remove the two screws that hold down the back of the console.

13. Slacken the adjuster for the emergency (hand) brake lever (13 mm wrench) so that it can be pulled to a near vertical position. Be mindful of the spring tang for the adjuster nut. It must stay positioned to the rear or it can interfere and damage the floor console. Pull the lever up all the way.

14. Manual transmission: shift it into reverse and slide the console back as far as possible. Automatic: select drive one and then pull off the shift handle - then slide the console back and lift it up and off of the shifter and slide it back further. Gently rest the console on top of the shift lever.
15. To remove the center console side panel first loosen the front inner seat track bolt and rotate the metal tag under the track out of the way. Remove the two retaining screws. Slide the bottom edge of the panel forward and down - then slip the panel out. Remove the other side in the same fashion. (Note RHD: the driver's footrest with two long bolts is in place of the single lower footwell screw).
