How is the center console of a Kia Optima disassembled?
KTC trim tool set for Special Tools Required Available under the American Honda Tool and Equipment Program is SOJATP2014. NOTE: To prevent damage when removing components, use the proper tool from the KTC trim tool set. Be careful not to scratch the dashboard, front seat, or other adjacent components. 1. To free the hooks and detach the clips, lift the center console trim (D) from both sides. 2. Remove the console mat and screws by opening the console box lid (A) (C, D). 3. To free the hooks, slide the center console’s rear section (A) backward (B). 4. Raise the console’s back (A). The rear piece of the center console should be removed after releasing the harness retainer clip (B) from the air duct and unplugging the console accessory power socket connector (C), light bulb socket connector (D), and AUX connector (E). 5. Reverse the order of removal while installing the console and make note of the following: Examine the clips for damage or stress-whitened areas, and replace them with new ones if required. Securely press the clips into place. Make sure the light bulb socket is attached firmly and that the AUX and console accessory power socket connectors are plugged in correctly.
How is the center console removed from a Hyundai Tiburon?
1. To remove the dash console surrounding the shift boot, reach in through the edge of the hole and pull up. The console ought to be simple to lift and unlatch.
2. To remove the shift knob, wrap a towel or piece of cloth over the stem and use a wrench to loosen it. Remove and unscrew. After that, take out the spring and plastic trim piece (6-spd only, 5-spd owners will be able to remove the plastic trim piece once the boot is completely disassembled, see below)
3. Reverse the console’s internals. The shift boot assembly is secured to the center console by 4 screws. Remove the staples that are holding the round trim piece and shift boot together.
4. Put the fresh shift boot on. If you tighten the screws holding the round trim piece to the center console, it will secure the boot without the need for you to re-fit the staples. Use staples if they are simple to replace. Try driving without them first if it’s challenging (lack of tools, etc.).
Owners with 5-speed transmissions should take note that the top plastic trim piece needs to be removed from the old shift boot and mounted on the new one in the same manner.
5. Reassemble everything in the reverse order that it was taken apart, and you’re done.

Wagoneer’s center seat can it be removed?
NEW YORKJeep has been moving closer to the premium segment recently, and we can categorically state that the reborn Grand Wagoneer is a luxury car.
The ’22 Grand Wagoneer that we are driving here has 75 total inches (112 cm) of display screen surfaces, making it the pinnacle of contemporary luxury, but it also features design and material attention to detail that is on par withand in some cases even superior tothat of models by well-known luxury brands.
Much of the interior and exterior metallic trim on the SUV’s highest Series III trim level that we are now driving has a dual finish, with Grand Wagoneer badging on lower doors having aluminum on the front of letters and copper on the borders. Vents can also be finished in copper or aluminum.
The switchgear and brightwork in the car were designed with fine timepieces in mind, including the textured vertical grille slots and abundant knurling on knobs and dials.
The Grand Wagoneer’s interior is a visual feast, which is hardly surprising considering Stellantis brands have received 13 Wards 10 Best Interiors awards since 2011.
The body-on-frame Grand Wagoneer, which rides on a modified version of the Ram 1500 pickup’s platform, is Jeep’s attempt to take on large luxury SUVs like the Escalade, Navigator, and Range Rover.
Despite a few drawbacks, we think both SUVs are extremely attractive overall and the Grand Wagoneer is a viable rival to the aforementioned cars.
Mike Uhlmeyer, chief engineer for the Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer, claims that despite their size, these large SUVs operate compactly and are simple to park.
But the road can clearly see their enormous impact. We can’t help but be close to lane lines on the Henry Hudson and Saw Mill River parkways’ tiny lanes, which keeps lane-keeping assist technology on high alert almost constantly.
Both SUVs’ adaptive cruise control systems function well in terms of driver assistance, slowing us down and accelerating us behind moving traffic in a way that feels naturalneither abrupt nor jerky. Additionally beneficial, active steering is not a nuisance.
