Need help with removing the traction control/drive mode button

awyongcarl · 08-14-2015, 04:40 AM

Hi guys, I need some help with removing the traction control/drive mode button trim near the gear lever, I can't seems to locate the clips or whatsoever that is holding it in place.

Any help would be appreciated, thank you very much!

Put your fingers underneath and push up, the whole assembly just pops out.

Iv tried mate its not moving,
Do you also mean under the 3 bottom traction trim? Or the whole trim?

The trim is held onto the main assembly using little clips around the edge, get your nail under a corner and just start lifting, be brave it wont break... if you do it right.

The main assembly has a clip at either end holding it in, again pull up harder than you have been, it will come out.