The majority of the ADAS features in the Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer can be changed in the settings menu of the car, however wearing sunglasses and bright sunshine make it difficult to see the little blue dots that indicate a choice.
Although both of the versions we test have adjustable air suspension, the ride is firm in both Normal and Sport modes, making the Saw Mill Parkway’s pavement undulations very noticeable.
Rock mode enables us to quickly cross a rough mound of stones on a brief course for serious off-roaders.
It feels normal to use standard electronic power steering. Both types require only minor inputs to move the massive vehicles into and out of parking places since they both have variable effort (selectable via drive modes) and variable ratios (built-in).
The 5.7L Hemi V-8 engine from Stellantis, along with its 48V e-Torque mild hybrid system, powers the Wagoneer. The technology does provide a considerable 130 lb.-ft. (176 Nm) of extra torque to move this beast, but the effect on fuel economy is not immediately obvious.
Our recorded high of 19.4 mpg (12 L/100 km) on the interstate in Westchester County drops to 17.2 mpg (14 L/100 km) following stop-and-go city traffic, even when regenerative braking is occurring (we frequently feel engine drag when lifting off the throttle). Without a doubt, the necessity of air conditioning on a hot day affected our results.
The Grand Wagoneer’s 471-hp 6.4L V-8 and the Wagoneer’s 392-hp 5.7L V-8 both smack you in your seat at wide-open throttle. On a level length of highway, both SUVs move like they weigh only half their combined 6,000 lbs (2,722 kg).
The Multi Displacement cylinder deactivation system from Stellantis allows the 6.4L Hemi to transition between 8- and 4-cylinder modes nearly quietly.
Even while our Grand Wagoneer’s 6,450 lb (2,926 kg) curb weight is evident as the 6.4L Hemi struggles to negotiate a steep hill at the Castle Hotel in Tarrytown, aluminum doors, fenders, and a composite liftgate are used to minimize mass.
One does not like fuel economy. Disappointing results, especially in view of a recent “code red report” by the United Nations on issues related to global warming, can be seen in our observed averages of 1419 mpg (16.812.4 L/100 km).
With plug-in hybrid versions of the Jeep Wrangler and the brand-new Grand Cherokee, Stellantis, which has trailed behind other automakers in the electrification department, is attempting to catch up. The Wagoneer twins should receive a comparable offer, we hope. A prospective, but not definite, PHEV variant of one or both is predicted by Wards Intelligence partner LMC Automotive.
Despite having a ton of screens inside, both cars feature a ton of manual controls. A minor complaint is that several buttons’ glossy piano black finishes make it difficult to view their symbols in direct sunlight.
Families should favor second-row infotainment screens and the passenger-side instrument panel (where a parent can monitor and manage the second-row content without disturbing the driver).
Additionally, the Grand Wagoneer (seen above) includes AmazonFireTV, which allows it to stream Netflix, Amazon Prime, and YouTube video, modernizing such systems. You can now discard those DVDs, parents.
Both Wagoneers come with several USB, USB-C, and HDMI connectors as well as 12V and 115V outlets.
In our Grand Wagoneer tester, the center second row features the same upscale center console with a 2-level box as the front row. To reveal a tray, open a tambour door; to reveal a cooler, safe, or simple storage, lift the lid.
The second row in our Wagoneer is a 40/20/40 split with a moveable middle seat, and the third row is a 3-person bench in both cars. For simpler access to the backseat, a button on the second-row seats is pushed, flipping the seatback forward and tilting the entire seat forward.
Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto are both available. We begin wired to charge and overlook the charging pad that is tucked up beneath the Comfort screen. We occasionally have unusual interference between the built-in infotainment system and CarPlay, with the latter occasionally starting unexpectedly and erasing our pre-programmed route via the onboard navi. Perhaps this is because we are wired.
